The 1610 Series 8 can be seen as the more accessible sibling of the 1528 Series, carrying over many of the same design cues, materials, and carefully selected finishes.
While positioned at a different price point, the 1610 Series still reflects our focus on clean, modern Scandinavian design, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into a wide range of home environments.
Design Approach and Finishes
The 1610 Series shares much of the visual DNA of the 1528 Series, but with a more streamlined approach to materials and finishes to maintain its strong value proposition.
Even though the finishes are more standardized, we still put great care into selecting colors and coatings that:
Look consistent across different materials
Complement each other visually
Maintain a premium appearance
Color Matching and Materials
Different materials, such as HDF, metal, and plastic, will always reflect light differently. For that reason, we use slightly adjusted variations of the same color tones across components to achieve the closest possible visual match.
This ensures a cohesive overall appearance, even if individual parts are not identical in formulation.
