Wall Flower

While traditional cabinets sit on the floor, Bulthaup's b3 kitchen is hung from a wall system that's engineered to support lower, middle, and upper cabinets, as well as accessories, such as the spice rack and knife holders shown here. Suddenly, your wall is a key player in your kitchen.
