Sensomatic: 

Balancing design with 

functional user comfort. 

The architecture of modern furniture appeals through its large 

surfaces, clear lines and the refreshing purism in its pattern 

language. Simplicity and plain elegance are the trends of our time. 

As a result, furniture designers increasingly focus on door and 

drawer systems without handles or recessed grips. 

For this type of designer furniture, the electro-mechanical 

opening system made by Grass offers virtually optimum 

design possibilities.


Electro-mechanical opening for 

top operating comfort: 

A light touch or pull is all that is 

needed for drawers and pot 

drawers to open as if by themselves. 

Statistics tell us that drawers and pot drawers are opened and 

closed up to eight times a day. How much nicer then, when 

this movement is not only technically functional, but also extremely 

comfortable. Then every opening and closing action becomes 

an experience.


Small lever. Large effect. 

Functional technology starts in the detail.

Ideally, the development of new movement systems involves a direct interaction with the people who 

will use them. Sensomatic is the best reference for this. 

The electro-mechanical system supports the opening process with the help of a small lever which gently pushes 

drawers and pot drawers. Sensomatic is extremely frugal. This is true of its power consumption as well as the space 

needed by the drive unit behind the drawer. The fact that the opening system can be triggered from anywhere on the 

front surface today makes Sensomatic the perfect movement system for the functional requirements of tomorrow.


An opening system 

as design element. 

With or without handle – Sensomatic opens every 

drawer or pot drawer precisely and comfortably. 

For furniture designers this means: limitless design 

freedom. Whether purist design with clear lines, 

plain, handle-free elegance or fronts with recessed 

grips – the electro-mechanical opening system 

offers many fascinating possibilities. But not only 

that. 

Sensomatic turns every movement into a 

sensual experience. With Sensomatic, living 

has a sensual dimension.

Sensomatic can be triggered 

anywhere on the front surface; 

a light touch or pull is enough 

to start an even movement of 

the drawers.


Action. Reaction. Interaction. 

Comfort cannot be any more fascinating. 

Thanks to the touch-sensitive automatic Sensomatic mechanism 

a gentle trigger is enough to start the movement of drawers and pot 

drawers. In this process, the mechanical touch or pull is converted 

into an electrical signal which starts the movement process within a 

fraction of a second. Evenly, precisely and elegantly, all at once. 

In short: Sensomatic is an interactive 

movement system for top operating comfort 

and maximum freedom of movement.


Two, and yet only one: 

Sensomatic and Soft-close. 

Sensomatic, the electro-mechanical opening system, 

and Soft-close, the mechanical damper system, form a 

functional unit for maximum comfort in all living areas. 

It has never been more convenient to open a drawer. And it 

has never been more comfortable to close a drawer. Sensomatic 

and Soft-close complement each other to form a harmonious 

multi-functional principle. The two systems combine all advantages 

of handle-free opening with the elegance of damped 

closing. 

The combination of these exceptional functions guarantees 

operating comfort at the highest level.


How about one single 

opening system for all applications? 

Here you have it: Sensomatic can be used 

to open all GRASS systems. Irrespective 

of whether these are double-wall drawers 

or wooden drawers. 

Versatility can significantly improve the efficiency of a system. 

That is no different for a movement system. 

Sensomatic is a highly efficient system, not least because it only needs 

one drive unit for all weight classes and cabinet widths up to 1,200 mm. 

But that is not all. In addition, the electro-mechanical opening system can 

be combined with all GRASS drawer and slide systems. And that is possible 

without modifying the drawers themselves. 

Likewise, other applications such as wire baskets, waste separating systems 

and larder units can be used without modification and opened easily 

and comfortably with Sensomatic. This versatility makes Sensomatic a multitalented 

electro-mechanical device. Comfortable. Efficient. Convincing.


»Opening a drawer with 

Sensomatic is not 

only extremely comfortable. 

For me, it is technology 

that is fun.«


As if made for one another: 

Sensomatic and Nova Pro. 

Nova Pro, the elegant complete drawer programme by 

GRASS offers innovative functionality, timeless design and 

maximum comfort – from the slide to the add-on system. 

The double-wall drawer sides guarantee optimum lateral 

stability, synchronised movement, silent running and nearly 

limitless design possibilities. Different colour options, 

different materials, design lines and shapes, supplemented 

by numerous high-quality add-on and divider systems – the 

variation makes Nova Pro an inspiration for the furniture 

design of today. 

And in combination with Sensomatic or Sensotronic, 

Nova Pro becomes a drawer system that already 

meets the functional requirements of tomorrow.


An extremely comfortable combination: 

Sensomatic and DWD XP. 

DWD XP, the versatile complete drawer programme by 

GRASS, offers outstanding running characteristics and 

individual design possibilities – from the slide to the 

add-on system. 

Different colour options, different materials, design lines 

and shapes, supplemented by numerous high-quality 

add-on and divider systems – all harmoniously designed 

to match – these are the ingredients for individuality, 

comfort and good living. 

In combination with Sensomatic, the double-wall 

DWD XP drawer sides can be moved extremely 

comfortably.


Invisible, elegant and comfortable: 

Sensomatic and Dynapro. 

High load rating. Synchronised movement. 3D adjustment. These are the 

special characteristics of the new concealed precision slide by GRASS. For 

people who prefer unusual designs and expect a concealed slide to have 

excellent running characteristics, good stability, precision and extraordinary 

operating comfort - Dynapro is the right choice. 

Dynapro offers invisible functionality for maximum individuality. 

In combination with Sensomatic it is possible to fulfil all requirements relating 

to functionality, comfort and design.
