Salice Exedra Gravity

Redefining Concealed Storage with Intelligent Pocket Door Technology

As contemporary interiors continue to embrace clean lines, multifunctional spaces and minimalist aesthetics, the demand for hardware that conceals without compromising accessibility has never been greater.

Architects and designers are increasingly challenged to create spaces that can effortlessly transition between open, social environments and discreet, clutter-free interiors. Meeting this challenge is Salice Exedra Gravity, an innovative pocket door system that combines elegant engineering with exceptional functionality.

Designed for premium residential and commercial joinery, Exedra Gravity allows full-height cabinet doors to disappear completely within a cabinet cavity, revealing the contents only when required. The result is a seamless design language that transforms kitchens, bars, wardrobes, home offices and storage spaces into sophisticated, adaptable environments.

A New Generation of Pocket Door Systems

Unlike traditional pocket door mechanisms that rely on cables, springs or tie rods, Exedra Gravity introduces an entirely new operating concept. Its patented concealed mechanism delivers assisted movement without the complexity of conventional systems, providing a smooth, balanced operation while reducing visible hardware and simplifying installation.

The system offers two operating configurations:

• Automatic door extraction (Out), where the door is gently presented to the user from within the cabinet.
• Automatic door insertion (In), allowing the door to retract effortlessly back into the cabinet with a light push.

Every movement is controlled and precise, creating a premium tactile experience that complements high-end interior design.

Design Without Compromise

One of Exedra Gravity’s greatest strengths is its ability to make large cabinetry virtually disappear.

When closed, cabinetry maintains uninterrupted, architectural lines. When opened, the doors retract completely into concealed side compartments, eliminating the need for protruding swing doors and allowing unrestricted access to the cabinet interior.

This flexibility makes the system particularly valuable for contemporary applications including:

• Appliance garages and breakfast stations
• Hidden preparation kitchens
• Home bars and entertaining spaces
• Walk-in wardrobes
• Home office cabinetry
• Laundry storage
• Luxury retail displays
• Commercial workplace storage

As living spaces become increasingly open-plan, the ability to conceal functional areas has become an important design consideration. Exedra Gravity enables designers to maintain visual simplicity while preserving full functionality behind beautifully crafted joinery

Engineered for Large-Scale Joinery

Exedra Gravity has been developed to accommodate substantial cabinetry without sacrificing performance.

The system supports doors up to 40 kg, with door heights ranging from 1100 mm to 3000 mm, widths between 300 mm and 900 mm, and door thicknesses from 10 mm to 30 mm. This generous specification allows designers to create floor-to-ceiling storage solutions while maintaining effortless operation.

The concealed mechanism is housed within a slim 55 mm pocket, preserving valuable internal cabinet space while remaining easily accessible for future adjustment or servicing without dismantling the cabinet.

Simplicity Behind Sophisticated Engineering

Although Exedra Gravity delivers highly sophisticated movement, the system has been designed with cabinetmakers and installers in mind.

The mechanism attaches directly to the cabinet side using locating clips and positioning stops, allowing rapid installation and removal when required. All adjustment points remain accessible from the front of the cabinet, significantly reducing installation time and simplifying fine tuning on site.

Salice also provides an online configurator that assists manufacturers throughout specification, design and installation by generating component selections, machining information and assembly guidance tailored to individual projects.

Designed for Contemporary Living

Modern interior design increasingly demands flexibility.

Kitchens have evolved beyond food preparation into entertaining hubs. Home offices are expected to disappear at the end of the working day. Laundry rooms are integrated into living areas, while bars and coffee stations are concealed until required.

Exedra Gravity supports this evolution by allowing spaces to transform instantly. A fully equipped kitchen workstation can be hidden behind elegant cabinetry. A workstation becomes invisible once work concludes. A luxury drinks cabinet opens effortlessly for entertaining before disappearing once again into a refined architectural façade.

Rather than treating cabinetry as static storage, Exedra Gravity enables designers to create dynamic interiors that respond to changing lifestyles.

Premium Finishes and Versatile Integration

To complement contemporary joinery, Exedra Gravity is available in nickel-plated and titanium finishes and can be specified with either Smove soft-close hinges or Push-to-Open hinges for handleless applications.

The system is compatible with a broad range of materials, including timber and aluminium-framed doors, giving designers considerable freedom when specifying finishes and construction methods.

A Solution That Enhances Design

Today’s premium interiors rely on more than beautiful materials, they depend upon hardware that disappears into the architecture while enhancing everyday usability.

Exedra Gravity achieves exactly that. By combining innovative engineering, refined movement and complete door concealment, it allows designers to maximise space without compromising aesthetics. The result is cabinetry that feels lighter, cleaner and more considered, supporting the growing demand for multifunctional interiors that balance beauty with practicality.

For architects, interior designers and cabinetmakers seeking to elevate residential or commercial projects, Salice Exedra Gravity represents more than a pocket door system, it is an enabling technology that transforms the way spaces are experienced.
