The way we use kitchens has changed. As pantries and larders have gone out of fashion, the need for ample storage space in the kitchen has increased and clients are looking for innovative solutions that get the most out of their space.

Specialists in minimalist, aesthetic yet functional kitchens, Eba Interiors has come up with a solution: the plinth drawer. Designed by company founder José Antonio Santos, the plinth drawer utilises the dead space usually taken up by a plinth, creating an extra storage space.

While the plinth is typically used to add height to kitchen units, this solution takes advantage of the space by adding a drawer.

Ergonomically designed with a sloping front so that users can still stand close to the counter or sink, the plinth drawer sits above a 2cm levelling plinth and can hold up to 70kg of additional wares.

Plinth drawers are available in varying heights, depths and widths and are installed on full-extension slides for ease of access. The plinth drawer is an easy-to-use, ergonomic addition to a system of up to four drawers under the counter.

Given their location, plinth drawers are naturally discreet, which makes them an ideal minimalist solution for aesthetic, functional kitchens.
