OREA turns dreams into reality – from kitchens all the way to holistic interior concepts.
Overarching concept: The hallway unit can be coordinated with the kitchen and flooring
Today’s customers want holistic interior concepts that incorporate every room. Or to put it another way: the furnishings should create the impression of a seamless, harmonious whole. This is where Orea comes in. Besides producing coherently designed kitchens, the company also creates entire interior concepts that extend throughout the living space and include the flooring, furniture and bathrooms.

×The company’s philosophy plays a key role: the kitchen maker believes that each and every product – regardless of whether it is an accessory, a piece of furniture or a kitchen – should meet three criteria: it should be elegant, meticulously crafted and give the customer added value. Because a kitchen is not a short-term investment: in most cases, it remains an important part of the living space for more than 15 years.
The kitchen furnishings and accessories are produced at the kitchen factory in Muotathal – mainly from Swiss wood. An efficient combination of fully automated and manual steps has proven a highly successful production strategy. Orea is one of the first craft producers to laser-edge its furniture, a finishing technique that makes the edging seem to merge with the panel. Natural materials like domestically grown wood in plain colours and with a matt finish are very much on trend right now. Customers also attach great importance to top-quality, authentic and preferably untreated materials that reveal their natural beauty.
