Innovation that makes everyday life easier

18 August 2026

Modern kitchens impress not solely through their design. Intelligent functions, well-thought-out technologies and solutions that make everyday life more comfortable and efficient characterise today's kitchen. Innovation shows itself where it supports people – unobtrusively, practically and sustainably.
What answers the member companies of the KM Küchenmeile from 19th to 25th September 2026 The following examples demonstrate these requirements. They illustrate how functional innovations expand the possibilities of modern kitchen planning and often make the added value of a kitchen visible only at second glance.

BECKERMANN KITCHENS
Comfort from every perspective
Thoughtful features prove their worth in daily use. The double-sided kitchen island with a serving hatch, intelligently planned storage solutions, and the seamless transition to the living area combine comfort, freedom of movement, and architectural clarity to create a living space that noticeably simplifies everyday life.

BERBEL
Intelligently control the temperature
With its new showroom at Gut Böckel, berbel is also represented as a supporting member of the KM Küchenmeile for the first time. The focus includes the Clever Cook functions for the Downline Infinity Pro and the Downline Advance. Five programmes for boiling water, steaming, keeping warm, pasta and frying control the temperature and process, reducing the need for monitoring. They thus support comfortable cooking and reliable results.

BRIGITTE KITCHENS
Calm design, clear processes
Functional kitchens are created through the interplay of design and well-thought-out planning. Clear lines, generous work areas and harmoniously coordinated materials create an environment that provides guidance and supports daily workflows. In this way, Brigitte Küchen combines contemporary design with a high degree of everyday practicality.

BURGER
Seamless workflows
Modern kitchens are created from the analysis of their use. Generous work surfaces, logically structured functional areas and short distances support various activities and create the basis for efficient processes. Burger combines these planning requirements with a design in which function and form seamlessly intertwine.

IMPULS KITCHENS
Background comfort
Utility rooms are increasingly developing into functional organisational centres of the home. Intelligent storage solutions, integrated waste systems and space for automated household helpers create short distances and structured workflows. This creates a work area that unobtrusively supports everyday life and makes comfort second nature.

KH SYSTEM FURNITURE
Architecture in space
The quality of modern interior design concepts is increasingly demonstrated by their ability to structure spaces without sacrificing their openness. Zoning furniture elements combine storage space, work areas and living functions into an architectural entity. This creates planning solutions that do not divide the room, but rather make it usable in a differentiated way.

LIGHT
Maximising space intelligently
With rising demands for spatial efficiency, solutions that consistently activate existing spatial resources are coming into focus. The walk-in corner unit unlocks previously unused areas as fully functional storage space, while the pull-down shelf provides additional work surface precisely where it is needed on a situational basis. This creates planning approaches that combine functionality and architectural clarity into a cohesive overall concept.

NEXT125
Light that defines spaces
Lighting performs far more than a functional role in the kitchen. It structures spaces, emphasises architectural lines and creates different moods. With LumiQ, next125 combines modern technology and high-quality light with a coordinated system. In this way, light becomes an integral part of kitchen design, illuminating work areas precisely while simultaneously supporting the spatial impact of the architecture.

NOBILIA
When movement creates order
Innovative furniture systems open up new possibilities in kitchen design. Rotating elements create a fluid transition between openness and restraint, integrating functions wherever they are needed. With the integrated FurnSpin system, nobilia demonstrates how mobility, storage utilisation and a calm design can be combined into a seamless planning concept.

PRONORM
Interiors with a system
Smart storage solutions unleash their added value where function and design intertwine. With proTech X, pronorm combines precise runner technology, flexible interior organisation and diverse material worlds into a cohesive drawer system. The result is an interior that adapts flexibly to different living situations.

SAXONY KITCHENS
dimension of adaptation
The quality of modern kitchen design is increasingly measured by its ability to adapt to different requirements. Height-adjustable work areas create ergonomic flexibility without compromising design clarity. With the Ergomatic island, Sachsenküchen integrates this form of adaptive design into a cohesive kitchen concept in which function and architecture form a compelling unity.

SCHRÖDER KITCHENS
Open to new features
With the increasing fusion of kitchen and living space, the demand for flexible usage concepts is growing. Pocket-door solutions make it possible to provide functional areas as needed and then fully integrate them back into the furniture design. Schröder Küchen demonstrates how this form of planning can be combined with a calm, seamless aesthetic.

V-ZUG
Technology in its purest form
Innovations unfold their greatest added value where they extend the planning process without taking centre stage in terms of design. Flexible induction surfaces create new freedom for kitchen planning and enable intuitive use without fixed cooking zones. With the CookTop V6000 FullFlex, V-ZUG combines this technological development with a precise, minimalist design language.

The Art of Omission

Following the merging of kitchen and living space, design itself moves more into focus. Quiet colour palettes, warm natural tones and carefully coordinated materials are taking the place of striking contrasts. Matte surfaces and fine relief and grooved textures lend the kitchens depth without breaking the calm overall effect.
