My first thought on seeing this picture was "wow!," but after giving the matter a little thought, I think it's a bit of a head scratcher. I liked the industrial look of those sliding glass panels. But then I thought, what purpose do they serve? In the debate between open and closed cabinets, the anti-open camp will cite dust and putting unattractive stuff on display. These panels don't seem to block dust or sight! Hmmm.
On the other hand, I spotted this kitchen, with no cabinets either above or below (they're all at the back wall). Now there's an unusual choice! The small kitchen feels very open. And I adore that giant pendant lamp.

Yeah that top picture is arguably not so useful, but... gorgeous. I love the effect. I love the whole kitchen!
LOVE the second one - like the ultimate beach house kitchen. could imagine boiling up lobsters here. i think you're right about the first one, though - those panels look fairly useless upon close inspection.
I know the panels are useless, but they're kinda neato. I guess that effect would wear thin, though.
