<strong>MOVEMENT</strong> <strong>SYSTEMS</strong><br />
Providing the perfect movement<br />
solution for every piece of<br />
furniture – that is our passion<br />
A piece of furniture is far more than a mundane utility item.<br />
Some pieces stay with us for a lifetime. They are part of our<br />
everyday world. A piece of furniture is an individual design<br />
object that enables us to style our homes precisely in<br />
accordance with our needs and aspirations. And there is an<br />
ever-increasing emphasis on convenience and comfort.<br />
GraSS movement systems offer all the ingredients for<br />
turning your dreams into living reality. Experience the<br />
beauty of movement as the expression of pure lifestyle.
GraSS <strong>MOVEMENT</strong> <strong>SYSTEMS</strong><br />
Functional movement means<br />
so much more than simply<br />
“open and close”.<br />
The GraSS brand stands for visionary product<br />
developments, top quality, technical precision,<br />
progressive design and exemplary protection<br />
of the environment.<br />
<strong>GRASS</strong> has ranked among the world’s leading<br />

Austria and Germany” and are internationally<br />
successful with more than 200 distributors around<br />

brands and exclusive cabinetmakers to life.
KiNVarO<br />
FLAP <strong>SYSTEMS</strong><br />
Modern design, innovative technology<br />
and functional movement comfort<br />
for wall cabinets.<br />
8
KiNVarO FLAP <strong>SYSTEMS</strong><br />
Comfort in four dimensions.<br />
Kinvaro provides the perfect<br />
movement solution for every<br />
application.<br />
With all the space available at the top of cabinets, the only limit is<br />
personal choice. The <strong>GRASS</strong> Kinvaro series redefines the principle of<br />
the classic wall cabinet. Wall cabinets continue to rank among the<br />
most favoured storage solutions for kitchens. And they are destined<br />
to remain so, thanks to our extremely functional and comfortable<br />
flap systems. Stable and reliable movement systems, easy and<br />
silent in application, ergonomically well designed and comfortable<br />
to operate – these are the special ingredients for modern storage<br />
concepts. Kinvaro flap systems represent the perfect synthesis of<br />
innovative design ambition and functional movement in the spirit<br />
of modern furniture culture.<br />
Whichever flap you open – the exclusive folding, parallel lift,<br />
up-and-over, and lift-up flap systems ensure perfect access<br />
and maximum freedom of movement.<br />
10<br />
KiNVarO F<br />
FOLDING FLAP SYSTEM<br />
The two-part front folds upwards<br />
to provide optimal access to the<br />
entire storage space. The particularly<br />
smooth movement sequence is<br />
enhanced by the integrated, adjustable<br />
Soft-close damping. The system<br />
is also ideal for handle-free fronts.
KiNVarO L<br />
PARALLEL LIFT FLAP SYSTEM<br />
The single front opens in parallel<br />
with the cabinet and remains fixed<br />
in any position. Parallel lift flap<br />
systems are very elegant in their<br />
movement, extremely stable and<br />
particularly well suited to cabinets<br />
with kitchen equipment. Ideal for<br />
large, handle-free fronts.<br />
KiNVarO S<br />
UP-AND-OVER FLAP SYSTEM<br />
The single front lifts up above the<br />
cabinet at an angle and remains<br />
fixed in any position. Up-and-over<br />
flap systems are extremely stable<br />
and particularly well suited to cabinets<br />
with cornices, pelmets and attached<br />
lights. Ideal for handle-free fronts.<br />
KiNVarO T<br />
LIFT-UP FLAP <strong>SYSTEMS</strong><br />
The single front opens up comfortably<br />
with a gentle lift movement.<br />
The particularly elegant movement<br />
sequence is enhanced by the<br />
integrated, adjustable Soft-close<br />
damping. Ideal for light to mediumweight<br />
fronts.<br />
11
KiNVarO FLAP <strong>SYSTEMS</strong><br />
Easy opening, effortless access<br />
to cabinet contents and gentle,<br />
silent closure – these are the special<br />
features of Kinvaro flap systems.<br />
Whether high-gloss, wood or aluminium frame – the<br />
Kinvaro flap systems not only look good, they also<br />
provide limitless design freedom for cabinets.<br />
And the inner values are irresistible too: a gentle tap or pull<br />
is all it takes to set the flaps gently in motion. They seem<br />
to glide upwards almost weightlessly. The closing operation<br />
is also particularly comfortable. With Soft-close, the integrated<br />
damping system, each movement becomes an experience.<br />
Soft-close gently slows the movement of the front and pulls<br />
it to the fully closed position. It is no surprise therefore,<br />
that Soft-close has become the benchmark.<br />

