A kitchen only as good as the paths you take through it. storage space is often viewed storage space : a cabinet here, a shelf there. But true efficiency comes from a well-thought-out layout. In professional kitchen design, a standard has emerged for this: the functional pantry.

‍

1. The design concept: refrigerator TANDEM = pure logic

Good kitchen planning starts with clearly defined zones. The combination of a refrigerator fresh produce and the Kesseböhmer TANDEM for dry goods creates a compact hub that revolutionizes everyday life.

‍

• Convenient access: Everything you need for a meal is in one place.

• Organized zones: Instead kitchen supplies throughout the kitchen , group them together. This creates visual harmony in the layout and clarity in workflow.

• The TANDEM principle: When opened, the contents automatically split apart. One section moves forward with the door, while the rear section gently slides toward it. The entire contents are accessible with a single motion.

2. Which TANDEM size is right for you?

The right size kitchen less on the square footage of kitchen than on the size of the household and individual shopping habits.

‍

Width: 450 mm to 600 mm

• 450 mm: The ideal solution for single-person households, narrow niches, or as a specialized addition (e.g., as a dedicated baking or beverage cabinet).

• 500–600 mm (The gold standard): With a footprint of just about 60 × 50 cm, a 600-series TANDEM comfortably holds a family of four’s entire weekly grocery haul.

‍

Height: 1,100 mm to 1,700 mm

• Compact (1100–1300 mm): Perfect for sideboards, highboards, or projects under sloped ceilings.

• Tall (1400–1700 mm): Maximizes storage space in larder unit. When combined with a refrigerator eye level, this creates a visually and functionally cohesive pantry system.

3. Load capacity as a mark of quality: No compromises

Load capacity isn’t just detail technical detail it determines durability. Pantry cabinets have to handle heavy loads (canned goods, glass bottles, bulk packs). While standard solutions often become unstable, the TANDEM system stands out with hard facts:

‍

• 60 kg load capacity the pull-out frame.

• 24 kg load capacity door shelf.

‍

The benefit for you: Put things away without a second thought. You can feel the sturdiness the moment you open it—a tactile sign of quality that instills confidence.
