For many people, building or buying a new home in tropical Thailand is a dream come true.  Bringing that dream into reality can be challenging, a mixture of excitement and frustration. If your desire is to make the kitchen the centrepiece of your dream home or you just need some inspiration, a visit to RS Venture could just be the solution you are seeking.

An Expression of Creativity

The owner of the company, Spanish native Rafael Veiga shares the philosophy of many others when it comes to kitchens.  He feels very passionately that, “your kitchen is the heart of your home.” This passion for such a place in the home appears to have side stepped many modern Thai interior designers, but it’s niche that bespoke kitchen supplier and designer RS Venture has comfortably filled.

To this end, RS Venture firmly believes that your kitchen is an expression of your creativity, a focal point for living and should of course add financial value to your home. Therefore their commitment is to provide not only stylish, superior quality branded kitchen products, but also a personalised customer-led service, from design to installation. RS Venture pride themselves on the fact that Rafael personally meets all his customers, is sensitive to their needs and this, along with his attention to detail he feels inspires confidence in his service and products. And given the growing success of this company, his many satisfied customers clearly share his philosophy.

Fusing Aesthetics with Technology

Founded in 2003 the company has become a reference point for the kitchen sector largely due to its commitment to combine the aesthetically pleasing with innovative technology. RS Venture have selected to stock three international brands that offer the confidence of their reputations in the industry, marking them out as second-to-none in their areas of expertise.

Signature: Simple and Practical yet very Pleasing

Signature from Malaysia, incorporate a wide selection of cabinets and a comprehensive selection of door materials including traditional, solid wood and the popular high-gloss glass.  Whilst a variety of colours are available, white and graphite remain firm favourites. This range features door handles and traditional shelving facilities and is completed by long lasting and abrasion-resistant quartz and marble surfaces supplied by Compaq. A one-year warranty is provided. The time it takes from design to installation is approximately 8 weeks.

Alno: Multi Award Winning with an Unshakable Reputation

German designers Alno really spoil you for choice.  If you prefer a sleek, modern feel to your kitchen, the handleless combination with aluminium frames and high-gloss, lacquered glass doors for a brilliant mirrored effect, would be an excellent choice. The classic kitchen with solid wood frames and panels would suit a more traditional taste. All kitchens draw on the latest space-saving technology for economic and functional storage, blending subtle stylish touches with the practical such as the sliding glass doors. Another emphasis is on creative lighting to deliver bright open kitchens. Again this quality kitchen brand is finished with quartz or marble surfaces from Compaq. A 3-year warranty is supplied. Turnaround from design to installation is approximately 3 months.

Valcucine: Distinctly Modern and Breathtakingly Beautiful

Rafael’s Piece de Resistance is Valcucine, a top-notch Italian designed kitchen range.  Innovative features are the “soft touch” opening and closing mechanisms on the doors and the inventive storage abilities. Its product range is such that you can create as complex or minimalist a kitchen environment as you require. Again Compaq quartz or marble surfaces complete these inspiring kitchen ranges. Implicit in the mission statement of this particular company is a commitment to sound ecological principles.  To this end it supports Bio forest, “the Association for the Regeneration of Natural Environments” and uses recycled wood in the kitchen cabinet construction. Warranty is for 5 years and turnaround is 4 months.

Finishing Touches

RS Venture echoes their guarantee of quality by dressing their kitchens with prestigious reliable brands including Siemens, Smeg, Viking and Gaggenau. Such appliances ensure long-term top-end performance and ultimately consistent customer satisfaction.
