TIDE: Italian Craftsmanship Driven By Vision

Kitchen designs aren’t just about aesthetics; they’re blueprints for nourishing the soul of a home. It’s where we craft moments of togetherness, flavours of memories, and the heartbeats of our everyday life.

Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, TIDE was established in March of 1990. TIDE is short for The Italian Design Experience Group, established with the vision of importing Italian kitchens of the highest quality and offering the South African market a complete kitchen solution from design to installation. Let’s take a closer look at TIDE’s offerings today…

Composit

Composit is one of the most exquisite brands featured by TIDE. Since 1960 with Belligotti brand name and later in 1974 with Composit brand name, Belligotti family has improved its “know-how” and has transformed its love for raw materials and passion for hand craftsmanship into an industrial business. The passion which successfully continues today is focused on a brand new global scenario where the brand is fully involved, resulting in an internationally renowned name in Italian cabinetry and craftsmanship.

Composit’s kitchens are designed as functional solutions with great aesthetic impact to satisfy every taste and style. Discover a line of modern kitchens to customize and choose, among the modern or traditional models, the one most suitable for your demand.

Thanks to its long history in kitchens, Composit continues its innovative research to create fitted kitchens characterized by great attention to detail, quality materials, and superior construction. The aim is the creation of kitchens made in Italy in every shape and style: linear kitchens, corner kitchens, round kitchens, modern or classic – each to meet the customer’s unique tastes.

The most popular ranges include:

Linea HD

The door which enhances every detail…

Modern and sophisticated, the Linea HD – High Doors – modernises its kitchen appearance hiding the plinth completely, thanks to a high door which is set only 2 cm from the floor. The layout and the chromatic selection of the entire composition produce an elegant design with great innovation. HD is available for the Touch and Lounge model (horizontal handle).

TOUCH

A refined and essential made-in-Italy kitchen design by P. G. Cazzaniga. Touch kitchen by Composit is a linear or island kitchen that amazes for its refinement, original design and independent style. To combine and subtract, to rediscover the essence of things, this is the slogan of Touch. The result is a modern and essential kitchen, perfect to be placed in any suitable environment, but also in contrast with furniture of other periods and styles. Coplanar doors, monobloc kitchens, intersecting tops with convex corners, and material continuity, are just some of the expressive possibilities of Touch kitchens: tailor-made kitchens with a unique style!

Linea Pure

The linear Composit kitchen without handles is designed by Delta Studio. Linea Pure wall hung is a contemporary project that offers innovative solutions and original aesthetic choices. Linea by Composit is a modern Italian kitchen with an essential design, which is distinguished by the absence of handles and openings utilizing a profile. The smooth surfaces are interrupted by horizontal and vertical cuts, proposed in the wide Composit lacquer colours range. A modular kitchen that is striking and complete.

LOUNGE

Lounge is a Composit kitchen combined with the Living system design by Enrico Cesana. As a modern kitchen, Lounge is born from an analysis of the new ways of living in the kitchen. The kitchen is viewed as a privileged place for domestic activities to be occupied all day long; a space to be lived in daily.

Furthermore, it is a modular design kitchen that communicates and connects to the living room and the rest of the house. Ideal for metropolitan spaces, it is among the highest quality Italian kitchens, thanks to the precious solid wood and the most trendy lacquers.
