Precision-crafted 304 stainless steel cabinetry from the Fadior atelier — each piece drawn for a specific room and a specific way of living.
Whole-home cabinetry systems made in Foshan since 1999, shipped to private residences across Asia, Europe, and the Gulf.
Fadior builds 304 stainless steel cabinetry for the whole home, with 265+ pieces across 65 design languages. The range covers kitchens, wardrobes, bathroom vanities, living-room storage, entryways, wall panels, interior doors and outdoor kitchens. Cabinet bodies use AISI 304 instead of wood-composite substrates, coordinating room-by-room systems from a Foshan manufacturer.
Fadior specifies AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel for cabinet bodies, not MDF, plywood, particle board or wood-composite. The metal body does not absorb moisture like wood-based board, and with Fadior's glue-free construction the 304 stainless steel cabinet body is formaldehyde-free; doors, finishes, countertops and hardware follow their own specifications. The company records 213 cumulative patents. Suitability for a given room or exposure depends on the full configuration, finish and installation.
Each piece is drawn around the room it serves. A kitchen is solved as a kitchen — heat, water, weight, daily use. A wardrobe as a wardrobe — proportion, hand, light. The result is cabinetry that reads as architecture, not as furniture lined against a wall.
304 stainless steel as a single material logic, carried across kitchen, wardrobe, vanity, panel, and outdoor systems. The material does not change; only the room does.
Find your high-end kitchen direction in Fadior’s coordinated series: disciplined proportions, expressive curves or residential warmth. European-style is a design direction; Fadior manufactures the cabinetry in China with 304 stainless steel cabinet bodies.
Compare each series using the same room plan and appliance list, then select finish samples for your project.
| Kitchen series | Design direction | Selection question |
|---|---|---|
| Abyss | Depth, disciplined light and functional proportions | How will the cabinet volumes and lighting fit the room? |
| Atelier | Curves that contain function | Where will curved forms meet storage and circulation? |
| Dream Home | Calm residential warmth and precision joinery | How will the door finish and worktop coordinate with the interior? |
Choose the door finish, handle treatment, worktop and lighting that bring your preferred series into the room. The kitchen buying guide turns that direction into cabinet quantities, appliance integration and a quotation.
European-style describes the kitchen’s proportions, door expression and coordinated finishes. Fadior manufactures the cabinetry in China around 304 stainless steel cabinet bodies, with the selected doors, worktop and hardware.
Use the kitchen buying guide to specify the cabinet schedule, appliances, hardware and quotation. Collections helps you choose the series and visual direction.
Specify the counter-to-cabinet junction as a factory stainless return where the stone worktop stops so a factory can quote the same 304 module more than once.
Specify the wet edge as named sink, dishwasher and end-panel modules so a factory can quote the same 304 stainless sink run more than once.
Specify the tall wall as named pantry, appliance and end-panel modules so a factory can quote the same 304 stainless housing run more than once.
Specify the outdoor kitchen as named door, appliance and storage modules so a factory can quote the same 304 stainless run more than once.
Specify the island as named seating, storage and end modules so a factory can quote the same 304 stainless island more than once.
Specify whether the 304 stainless steel run stays a visible steel statement or recedes behind clad appliance faces.
A 304 stainless steel tall run specified as furniture-grade door planes, not a row of small cabinet lids.
A 304 stainless steel kitchen where the cabinet body and worktop decision begin with one clear datum.
A Riviera cooking zone that brings cookware compatibility and cabinet planning into the same early conversation.
A custom kitchen that turns the first planning conversation into a measured route toward a resolved room.
A custom balcony worktop that gives outdoor preparation, selected devices and closed storage one measured exterior rhythm.
A custom kitchen worktop that keeps appliance, sensor and daily-prep decisions visible before the room is finalized.
A custom wine wall that gives display, storage and finish decisions a clearer route from the first sample to the finished home.
A composed custom kitchen that gives storage, finishes and daily movement a clear place before the room is built.
A composed wardrobe wall that makes daily dressing feel quieter, clearer and easier to live with.
A quiet, tailored kitchen where a flush pantry wall keeps the room composed from the first step inside.
A composed wardrobe wall that gives the transition from bedroom to dressing space a clear, calm purpose.
A tailored Riviera kitchen that turns daily cooking, family hosting, and a considered 304 stainless steel specification into one composed service core.
A composed interior door that gives the route between private rooms and shared living areas a calm, deliberate rhythm.
A composed kitchen work zone that helps owners assess sink placement, counter continuity, cabinet alignment, and clean-up flow before the layout is fixed.
Fadior manufactures 304 stainless steel cabinetry for kitchens, wardrobes, vanities, living rooms, and outdoor systems — backed by an 80,000+ sqm Industry 4.0 smart factory in Foshan, China, and stainless steel manufacturing roots dating to 1999. Every cabinet body is formed from the same AISI 304 austenitic chromium-nickel alloy, rated for residential use across wet zones, high-humidity rooms, and coastal climates. The catalogue covers 265+ individual pieces across 65 named design languages.
