The Pinello is a narrow pull-out storage unit designed to fit into those awkward 150mm base cabinets that often end up wasted in kitchen designs. Made by Peka and running on Blum's soft-close mechanisms, it transforms a slim gap beside your cooker or between larger units into organised storage space.
Where It Fits
This unit works in base cabinets that are just 150mm wide externally, making it perfect for those tight spots where nothing else will fit. You'll need at least 508mm of internal cabinet depth and 525mm of height. It suits modern kitchens where every centimetre counts, particularly in galley layouts or where space is at a premium.
How It Works
The entire unit pulls out smoothly on Blum's soft-close runners, bringing three white shelves fully into view. The shelves have clean, simple lines and come with non-slip matting to prevent items sliding around when you open and close the unit. Magnetic dividers let you create compartments of different sizes, while a dedicated bottle partition keeps tall items secure.
Why It Matters
Those narrow spaces in your kitchen often become forgotten zones where things get pushed to the back and lost. This pull-out brings everything to you, so you can see and reach items easily. The magnetic dividers mean you can adapt the storage as your needs change, whether you're storing spices, oils, cleaning products, or tall bottles.
Design Consideration
The white finish works well with most kitchen styles, but you're limited to this single colour option. The unit can handle up to 40kg, which is generous for its size. There's an optional third shelf available, though this requires 712mm of internal cabinet height when positioned at the top, or works within the standard height when placed lower down.
Build Quality
The steel frame is robust and the Blum soft-close mechanism is reliable and smooth. The LIRO shelf system has an interesting design feature where any 6mm thick material could theoretically be used as shelf surfaces, though this would be a custom modification rather than a standard option.
If you have one of those frustrating narrow gaps in your kitchen layout, this pull-out makes practical use of space that would otherwise be difficult to access effectively.
