ALNO to Unveil New Colours, Finishes and Innovations at KBB 2008
Hall 17, Stand VIP31

The world's second largest kitchen manufacturer, ALNO is set to showcase its latest designs, colours, finishes and innovations at this year's KBB Show. Precision-designed and manufactured at the Company's headquarters in Pfullendorf, Germany, ALNO's new 2008 collection contains much to get excited about, says ALNO's group marketing manager, Anne-Marie Reed.

‘There is a growing trend towards the fusion of the kitchen with the living room and our new products have been specifically designed to help create beautiful yet functional environments that are 'Designed for Living'. Our new colours feature warm, earthy tones as well as intense colours and natural wood grains. New innovations include feature-shelving systems to be used like living room furniture for displaying family treasures. Our aim is to fill our kitchens with variety and lightness through the interplay of different materials and sleek contours, giving our customers a plethora of options to truly be able to create the kitchen of their dreams.’

Highlights
Key finishes for 2008 include high gloss wood grain - a technical spin on nature. ALNOWoodglass and ALNOPur feature dramatic laminate wood grain effects that are finished with glass to create a shine of the highest brilliance. ALNO has also expanded its range of real wood kitchens with ALNOFinn, now available with quartz grey lacquered real-wood framed fronts.

The new colour palette also features new, nature-inspired colours such as bright magnolia white, vibrant glossy coral, warm cocoa and elegant metallic graphite to transform kitchens into places of pure relaxation.

New materials include acrylic that is incredibly hardwearing to ensure gloss and durability for many years to come. The new 120cm wide wall and base units showcase ALNO's intense colours particularly well in addition to creating maximum storage.

Functionality, flexibility and style
Also on display at the KBB Show will be ALNO's new storage solutions. New C-shaped shelving can be colour-coded and freely wall-mounted or can be combined with wall units to create furniture features within the kitchen. Alternatively, new aluminium shelving systems are a delicate, yet high tech way to add storage space that can be designed in countless ways.

New Ranges

ALNOArt Woodglass
The trends for natural woodgrain and highgloss finishes are harmonised in this striking, handleless kitchen design. Featuring clean, sober contours, it comes equipped with glass fronts framed in real aluminium with an option of either rosewood or an olive grain print.

ALNOArt Pur
The latest addition to the handleless ALNOArt range, offering high style and design at a compelling price. High gloss, laminate fronts with real matt aluminium frames provide a kitchen that is durable and low-maintenance. Available in rosewood grain or quartz grey cherry gloss.

ALNOLux
A high gloss finish is achieved with acrylic-coated fronts and edges available in a choice of coral, cocoa or metallic graphite colours. It is also possible to have ALNOLux doors with or without handles, giving the option to create a dramatic feature in the kitchen. The handleless doors open and close automatically when tapped.

ALNOArt Pro
The award-winning ALNOArt Pro is a top of the range, handleless, high gloss kitchen now available in a nature-inspired magnolia white colour. The secret of this inimitably stylish kitchen design lies in the high-gloss, handleless lacquered glass fronts, which create the brilliant shine. ALNOArt Pro is epitomised by timeless elegance. With its warm overtones, magnolia white is a fresh alternative to white.

New 120cm Wide Base and Wall Units
Wide just got wider with ALNO's new spacious and well-organised 120cm drawers. Units can be equipped with Servodrive Technology, allowing drawers and doors to be opened and closed with a single tap. Less is more with these ultra wide wall units, creating a sense of tranquillity in any kitchen.

ALNO is known for its innovative designs and creative ideas including different working heights, storage solutions, intelligent lighting and the servo-soft closing system, preventing doors from slamming shut.

ALNO offers a choice of 47 laminate and solid wood worktops and 70 different ALNO-branded handles or knobs. ALNO is one of the few manufacturers to offer a choice of carcase to match or contrast with the door and drawer fronts, offering 30 different options of simulated wood, veneered wood, high floss or laminate colours.

All ALNO kitchens are manufactured to order and are available from a network of ALNO premier kitchen retailers and John Lewis department stores nationwide.