Fadior traces its stainless steel manufacturing roots to Foshan in 1999 and now operates an 80,000+ sqm Industry 4.0 smart factory in Shunde, supported by a 600M RMB investment and 200,000+ annual unit capacity. The current production model includes five lines covering sheet metal, profiles, hardware, outsourced specialty processes, and installation hardware. Fadior has 600+ franchise stores and dealer points across 300+ Chinese cities, exports to 50+ countries and regions, and works with 100+ international partners. Its authority is reinforced by standards work: the company was principal drafter of China's national stainless steel kitchen cabinet technical specification and co-drafter of the QB/T 5973-2024 green factory standard. Awards include ADEX Platinum and Milan Expo 2015 designated cabinet brand. These proof points make the catalogue more than a style gallery: it is tied to a manufacturer with scale, standards participation, and export history.
304 stainless steel cabinetry uses AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel — an alloy of 18.0–20.0% chromium and 8.0–10.5% nickel — as the structural cabinet body rather than a wood-composite core. Chromium supports a passive oxide layer, but that general material behavior is not proof that a complete cabinet is rust-proof or suitable for every kitchen, bathroom, or coastal exposure. Grade, fabrication, finish, interfaces, installation, exposure, and maintenance must be reviewed for the selected configuration.
The Fadior system can take this cabinet-body material logic across kitchens, wardrobes, bathroom vanities, and selected outdoor modules. The result is a structural specification decision rather than a universal performance claim. Fadior states a 30-year cabinet-body structural warranty, with specific terms subject to the contract; the warranty is not a measured service-life result for the complete room. Read the underlying 304 stainless steel material guide for the full metallurgy.
Compared with MDF-core cabinetry, 304 stainless steel does not absorb moisture like wood-based board. Fadior's glue-free 304 stainless steel cabinet body is formaldehyde-free; other components follow their own specifications. Replacement timing and cost of ownership depend on the selected system, installation, use, maintenance and contract.
The Fadior catalogue organizes 265 individual cabinet pieces across 65 named design language collections. Each design language (Solace, Terrena, Grotto, Atelier, Lumiere, Voyage, and 59 others) is a coherent visual system — a named combination of surface treatment, proportion, hardware, and finish tone that can be specified room-by-room or whole-home from a single manufacturer.
Kitchen collections include Continuum, Terrena, and Solace as distinct design directions. Body thickness, finish, hardware, exposure limits, and any salt-spray conclusion must be confirmed against the selected configuration and its supporting documents.
Wardrobe collections — Onyx, Lumiere, and Elementum — bring the same 304 cabinet-body direction into bedroom and dressing-room contexts. Stainless steel does not absorb moisture like wood-based board, but alignment, finish, hardware, installation, climate suitability, and service life remain configuration-specific and require supporting documents.
Vanity and bath collections such as Voyage, Verve, and Solstice use a 304 stainless steel cabinet-body direction. Wet-area suitability depends on the complete cabinet face, finish, countertop, hardware, seals, interfaces, installation, ventilation, exposure, and maintenance; no universal direct-water or splash rating is stated here.
The Fadior scope extends to living room media walls, entryway systems, and selected outdoor cabinet modules for balconies and covered terraces. Outdoor and coastal suitability must be specified against chloride exposure, grade, fabrication, finish, hardware, detailing, installation, cleaning, and maintenance.
MDF, plywood, and other wood-based cabinet cores use different resins, grades, finishes, and certifications. Moisture, heat, load, fabrication, installation, and maintenance can affect each system differently, so emissions and durability conclusions must be tied to the selected board or cabinet documentation rather than inferred from a material label alone.
| Property | 304 Stainless Steel | MDF Core | Plywood Core |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moisture resistance | Does not absorb moisture like wood-based board; assembly-specific | Confirm selected board, finish, edges, and test data | Confirm selected panel, finish, edges, and test data |
| Formaldehyde emission | Glue-free 304 cabinet body: formaldehyde-free | Depends on selected board and certification | Depends on selected panel and certification |
| Hardness | Confirm selected face and finish test data | Confirm selected face and finish test data | Confirm selected face and finish test data |
| Coastal suitability | Project-specific grade, finish, detailing, and maintenance | Product- and project-specific | Product- and project-specific |
| Lifespan (residential) | No universal lifespan; contract-specific cabinet-body warranty | No universal lifespan | No universal lifespan |
| Recyclable at end of life | Yes (steel scrap) | No | Partial |
Kitchen face performance depends on the selected substrate and complete finish system. Hardness, scratch, stain, and wear conclusions require the applicable test method and sample; they cannot be inferred from a generic comparison. Fadior options include PVD satin finishes and powder coat — sits over this 304 body, never below it.
Fadior has manufactured stainless steel cabinetry in Foshan, Guangdong Province since 1999. Its current smart factory covers 80,000+ sqm across nine floors, represents a 600M RMB investment, and is designed for 200,000+ annual cabinet unit capacity. The production model is organized across five lines: sheet metal, profiles, hardware, outsourced specialty processes, and installation hardware. Cold-rolled coil stock is sourced from audited mills with certificates verifying ladle analysis within nominal 304 composition.
