In the present
Modern kitchens
A modern statement with impact, designed and organised around individual needs, habits and available space.
Form, function and ergonomics
The archived collection brought together precision-manufactured British and German furniture with a broad choice of sizes, features and finishes. Layouts ranged from small rooms to generous family spaces and more exclusive design statements.
The guiding idea was that the perfect kitchen should match the needs and habits of the people using it. High-gloss, satin and textured wood finishes gave broad design freedom, while integrated appliances, carefully planned storage and clean junctions kept the room practical for cooking and living.
Each scheme could be tailored to personal taste in a choreography of form, function and ergonomics. The result was intended to feel precise, versatile and contemporary without losing the individuality of the home.
