Platform about design and technology in the kitchen, home, and bathroom industry
Top brands at Gut Böckel
The historic Gut Böckel estate is a unique trade fair location. From September 21 to 24, it will be redesigned as the beating heart of the kitchen industry during the Küchenmeile. Miele, Whirlpool, Keller Kitchens, SMEG, Jetstone, Caesarstone, Bauknecht and Beko will present their latest innovations, advanced technologies and sustainable solutions there. Also on the program this year is the Benelux evening, on Sunday, September 21.
The Küchenmeile brings kitchen professionals from home and abroad together every year in Löhne, Germany and the surrounding area. At various locations, manufacturers and suppliers display their latest developments and ideas. One of the permanent attractions is Gut Böckel, an estate with historical allure. The authentic buildings and beautifully landscaped gardens form the backdrop where tradition and innovation come together. The latest kitchens, worktops and appliances are presented there. The participating brands invite visitors to learn about bio-based materials, AI-controlled appliances and contemporary design. Keller Kitchens, Caeserstone and Jetstone showcase their vision of sustainability and style while Miele, Whirlpool, SMEG, Bauknecht and Beko introduce their latest kitchen technologies.
Sunday has now become Benelux Day at Gut Böckel. Those who come on Sunday afternoon immediately get a personal tour of the innovations of the participating brands. Representatives from the Benelux are present to explain and answer questions. From 5 p.m., a networking moment with refreshing drinks and culinary dishes from their own kitchens will start. The first conversations about gained inspiration will be held in an informal atmosphere - hopefully under a lovely autumn sunshine. On Sundays, the estate will be open until 9 p.m.; on other days, the brands can be visited from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Miele, Whirlpool, Keller Kitchens, SMEG, Jetstone, Caesarstone, Bauknecht and Beko are once again joining forces to welcome visitors from the Benelux and present their latest products.
Bauknecht introduces a new line of steam ovens, ovens and compact ovens with microwave function. The glossy black design and minimalist styling are in line with contemporary kitchen trends. A high-quality cooking experience was at the center of the development. Examples include intuitive, colorful touchscreens, a generous 52-liter capacity in the compact models, standard functions such as airfryer and pizza mode, and luxury accessories such as a perforated steam tray and a four-point core temperature gauge.
Beko presents new ovens in an all-black design. The Aeroperfect hot air system ensures even cooking of dishes while preserving flavor. The B300 and BPRO500 series are equipped with an AirFry function. Thanks to Split & Cook, two dishes can be prepared simultaneously in separate zones with a temperature difference of up to 80°C. There are also new hobs with integrated extraction and four flexible cooking zones.
Caesarstone, participating in the Küchenmeile for the eighth time, can once again be found in Gut Böckel's Haferhaus, together with Jetstone and Keller Kitchens. This long-term cooperation highlights their shared focus on innovation, quality and design. Among others, Caesarstone will present the new ceramic colors Dolcivio, Fossillia and Crestone, as well as the colors Ocean Sage and Wild Storm from the ICON™ 2025 collection.
Jetstone focuses on innovative shapes such as round miter and rounded corners, which allow design freedom and a softer look. It also highlights Caesarstone's ICON series, a sustainable collection with luxurious looks and lower environmental impact. Keller Kitchens is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year and unpacks with several inspiring styles: the retro-inspired New 70's, the luxurious New Hotel Chic and a sophisticated Japandi style that brings together tranquility, simplicity and clever details.
At Miele, Pearl Beige takes center stage. The latest color for built-in appliances is now available in both handleless and handle versions. Pearl Beige is available within the Generation 7000 ArtLine and VitroLine series. ArtLine is completely handleless and opens with one simple touch. VitroLine offers the same aesthetic, but with a metal handle in the exact same color.
SMEG presents additions to the Linea, Classici and Dolce Stil Novo lines. New models are introduced in current colors such as Neptune Grey and Matt Black. The range of wine climate cabinets has been expanded with models for 21 to 40 bottles, equipped with dual temperature zones and stylish LED lighting. Outdoor cooking also receives attention: SMEG is launching a compact electric built-in barbecue.
Whirlpool shows with the new W Collection Kitchen Suite how intuitive solutions can make everyday life easier. The new combination microwave ovens feature an extra-large turntable (40 cm) and offer Crisp functions on two levels. The compact oven with microwave function and the award-winning 3-in-1 version with steam and integrated water tank attract attention. Large baking ovens come standard with automatic AirFry programs and a High Heat Pizza function up to 310°C. All new appliances are available in the trend colors gray-brown Shiitake and Stardust Matte.
