Platform about design and technology in the kitchen, home, and bathroom industry
During Küchenmeile 2026, Gut Böckel will once again be a key destination for kitchen professionals. In September, the historic estate in Rödinghausen will serve as the stunning backdrop for presentations by various well-known brands. Companies including Keller Keukens, Jetstone, Beko, Franke, berbel, and Miele will showcase the developments and innovations they have in store for the upcoming kitchen season.
Gut Böckel has been a part of the Küchenmeile for more than twenty years now. The historic buildings and charming surroundings give the presentations a completely different character than a traditional trade show booth. Ultimately, of course, what matters most during the trade show is what’s on display inside. And there will be plenty to discover at Küchenmeile 2026.
Keller Kitchens and Jetstone are once again exhibiting together at Gut Böckel. This year, Keller has chosen the theme ‘The Art of Combining’ and is bringing several specific new products to Germany.
A major highlight is the biobased kitchen concept enduura® elba. The design was awarded a Red Dot: Best of the Best 2026 this year in the Design Concept category. According to Keller, this makes parent company DKG the first Dutch kitchen manufacturer to receive this award.
At the same time, the biobased product line is being significantly expanded. As of July 1, seventeen colors are available, compared to four previously. As of January 2027, another seven colors will be added, bringing the total selection to 24 colors. This way, the choice of biobased materials is combined with ever-greater design freedom.
Keller is also expanding its offerings in other areas. The glass fronts will be available with frames in nine colors, and new types of glass will be added. In addition, Keller is introducing round knobs with a wood-look finish that complement the Ithaca series. This responds to the trend toward softer, organic shapes and natural materials. Furthermore, various updates in the areas of colors, cabinets, and materials will be on display during the Küchenmeile.
Jetstone’s countertops embody ‘The Art of Combining.’ At Gut Böckel, the countertop specialist demonstrates how material, color, shape, and finish can contribute to the overall kitchen design. Jetstone is also bringing several new products to Küchenmeile 2026. These will be covered in detail later in this magazine in Jetstone’s own feature.
For Franke and berbel, Küchenmeile 2026 marks the start of a new chapter. The two brands will be showcasing their products at Gut Böckel in a shared, completely renovated showroom, while each retains its own brand identity. Even after Küchenmeile, the location will continue to be used for purposes such as inspiration, knowledge exchange, and training.
One of the innovations Franke is highlighting is the Mythos Water Hub. This 6-in-1 water solution combines hot, cold, instant boiling, chilled, filtered, and sparkling water in a single faucet. The compact, all-in-one system is installed entirely under the sink and features LED indicators and app control. This year, the collection has been expanded to include four design colors: Gold, Copper, Anthracite, and Matt Black.
Elsewhere in the presentation, the combination of functionality and design also plays an important role. Colored boiling-water faucets are paired with sinks and accessories thanks to the Mix & Match concept. The Fragranite collection, which includes the color Coffee Cream, is also given a prominent place. In the area of stainless steel, new sink solutions are also on display, with a focus on multifunctional applications.
berbel complements the joint showroom with its expertise in ventilation and air quality. This ventilation specialist is joining from area30, where it has been based for many years. A key feature is the patented berbel principle, which uses centrifugal force to separate grease particles from the extracted air without the need for traditional grease filters. During Küchenmeile 2026, berbel will showcase its latest products, technologies, and solutions at Gut Böckel.
Moreover, the joint showroom is more than just a showcase for the trade show week. An Academy will play a central role there in providing training and sharing knowledge about products, systems, and technology. As a result, the new location is intended to become a permanent meeting place for the trade even after Küchenmeile.
Miele will be bringing several new products to Küchenmeile 2026, which will have made their debut shortly before that at IFA in Berlin. Among other things, the manufacturer is expanding its lineup of cooktops and range hood solutions, with a focus not only on new technology but also on color and a variety of kitchen sizes.
Pearl Beige remains popular and is one of the standout colors. The KM 8684 FL PEBE brings this shade to the premium KM 8000 series and features M Sense. With this technology, cookware and the cooktop communicate with each other, allowing the power to be automatically adjusted to the cooking process.
Miele also has news for smaller kitchens. The new KMDA 5649 is the first model to combine an induction cooktop and an integrated range hood within a 60-centimeter width. The model will be available starting in October 2026. In addition, M Sense will also be available for cooktops with integrated range hoods from the 8000 series.
Miele is also expanding its range of range hood solutions. New integrated glass-panel range hoods are designed to offer greater freedom in kitchen design, while the Mattschwarz finish will be available on more models. As a result, this year’s Küchenmeile news from Miele isn’t just about new technology, but also about more options for coordinating the cooktop and range hood with the available space and kitchen design.
BLANCO, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, is also bringing new products to Küchenmeile 2026. With the new BLANCO OOVALON/LUNEOO UNIT, winner of a Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026, the manufacturer is responding to the trend toward rounded and organic shapes. OOVALON is the first oval sink in the lineup and is made from the new composite material VELGRANIT, which features a distinctive velvety-soft texture. The sink is available in Mystic Black and Cloudy White. The LUNEOO faucet complements the award-winning UNIT and stands out for its sleek design. This way, material, design, and functionality come together around the sink area.
Beko will also be present at Gut Böckel during Küchenmeile 2026. The brand is using the trade show to introduce specialty retailers to the latest developments and innovations in its kitchen product line. Technology, efficiency, and ease of use play a key role in this. In this preview, we’re intentionally keeping it brief. Further on in this magazine, you can read more about Beko, including a detailed look at the new products being showcased at Küchenmeile.
With Keller Kitchens, Jetstone, Franke, berbel, Miele, Blanco, and Beko, Gut Böckel will bring together various sectors of the kitchen industry at Küchenmeile 2026. From kitchen cabinets and countertops to water solutions, ventilation, and smart appliances: the participating brands have plenty of new products in store.
The historic Gut Böckel provides a unique setting, but ultimately it is the presentations by the participating brands that will prompt culinary professionals to include the venue on their itinerary again during Küchenmeile 2026.
