Stainless steel,in plain language.
The Fadior journal explains what 304 stainless steel cabinetry does in a room — the material decisions, the dimensional ones, and the questions buyers and architects ask before they specify.
Notes from the Fadior atelier in Foshan, since 1999 — buyer's guides, technical whitepapers, material comparisons, and dispatches from the floor.

Every entry begins with a question and ends as a specification.
What is 304 stainless steel. When does glue-free construction make sense. What does PVD bronze do that brushed stainless cannot. Each entry begins with a question a client asked an architect, a dealer, or a Fadior project lead.
304 stainless steel as a single material logic, carried across kitchen, wardrobe, vanity, and panel systems. The journal explains it room by room.
