Nolte at Living Kitchen - IMM Cologne 2019

The international furniture and interiors fair - IMM Cologne is held every year in Germany. This year the biennial event LivingKitchen, which is an international kitchen show and part of the IMM Cologne, sets the stage for all dimensions of the new kitchen world – from kitchen furnishings and built-in appliance to sinks, fittings, worktops, lighting and accessories.

LivingKitchen sets impulses of the holistic kitchen concepts and shows the latest trends. The rich and diverse blend of concepts and product innovations showcased at the event will transform tomorrow's kitchens into a tangible experience.

Trends to watch 

When it comes to colour trends, black is the new white in the kitchen.

Curated food was one of the themes that was explored at the LivingKitchen. The events "Future Technology", "Future Design" and "Future Foodstyles" showcased how our smart technologies simplify stocking or food planning or design cooking to be more mobile and more like an event.
One of the highlights in Future Design was how the kitchen will look in the future – made visible for the visitor via augmented reality.

Veggies are not the only thing that's green - kitchen furniture is getting more eco-friendly and sustainable as well. Not having a garden? Homegrown vegetables are a thing now. Indoor farming makes it possible. Thanks to agrilution, they showcased their plan cube. The compact device will allow the technology of the vertical farm, for home. From Salads to herbs to so-called Micro Greens (e.g. Carrots, broccoli, radishes) are all freshly grown all year round. Modern LED Technology, sensors, automatic irrigation and climate make it possible. By App, the device will report when it can be harvested.

Nolte at Living Kitchen

Every Biennial, Nolte participates in the event showcasing the quality and latest designs.

Smooth surfaces, trendy colours and sleek technology are the key ingredients in a Nolte kitchen.

For Nolte, all good things come in threes: Good intelligent planning, stylish design in materials and smart storage space solutions which are the basic ingredients of a contemporary kitchen.

When functionality meets comfort: Warm accessories with a golden glow and a fusion of kitchen and living room provide for a stylish but also a so cosy atmosphere.

Light is a powerful interior design element and can completely change the atmosphere of a room – and indirect lighting can provide for that special warm glow even in modern and stylish kitchens.

No need to hide: beautiful tableware or accessories deserve a place in the limelight. Open shelves showcase the most treasured pieces in a sophisticated way.

Would you rather live in the kitchen – or cook in the living room? Thanks to Nolte’s modern interior concept, now you can have the best of both worlds.

The Flair Ferro Kitchen - A truly magnetic choice!

If you have a FERRO kitchen, it is quite obvious why your guests are in awe.

A kitchen oozing with flair with its exciting combinations. A real looker you won't find anywhere.

The handleless FLAIR black soft matt combined with the FERRO in unusual corten steel finish combines elegance with comfort and high functionality.

The MatrixArt base units at the end of a row provide practical additional space for keeping smaller-type utensils.

Tall wall cabinets, with integrated appliances and dual storage provide convenient storage space for the smaller things in everyday life.

Clean lines and distinctive details, like the edges in brass look, as well as the illuminated MatrixART finger pulls, heighten the charisma of this impressive kitchen.

The combination with FERRO in Corten steel is the perfect complement, with a matching splashback adding the finishing touch.

A slim horizontal wall cabinet creates novelty in the space, with a bold, open shelving unit in metal and wood.

The open shelf wall units with sliding doors are a practical combination of space saving elements.

Let's say Nolte would call it "The fertile design sophistication of the organic."

For those who want to experience the FLAIR FERRO kitchen, Nolte doors are always open. http://www.nolteindia.com/showrooms

9 Ideas from Top Designers to Create a Unique Kitchen

Your home is a reflection of your personality and so is your kitchen. Whether you’re remodelling or planning a new kitchen, you want to make sure it looks unique. Recently, Architectural Digest asked some of the most renowned designers and architects their favourite ways to create a unique kitchen. Here are their tips and secrets to help you create a truly unique kitchen.

1. Alexa Hampton, one of the most recognised figures in interior designing, says, “White surfaces abound in kitchens because white so happily reveals dirt wherever it appears—a clear benefit for areas where food is prepared. Similarly, blue seems suggestive of cleanliness with its crisp, cheerful tones.”

2. Comfort, serenity, and sophistication sum up the well-known Interior Designer Shawn Henderson's style. Here’s what he had to say: “I think that black-and-white kitchens always make an incredibly chic and strong statement. … I’m also a huge fan of interesting tile or pattern on the floors.”

3. Quintessential New York decorator Jeffrey Bilhuber whose work is an amalgamation of old and new, colourful and quirky says, “The palette can be something from jewel-toned to monochromatic, but I always like to paint the island a contrasting colour from the one used for the perimeter. It reinforces the concept that the island is actual furniture and we’ve moved away from the kitchen being a fully mill worked space.”

4. An international interior design sensation and Atlanta native, Miles Redd, who is now based in NYC is known for his chic and glamour. With his unique aesthetic vision he says, “There is something about a red-and-white kitchen that is always snappy… Food just looks great in white.”

5. Martyn Lawrence Bullard is an internationally acclaimed and a multi award-winning Los Angeles based interior designer. He is well-known for his broad range of styles and eclectic, yet sophisticated and always inviting interiors. His views- “For me, a kitchen should carry as much style and decorative drama as the rest of the house. … Black will pop and create instant glamour and timeless elegance.”

6. Robert Stilin, a highly versatile interior designer whose classically modern work is customised according to the needs of each client and project. Stilin says, “I like the classic simplicity of white cabinetry … mixed with an island designed like a piece of furniture. Then I mix in some metals and warm woods.”

7. Brian Sawyer, an interior designer based in NYC, incorporates both classical and contemporary styles with equally. He believes, “With traditional kitchens we prefer a muted pastel palette in matte and satin finishes. With our modern kitchens, we tend toward monochromatic whites in high gloss and acrylic finishes as well as glass countertops.”

8. Victoria Hagan has earned respect for her intelligent amalgamation of architecture and interior design. Her hallmark lies in compiling classical elements into modern designs. Her design idealogy runs on the lines of materials, sophisticated colour, and strong silhouettes. Hagan says, “I love the feel of a white kitchen. Any shade will do! It can be a painted traditional finish or a more contemporary feel with a high-gloss lacquer or glass. Always classic and inviting.”

9. Kelly Wearstler, the Los Angeles-based interior is known for unanticipated, bold chic design. When it comes to interiors and the luxury lifestyle, Wearstler is one of the world’s top tastemakers and Top Design judge. Her take on approaching colour palette for kitchen is, “Juxtaposing the warm tones of the walls and ceiling with darker, variegated granite countertops and bold geometric floors creates depth and interest.”

Amalgamate two or more ideas from the above and infuse them into your kitchen. Good luck!
