Nicholas Anthony at Harrods

Nicholas Anthony is opening an exclusive Poggenpohl kitchen studio at Harrods. The kitchen retailer has been hand-picked to run this prestigious concession, named Poggenpohl at Harrods.

The new studio, which opens in June, is the fifth store for Nicholas Anthony, which celebrated 25 years in the kitchen business in 2007. The high-end retailer currently has thriving showrooms in London's Wigmore Street and Brompton Road as well as Ascot and Colchester.

Poggenpohl at Harrods will be the first studio in the UK to feature the new Porsche Design P'7340 kitchen from the luxury German manufacturer. The large display of this iconic kitchen will form the focal point of the showroom. Visitors can also view the acclaimed Poggenpohl PLUSMODO, +SEGMENTO and +INTEGRATION and classic hand-painted kitchens in the exalted ambience of Harrods. A working kitchen display will allow live cookery demonstrations as part of the Poggenpohl at Harrods experience.

MD Tony Nicholas said: ‘We are very excited to be opening this new studio in partnership with Poggenpohl and also Gaggenau. As an upmarket service provider, Harrods is perfectly aligned with the Nicholas Anthony brand which prides itself on excellent customer service, leading design and high quality products. We therefore feel there is close synergy between Nicholas Anthony and the world-recognised Harrods and Poggenpohl brands.’

Explaining the decision to open a studio in close proximity to the Nicholas Anthony Poggenpohl showroom in Brompton Road, Tony Nicholas adds: ‘Brompton Road is an extremely successful showroom which primarily serves the local community and developers. When considering the expansion of our business module we were approached by Harrods. The new studio gives us more retail space close by with the opportunity to also access the international market.’

Martin Gill, MD of Poggenpohl Group UK and Head of Global Retailing, says: ‘Poggenpohl at Harrods is a unique marriage of two global brands and we are delighted to have chosen our key strategic partner, Nicholas Anthony, to run this important new studio. The launch is in keeping with our policy of strategically opening new showrooms in premium locations within the UK and worldwide.’

CEO of Poggenpohl, Elmar Duffner, comments: ‘We are delighted to step into this partnership with Harrods. Both brands have a long history and fit together very well. I hope this is the start of a long and happy relationship between Poggenpohl and London's premier retail outlet.’
