In this article, we zoom in on Optima, a brand of the LMC Group that, in addition to assembled custom drawers, is breaking out this spring with a very wide and trendy offering in custom furniture fronts. The solutions in customization they provide as a service is a push for the young ambitious professional.

The benefits

The complete range is presented in a clear catalog that the craftsman can take to his customer. He can thus present furniture fronts using situational pictures with a clear overview of available colors and decors in various qualities and finishes: 4-sided edging, 3D polymer, lacquer, wood (veneer and solid), stainless steel and aluminum frame with glass. With this, the craftsman always has a particularly wide range of possibilities at hand. After measurement, he can easily configure the furniture fronts together with the drawers online and order them in a few clicks at optimastore.com via his personal account, where the agreed net rates are visible. The responsibility of the entire production process lies with Optima, which therefore makes every effort to deliver the best quality. After all, the craftsman and his customer only pay once, so no nasty surprises that can cost them margin. These are important advantages that determine the choice to do it yourself, or to outsource. Another advantage is that Optima can be used to increase clout, for example if the order book is already well filled and therefore the in-house production capacity is full. Then outsourcing can be a very smart move.

Finishes

The quality is impeccable at all times and the finish is very diverse. From matte to ultra matte, acrylic and acrylic metallic, from glossy to +gloss or with trendy decors such as Tiles, Lava, Carbone or Crumble. The Cleaf collections Matrix, Sherwood, Pembroke and Ares are also available. But also finishes in Old Slate Oak, Factory or Rust and various wood effects can be discovered in the wide range. In lacquer, the full range can be ordered in RAL, SIKKENS or NCS. For the most noble, warm and natural experience, there are the solid wood fronts available in raw finish, bleached, natural varnish or oiled. And for the more industrial look, custom furniture fronts can be supplied in stainless steel, or in glass door with alu frame with or without invisible incorporated Air hinge. 

Inset handles

The Linate model has a milled-out J-shape for a functional and comfortable grip. A beautiful finish with a perfect aesthetic result. Linate is available in matte or glossy solid colors and in wood decors. Luna and Uma models feature an L handle and U handle respectively in matte black or matte white, stainless steel look or anodized silver finishes.
