LEICHT Contracts, one of the UK’s leading providers of German-engineered kitchen furniture to the new build and regeneration construction markets, is the first and only kitchen manufacturer to include the iconic Les Couleurs Le Corbusier colour palette in its portfolio.
Now exclusively available for the company’s KYOTO furniture, the original Le Corbusier colours offer high-pigment shades, designed to be an essential component of architectural design, influencing spatial perception and the proportion and scale of interior spaces. LEICHT Contracts award-winning KYOTO collection is a contemporary furniture range defined by a stylish 3D relief frame, elegant integrated real wood handle, and Japanese craftsmanship.
Sarah Edwards, Managing Director UK at LEICHT Contracts, says, “KYOTO by Leicht serves the interior design community with a modern planning concept, which is characterised by its Japanese craftsmanship and German innovation. Now thanks to the authentic Les Couleurs® palette developed by Le Corbusier, our KYOTO furniture has the power to effortlessly coordinate colour, material and structure in today’s most contemporary living spaces.”
Delivering endless design possibilities for the premium property market, KYOTO Les Couleurs presents a bold interplay of colours to create highly structured living spaces that are individual and creative. The KYOTO collection lends itself perfectly to the art of colour blocking, giving prominence to the solid wood handles to create personal works of art that become the basis of a kitchen living space. For example, check out the LEICHT kitchen, which is designed in white and all three primary colours to mimic the style of artwork by Piet Mondrian (Composition with Red, Blue, and Yellow), seen hanging above the peninsula island unit.
Suitable for all unit widths available from LEICHT Contracts, each Les Couleurs door front can be designed in a uniform or irregular format. The KYOTO 3D relief frame and integrated handle, available in light oak or walnut, help provide contrast and create the illusion of depth on a flat surface.
Available now, KYOTO Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier from LEICHT Contracts includes the following options:
- BLUE (Bleu céruléen 31) is known for its soothing and expansive qualities. It is deemed one of 2025’s most covetable colour trends, naturally associated with open spaces like the sea and sky, to present a calming effect and sense of stillness.
- GREY & BLACK (Gris foncé 31) Dubbed ‘iron grey’ by the design elite, soft and warming shades of grey continue to evoke modernity in the contemporary home, with lighter shades promoting calm and neutrality, and darker hues bringing a sense of sophistication and strength.
- RED OCHRE & BROWN (L’ocre rouge) Reminiscent of the deep red shades found in ancient architecture, RED OCHRE & BROWN will consolidate any style of kitchen scheme, while creating a natural bridge between the homeowner and energy throughout the space.
- GREEN (Vert anglais) A botanical colour option, GREEN introduces beautiful shades of the English countryside with a hint of blue to present a visually quiet aesthetic in this year’s most popular trend colour!
- UMBRA (Ombre naturelle 31) Regarded as a shadow colour; UMBRA presents a neutral shade of grey with lilac undertones that allows surfaces to blend into the background and remain discreet in appearance.
The KYOTO Collection is also available in oak and walnut, along with a comprehensive range of custom RAL and NCS colours including 2,800 RAL shades and 2,000 NCS colours as standard. Pick your shades, let them flirt with the light, and watch your cabinets serve serious style alongside the coffee.
