Gallery
Sails into 2007 with Hudson
Gallery
has expanded its popular Blonde Oak kitchen range for 2007 with the introduction
of Hudson.
A
fresh, contemporary kitchen designed to be equally at home with bold,
modern decorations and stainless steel appliances or more neutral, muted
colours and accessories, Hudson offers retailers a highly flexible option.
A horizontal grain, timber effect slab door in blonde oak, with co-ordinating
carcase, Hudson has a choice of matching accessories to add interest and
variety to kitchen designs.
The use of blonde oak gives the kitchen a warm feel and responds to the
current design trend for natural tones, with pale peaches, gold and honey
notes. The versatility of this door means it will perfectly complement
a neutral design palette or equally look stunning when punctuated with
more vibrant colours.
Gallery’s Brand Manager Sarah Stead said: 'One of our primary aims
is to enable our retailers to offer customers a wide choice of kitchen
designs, from dramatic glosses and stunningly simple shaker styles to
the more traditional door. Hudson sits comfortably in the Gallery
collection, as the design is extremely flexible and versatile.
'Timber-effect doors continue to be extremely popular. Teamed with pale,
muted colours it gives a light and airy feel, whereas for a more dramatic
colour scheme, Hudson looks striking with strong black and bold reds.'
Gallery is part of Symphony, the UK’s largest privately owned furniture
supplier. There are more than 500 independent retail studios marketing
Gallery products to consumers throughout the UK.

Pronorm
Launches Best Selling Prime Line Handle-Less Range in Competitive Laminate
Option
Reflecting
the strong demand for handle-less kitchen design, Pronorm
has launched a diffusion line for its best-selling Prime Line range. In
addition to the premium high gloss lacquer option, there is now a laminate
option featuring a matt texture. Drawing on trend predictions and market
analysis, the five new door options have been selected for their proven
design and commercial appeal. Nut Tobacco, Oak, Anthracite, White and
Vanilla are the top performers in Pronorm's flagship portfolio and now
make up the versatile palette of laminate designs that can be used uniformly
or in combination with each other.
Significantly,
the range is priced approx 30% lower than high gloss which greatly widens
its potential for the retail and especially the contract sectors. Says
Jason Grinton, Business Manager for UK & Ireland:
‘Handle-less kitchens are a key design look and very much in demand.
By combining best selling designs with a competitive price point, we can
give our customers the flexibility to broaden sales to a much wider audience.
This product can perform extremely well for them in the premium mid market
sector.’
The Prime Line laminate doors feature a square-edged, tight radius door
detail at the top which gives a crisp finish and sharper look underneath
the worksurface edge. The grab rail on the carcase is finished in stainless
steel or aluminium. The Prime Line PLP laminate range is available in
a wide range of doors sizes. And unlike other brands where some doors
need separate handles, all Pronorm doors are available in true handle-less
format.
All Pronorm kitchens are supplied as rigid, factory assembled furniture
giving them true built-to-last quality. With an emphasis firmly on contemporary
styling, precision manufacturing and ergonomics, Pronorm kitchens offer

Urban
Cream - JJO plc Brings the Future Home
J&J
Ormerod plc (JJO plc), the independent UK manufacturer of kitchens
and bedrooms, is launching its Colonial Urban kitchen in a cream colourway.
JJO plc unveils this ultra modern Urban kitchen, confident that prevailing
fashions are changing from traditional looks to cleaner lines.
JJO
says that its Colonial Urban kitchen in cream is proud to be different.
A kitchen with bravura styling, it features a bold-colourway worktop and
splashback to create the optimum contrast with its smooth, sheer cabinets.
The linear units are simple in design, architectural in their straight
lines, with drama added by the vermilion work surfaces and splashbacks.
JJO offers Urban Cream kitchen units in different heights, which give
additional interest and add to the architectural effect. A combination
of different sightlines is up-to-the-minute and makes the kitchen constantly
interesting. Wall cabinets of asymmetrical length meet units of differing
heights, joined by one long central bridging unit, to create a cohesive
whole. The splashbacks and shelving add a unifying element. Conceived
from modern principles of design, the layout of the units is actually
very simple, giving the impression of an urban skyline.
JJO's Urban kitchen is part of its olonial range of kitchens, and is also
available in a beech finish. Prices start at £90 inc VAT for a 300mm
base unit and £220 inc VAT for a 600mm midi larder unit. A comprehensive
range of optional extras are also available to complement the Urban cream,
including shelf lights and halogen downlights. In addition, JJO plc offers
over 100 different handles. JJO recommends using oval bar handles in matt
chrome with the Urban kitchen, as this typifies the current trend for
wide contemporary units with contrasting metal handles.
JJO plc is a corporate member of the KBSA (Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialist
Association), a long term member of ASFI (Association of Suppliers to
the Furniture Industry) and a supporter of FIRA (Furniture Industry Research
Association).