Quality control is backed by ISO 9001 certification, component-level production tracking, and standards work that reaches beyond the factory: Fadior was principal drafter of China's national stainless steel kitchen cabinet technical specification and co-drafter of the QB/T 5973-2024 green factory standard. The company supplies residential and trade projects across 50+ countries and regions, with market focus in China, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Australia, the United States, and Western Europe. Architects and interior designers working on high-specification residential projects can access the Fadior Trade Program for project pricing, technical drawings, and material sample packs.
A complete 304 stainless steel kitchen from Fadior — including cabinet bodies, drawer systems, hinges, and your choice of surface treatment — typically ranges from $45,000 to $180,000 USD depending on room size, design language, and finish selection. A single-bathroom vanity suite starts from approximately $8,000 USD. Whole-home packages (kitchen + wardrobes + vanities) for luxury residences typically fall between $150,000 and $600,000 USD.
These figures reflect the factory-direct pricing model: Fadior manufactures, specifies, and ships direct to project without distributor margins. Comparable custom stainless cabinetry sourced through North American trade distributors typically carries a 40–60% markup above the same factory-direct origin price. Consultation and specification are available at no fee for trade clients; consumer inquiries are quoted on project scope after a brief consultation call.
The most common assumption is that stainless steel cabinetry means “commercial kitchen” — stainless restaurant tables, institutional shelving, the visible back-of-house aesthetic. That is a 1990s reference point. Contemporary stainless cabinetry looks nothing like that. PVD satin finishes, powder-coat color systems, wood-grain surface films, embossed textures, and micro-grain matte treatments make 304 stainless cabinetry read warmer, softer, and more residential than any photograph of a canteen would suggest.
Scratch visibility depends on the exposed surface, finish, color, texture, cleaning, and use. Many Fadior configurations place a PVD or powder-coat finish over the 304 body, while exposed brushed steel has a different care profile. Confirm scratch and wear conclusions against finish-specific documentation and an approved sample.
Cleaning and maintenance also depend on the selected finish and contaminant. Follow the applicable care document and approved cleaner rather than assuming every stainless steel or coated surface tolerates the same agents.
Fadior's project library contains residential and hospitality records associated with markets including Dubai, Sydney, Milan, Mumbai, and Los Angeles. Each record must be read with its displayed stage: a design study, a delivery-unverified reference, or a record classified as completed; no stage value alone verifies delivery or performance. Project case studies with photography, specification sheets, and material selections are available in the Projects section of this site.
Interior designers and architects can compare design directions such as Grotto and Atelier through the collection pages, then review the Journal for technical breakdowns of recent installations and the Materials & Craft index for finish-by-finish specification notes.
No material grade should be described as universally rust-proof in coastal use. AISI 304 forms a chromium-rich passive layer, but actual suitability depends on chloride exposure, grade, fabrication, finish, crevices, interfaces, installation, cleaning, and maintenance. More chloride-resistant grades or project-specific measures may be required; use the supporting documents for the selected configuration.
A complete Fadior kitchen — cabinet bodies, drawer systems, hardware, and surface treatment — typically ranges from $45,000 to $180,000 USD. Pricing depends on room size, design language selection, and finish system. Whole-home packages including kitchen, wardrobes, and bathrooms typically range from $150,000 to $600,000 USD for luxury residential specifications. Fadior sells factory-direct from Foshan with no distributor markup.
201 and 304 stainless steel have different nominal alloy compositions and can behave differently under chloride exposure. Fadior specifies AISI 304 for cabinet bodies. The project team should verify the mill certificate, fabrication, finish, interfaces, exposure, and maintenance for the selected configuration rather than treating a grade name as universal wet-zone approval.
Fadior publishes PVD directions, 80+ powder-coat colors, wood-grain transfer, and textured finish options. Availability, substrate preparation, color matching, minimum batches, exposure limits, cleaning, and performance must be confirmed for the selected finish and order.
Fadior states a 30-year cabinet-body structural warranty, with specific coverage, exclusions, maintenance duties, and terms subject to the contract. That warranty is not a measured universal service-life result for the complete cabinet, finish, hardware, countertop, or installation.
Yes, within that defined scope. The glue-free 304 stainless steel cabinet body contains no wood-based board or adhesive binder and is formaldehyde-free. Doors, finishes, countertops, hardware and other components follow their own material specifications and supporting documents; this statement does not claim a certification or result for the complete room assembly.
Yes. Fadior manufactures in Foshan, Guangdong and ships direct to 50+ countries and regions including the United States, Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane), and the GCC (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh). Lead time from confirmed specification to factory dispatch is 45–60 days. Door-to-site transit is 18–28 days depending on destination. Trade clients receive priority scheduling and access to sample packs before confirming full project orders.
Architects, interior designers, and developers specifying cabinetry for residential and hospitality projects can access the Fadior Trade Program for project pricing, technical drawings, material sample packs, and priority scheduling. Homeowners and private clients can book a specification consultation to walk through design language selection, finish combinations, and budget framing for a whole-home or single-room project. Showroom visits are available in Foshan, with appointment-based finish reviews. Visit the showroom page for current locations and booking.
