In modern kitchen planning, flexibility and clean lines are becoming more important. The Salice Exedra2 is a double pocket door system that helps maximize space in kitchens and other living areas. Its smooth, cam-assisted mechanism lets two linked doors slide back into a pocket, disappearing from view and leaving the space open and clutter-free.
Unlike traditional hinged or sliding doors, pocket door systems like the Exedra2 create a seamless look. When closed, they look like regular cabinet or closet doors. When open, they vanish, giving you full access without door swings or visual barriers.
Pocket Doors for Small Kitchens and Open Layouts
The Exedra2’s smart design makes it particularly helpful in smaller kitchens or open layouts. Traditional cabinet doors take up valuable clearance space when open. Pocket doors eliminate that issue, allowing you to move freely in tight spaces and keep pathways clear.
Quiet Operation and Easy Access
The system uses a cam-assisted opening that balances the weight of the doors, so they open with minimal effort—even larger doors. The integrated handle at the door edge feels natural in daily use, and a cushioned closing motion avoids banging or rattling.

Exedra2 Star and Smart: Two Versions for Different Needs
There are two versions of the Exedra2:
- Exedra2 Star: The mechanism is hidden by a cover panel for a clean, uninterrupted look.
Smooth sliding mechanism for easy access.
Doors disappear into the wall for a fully open space.
- Exedra2 Smart: The door edges are visible when folded back, but the system needs less cabinet depth to install.

Benefits of the Salice Exedra2 Pocket Door System
- No floor tracks needed, which keeps floors clear and uninterrupted.
- Handles daily use well, with a design that’s made for real kitchens and real storage needs.
- Versatile for kitchen cabinets, pantries, laundry rooms, or to hide appliances when not in use.
- Helps maintain an uncluttered look in open-plan kitchens.
Balanced opening motion for taller or wider doors.
Possible Drawbacks and Considerations
- The system needs to be integrated early in the design process—it’s not a retrofit or DIY update.
- It only works on straight cabinet runs, not for angled or curved layouts.
- Because it’s built into the cabinetry, you’ll need a kitchen designer and professional installation.
Why a Pocket Door Can Be the Right Choice
In homes with a lot going on—kids, entertaining, or just the daily flow of life—a pocket door system can make the kitchen feel calmer and more flexible. It’s a detail that doesn’t draw attention to itself, but can make the entire room feel easier to use.

Kitchenfinder Thoughts
The Salice Exedra2 is a system that needs planning, not a quick add-on. It’s best for homeowners who want a kitchen that feels adaptable and integrated. If you’re working with a kitchen designer or builder, it’s worth asking about this kind of system early in the process. While it might not be the first thing you notice, it can make a real difference in how the kitchen feels day to day.
