GERMANY - Vauth Sagel's VS TOP Down drop-down unit has won the Golden Award – Best of the Best in the Kitchen Furniture and Equipment Category.

Expert jury and consumers agree: When it comes to ergonomically difficult-to-access wall unit areas, this system sets new standards. The VS TOP Down stands out for its functionality, innovation, product benefits, design and ergonomics.

“We are particularly proud of this award because it shows the full extent of our innovative strength,” says Georg Wittenbrink, Head of Product Management and Design at Vauth Sagel.

Rarely used items tucked away in the back of the wall unit are probably one of the biggest challenges in the kitchen. Depending on your age and height, these are often out of reach. Balancing on your tiptoes or trying to use a stepladder is a thing of the past thanks to VS TOP Down.

The jury also recognised other benefits of the product: With VS TOP Down, the space underneath the shelf can still be used. VS TOP Down is easy to retrofit and can be used with both wall units with double doors and gas strut hinges. In addition, the shelf can be easily configured: Thanks to the manual spring force setting, constantly moderated drop-down movement is guaranteed and functionality in the kitchen is significantly improved.