TiOMOS<br />
HINGE SYSTEM<br />
Currently the best<br />
possible movement solution<br />
for furniture doors.<br />
15
TiOMOS HINGE SYSTEM<br />
You can’t reinvent the wheel.<br />
But the hinge is another matter.<br />
With the latest generation of hinges,<br />
a vision has been transformed into reality.<br />
Hinges were already used in ancient times. With Tiomos,<br />
<strong>GRASS</strong> is now opening a new chapter which will inspire<br />
the furniture makers of the future. The development of<br />
Tiomos has benefited from several decades of know-how<br />
and experience. Years of research have been dedicated<br />
to reconceptualising and developing every detail and<br />
function from the bottom up. The result is a very elegant<br />
movement system which already meets all the technical<br />
and functional requirements of tomorrow.<br />
17
TiOMOS HINGE SYSTEM<br />
Soft-close inside.<br />
The whole damper technology is<br />
concealed within the hinge arm.<br />
One of the outstanding characteristics of the new hinge system is<br />
the Soft-close closing damper which features stepwise adjustment<br />
and is fully concealed within the hinge arm. The complex inner<br />
workings of this high-tech hinge are hidden from view, much like<br />
a Swiss clock movement, and cannot fail to impress with their unique<br />
damping characteristics. The closing process in each movement<br />
phase is smooth and completely without transition. Irrespective of<br />
the size and weight of the door.<br />
The objective was to create a product innovation with special<br />
functions, variable operating comfort and timeless design<br />
as well as its own individual character. and the result is up<br />
to the mark. Tiomos is the perfect movement system for<br />
foreseeable trends in furniture design.<br />
18
in most cases, a masterpiece is<br />
the summation of many small<br />
strokes of genius. Tiomos is the<br />
best example to prove the point.<br />
Another stroke of genius is the<br />
new kinematics inside Tiomos.<br />
Thanks to physically optimised lever<br />
movements, furniture doors are<br />
extremely easy to open. In addition,<br />
this unique kinematic mechanism<br />
makes unprecedented alignment<br />
possible with minimum gaps.<br />

facility. The entire drawer can be adjusted vertically<br />

handle. in short, it takes just a few tweaks to achieve<br />
optimal alignment.

becomes a drawer system that already meets the functional requirements of tomorrow.<br />

NOVa prO DRAWER SYSTEM<br />
In a perfectly organised kitchen, everything<br />
has its place. Because things that are put<br />
away tidily are also readily found. And<br />
that applies in particular to the contents<br />
of drawers and pull-outs.<br />
Whether it’s food items, beverages, kitchen utensils or plates, cups and<br />
cutlery – everything should be neatly stored and instantly retrievable.<br />
With the top-quality dividing and organising systems for Nova Pro, that<br />
becomes child’s play.<br />
Good to know a product meets all the rational arguments but<br />
still leaves room for the personal touch. With Nova pro, even<br />
organisation is an entirely individual arrangement.<br />

GraSS COMFORT <strong>SYSTEMS</strong><br />
TipMaTiC<br />
OPENING <strong>SYSTEMS</strong><br />
Mechanical opening of<br />
regular and pot drawers as<br />
well as furniture doors.<br />
The striking architectural qualities of modern furniture are<br />
reflected in its large surfaces, clean lines and a refreshing purism<br />
in its formal language. Reduction and simple elegance are the<br />
trends of our time. In line with the contemporary approach, furniture<br />
design increasingly focuses on door and drawer systems without<br />
handles or recessed grips. For furniture of this kind, where the<br />
emphasis is on looks and design, Tipmatic provides optimal scope<br />
for creativity. The touch-sensitive mechanism enables large,<br />
handle-free fronts and doors to be opened with just a gentle tap.<br />
Good to know the movement is not only technically<br />
functional, but also extremely comfortable. Because<br />
that makes every opening action an experience.<br />
41
GraSS COMFORT <strong>SYSTEMS</strong><br />
SENSOMaTiC<br />
OPENING SYSTEM<br />
Electro-mechanical opening<br />
of regular and pot drawers<br />
for top operating comfort.<br />
Action. Reaction. Interaction. Comfort cannot be any more<br />
fascinating. Thanks to Sensomatic’s automatic touch-sensitive<br />
function, a gentle trigger is enough to start the drawer movement.<br />
The mechanical touch or pull is converted into an electrical signal<br />
which starts the movement process within a few fractions of a<br />
second. Evenly, precisely and elegantly, all at once. Sensomatic<br />
in combination with Soft-close, the mechanical damping system,<br />
guarantees top-level comfort. Because the two systems<br />
combine all the advantages of handle-free opening with the<br />
elegance of damped closing.<br />
in short: Sensomatic is an interactive<br />
movement system for top operating comfort<br />
and maximum freedom of movement.<br />
42
GraSS COMFORT <strong>SYSTEMS</strong><br />
SENSOTrONiC<br />
SLIDE SYSTEM<br />
Fully electronically controlled<br />
movement for Nova Pro regular<br />
and pot drawers.<br />
Sensotronic combines all the benefits of a mechanical<br />
drawer slide with the fascinating possibilities of electronic<br />
systems. Sensotronic sets new benchmarks in user<br />
comfort and intelligent functionality. A gentle tap or pull<br />
is all it takes. Drawers open as if by themselves. All<br />
automatically. Always at the same speed and by the same<br />
amount. Irrespective of the load they carry. Sensotronic<br />
opens, closes, accelerates, brakes and controls the<br />
movement electronically.<br />
Good to know that form and function<br />
can be combined so perfectly.<br />
