Keller Kitchens and the Gut Böckel estate are a match made in heaven. True to tradition, the manufacturer settled down in the Haferhaus of the beautiful estate to present its novelties together with Jetstone and Caesarstone during the Küchenmeile.
'Never change a winning team,' they thought at Keller Keukens. So it was that this year the Haferhaus on the Gut Böckel estate was once again the beautiful backdrop for the Bergen op Zoom-based kitchen manufacturer's novelty parade. In the center of the Haferhaus, Keller Keukens once again provided an eye-catcher of a kitchen layout, admittedly less strikingly designed than the previous edition, but certainly so interesting that it generated conversation among the visitors. We saw the connection between kitchen and living space appear, with the new design influences that this brings with it (think Japandi, ed.) and which was thus integrated by Keller into the kitchen arrangements. "For an attractive presentation of our materials, we offer our dealers an updated handle board and a series of presentation cabinets in which mood boards, handles and handle frames can be displayed," adds Geert van Bouchaute of Keller.
In addition to the new POS material, we discovered numerous novelties in the Haferhaus to get the year 2025 off to a good start. That the pantry is an interesting addition to the range, we don't need to explain anymore. In this regard, Keller presented a new idea that, thanks to the use of a new hinge system, allows the door to open inward instead of outward. "Perhaps not the most eye-catching novelty, but certainly an impetus for new ideas," Geert said. "More visible are the colors and decors in the Comfort and Trend Collection that we complement with ribbing, quiet wood decors and a luxury frame front, which allows the creation of various styles. Our Master Collection, focused on trends and styles that last a bit longer, is due for an update next year. The cool gray disappears, warmer gray, headed by the new color Fossil Gray, and earthy tones take its place."
Two years ago, Keller Kitchens introduced its glass cabinet program at the Küchenmeile. A success. This year we saw an expansion to this program with the addition of a glass door in smoked glass with a bronze frame. "A versatile door," Geert emphasizes. "And especially if you combine it with a new matching handle frame."
Perhaps the showpiece of Keller Kitchens' Küchenmeile 2024 was the biobased kitchen enduura®, the result of a research project that took several years. "Biobased means that this kitchen is made without the need for primary raw materials," Geert explains. "So what do we use? Residual streams from agriculture and industry provide us with the necessary building blocks to produce these kitchens. We show it beautifully here in the enduura® setup. We let visitors discover what components they are by means of a few tubes. The basic component of the glue, for example, is sunflower seeds, but wood sawdust and cane sugar are also essential ingredients for making an enduura® kitchen. The result is a kitchen that is completely recyclable but also completely free of volatile organic compounds. The future?"
