Richelieu Unveils Innovative Open Storage Solutions that Elevate Modern Living Spaces

Stylish, smart and visually striking systems built for open-concept interiors—in the kitchen, living room, closet and beyond—meet the growing demand for modern, functional design


(Montreal, Canada, October 7, 2025) Richelieu Hardware expands its selection of innovative storage solutions with a comprehensive range of new open storage systems.

Designed to meet the evolving needs of modern interiors for both commercial and residential concepts, the new systems redefine open-concept organization. With the rising popularity of open-concept living, designers, architects, builders, and homeowners are seeking flexible, visually appealing solutions that prioritize accessibility, aesthetics and smart space management. From the boutique-inspired VERTIKO storage system and the LOGO III modular closet system to the YOUK ladder-style shelving units and modular LIBERTA system with interchangeable pieces for floor-to-ceiling storage, these new lines speak directly to this trend. 

Traditionally, designers and homeowners have embraced concealed storage to create clean, minimalist spaces. However, today’s design philosophy favors openness, celebrating visible, integrated storage elements that enhance overall aesthetics while delivering practical functionality. Richelieu’s open storage systems offer a new level of design freedom for residential, commercial, and multi-use environments. These innovative hardware solutions are designed to work seamlessly with Richelieu’s extensive line of premium decorative panels, including the Finsa Duo Panel- Roble Aurora 98V. These thermal-fused panels are UV-, scratch-, and impact-resistant. Textured on both sides and requiring no additional finishing, they also feature antibacterial properties that support cleaner, healthier spaces, making them ideal for commercial and high-traffic areas. 

Richelieu’s curated selection of open storage solutions combine the excellence of European design with the versatility and quality the company is known for. The new products include: 

VERTIKO Storage System: Inspired by luxury retail environments, VERTIKO is a customizable walk-in closet and storage solution that brings boutique-level sophistication to any space. With concealed aluminum profiles, the storage elements appear to “float,” offering a clean, modern aesthetic. VERTIKO integrates beautifully into closets, living areas, and pantries, and adds luxury and flexibility to boutiques, showrooms, and hotels. 

LOGO III Modular System: An exceptional versatile open storage system, LOGO III adapts seamlessly to closets, living rooms, entry ways, and more. Its aluminum profiles can be configured for floor-to-ceiling or wall-mounted installations and support a variety of storage elements including closet rods, wooden or glass shelves, and drawer units. Fully customizable and easy to install, LOGO III brings creative ideas to life in virtually any space. 

YOUK Open Shelving Structure: Designed for simplicity and flexibility, the YOUK system provides adaptable open shelving for nearly any interior application. Available in six different configurations, YOUK can be floor-mounted, wall-mounted or combined to meet both functional and aesthetic needs. It brings endless design possibilities to kitchens, pantries, bathrooms, living rooms, offices, and more. 

LIBERTA Modular Open Space Concept: The LIBERTA system embraces the open storage trend with interchangeable components and unlimited configurations. Available in three sleek finishes (Dark Grey, Matte Black, and Satin Aluminum), LIBERTA can be installed floor-to-ceiling to suit any open floor plan and met a wide range of storage needs in both residential and commercial spaces.

Though open storage is on trend, there are times when concealed solutions are preferred. For these cases, Richelieu has introduced new door hardware systems that allow areas like kitchens, offices or laundry rooms to be hidden when needed.  

The Folding CONCEPTA III system supports folding and slide-in doors for kitchens, pantries, closets, and more, enabling maximum flexibility. These systems can make appliances like washers and dryers “disappear” when not in use or neatly close off kitchen spaces when entertaining. 

Additionally, the HAWA Folding CONCEPTA III offers a stylish alternative to traditional side-hinged doors. This pocket door system helps open up floor plans and save space. It features two types of mechanisms (based on door weight and height), includes a soft-close function, and is available in Plain and Black Anodized finishes.
