Häfele’s Islene Modular Aluminium Profile for Kitchen Islands

13 Jun 2025 CW Team

Kitchen islands enhance both the functionality and visual appeal of modern homes by expanding usable space and offering convenient, accessible worktops. Häfele’s latest innovation, the Islene Island System, transforms kitchen islands into modular, design-forward elements.

Crafted with a sleek aluminium profile, Islene enables the creation of unique island designs by combining various surfaces such as stone, wood, or glass. The system’s clean geometry and elevated structure not only provide a floating effect for visual lightness but also allow easy cleaning underneath, making it ideal for minimalist interiors.

Islene delivers both flexibility and functionality, making it suitable not just for kitchen islands but also for creating contemporary desks, cabinets, and coffee tables. Its clutter-free construction ensures seamless integration into modern spaces.

Easy to assemble with minimal components, the system is designed for fast and efficient installation. The premium black finish of the profiles pairs elegantly with a wide variety of surface materials, delivering refined aesthetics and long-lasting appeal.

With Islene, Häfele sets new standards in modular furniture construction—offering architects, designers, and homeowners the freedom to create multifunctional, statement pieces.