Carron
Phoenix Launches Premium Isis Stainless Steel Range
Fashionably
low profile edges, deeper than average bowl sizes, choice of two textures,
left and right hand flexibility and a modern geometric design characterise
the new Isis stainless steel range from Carron
Phoenix.
A key feature of the Isis design is the low profile perimeter that sits
just 4mm off the worksurface, much flatter than other inset models within
the Carron range. It gives a crisp, almost seamless appearance between
the sink and worksurface normally only achieved with an undermount or
flushmount sink. Yet Isis, as an inset sink, is installed with a single
cut-out reducing both time and installation costs.
Clean lines are echoed throughout the Isis range, from the drainer pattern
to the ergonomic bowl options. Isis is available in two finishes, polished
and the new Micro Linen, which adds a subtle textured look to the sink.
There are four models available in both left and right hand drainer configurations.
These include the popular single and 1.5 bowl options, as well as superb
1.75 and 2.5 bowl options for the harder working kitchen. At 200mm deep,
the Isis bowls are also more roomy and flexible compared to the 180mm
of a standard inset model.

JJO
plc Launches the Castille Kitchen in Natural Oak
J&J
Ormerod PLC
(JJO plc), the independent UK manufacturer of quality kitchens and bedrooms,
has introduced the Castille kitchen in Natural Oak to its solid oak kitchen
range.
The
trend for wide, clean units in natural tones is captured in the oak effect
of this addition to JJO's range. The colour was designed to meet the changing
market trend toward browns and beiges and moves away from the 'green/yellow'
tones of traditional oaks. The Natural Oak finish emphasises a natural
wood look and will enhance and beautify any number of design combinations.
The company says that JJO's Natural Oak kitchen epitomises the continuing
desire for traditional and classic kitchen styles, using solid and enduring
materials combined with beautiful yet functional looks. Some styles and
materials stand the test of time, representing longevity and good taste,
and their appeal is timeless.
The Castille kitchen in Natural Oak is set in this tradition. Solid wood
evokes a sense of craftsmanship and is perfectly suited to a suburban
kitchen which aspires to a homely yet modern sensibility as well as to
a rustic, farmhouse setting. The Castille Natural Oak units can be successfully
combined with a multitude of inset colourways, from cream through to the
red, slate grey and ebony palettes of current trends to create a contemporary
kitchen anchored in a classic style.
The Castille Natural Oak kitchen is available in a variety of units including
a range of base units, larders, drawer packs and with a castellated pelmet
and accessories.
Prices are in the region of £120 for a 300mm base unit in Natural
Oak and £110 for a 280mm wall unit. Wall units are offered with
an optional glass front or open shelving in a selection of sizes. A comprehensive
range of optional extras are also available to complement the warm, solid
oak timber, including shelf lights and halogen downlights. In addition,
JJO offers over 100 different handles.
Recommended are the Hammered Pewter Bow Handles for cupboards and wide
drawers, and Hammered Pewter Knobs on slim line drawers to complement
both the style and colour of the Natural Oak.
JJO PLC is a corporate member of the KBSA (Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialist
Association), a long term member of ASFI (Association of Suppliers to
the Furniture Industry) and a supporter of FIRA (Furniture Industry Research
Association).

Sinks
with Shape and Style from PWS
Shape
and styling are very important to how the kitchen works ergonomically
and also to how it looks, so it comes as no surprise that form and function
are inherent in the designs of PWS' latest sink collection.
As
the trend for solid and natural worksurface materials gathers pace, PWS
has positioned its sink portfolio to suit this specialist market. The
new range of high quality stainless steel undermount sinks is proving
immensely popular and captures the consumer demand for clean-living and
professional lines. Manufactured by Teka, the range encompasses simple,
fresh designs that are at home in both modern and traditional kitchens.
The union of lines and curves, ensures the new 1 1/2 bowl option stands
out from the crowd as it has a contemporary feel that is both stylish
and functional. Other models in the new line-up include single bowls and
double bowl combinations in a range of sizes.
Comments Andrew Langford, PWS' Marketing Manager, 'Sinks and taps have
elevated their status enormously over the past few years to be an integral
design choice within a kitchen scheme. The same can of course be said
for many products - handles, worktops, storage solutions - but the role
of the sink area has changed into a much more considered choice. Sinks
have always been an important part of the working triangle but now have
assumed even greater importance for shape, style, material and function.
Of course material-wise, stainless steel will always be the fore-runner
as it gives such a fresh, clean, hygienic feel to the sink area.

Burbidge
Stays Ahead of the Curve
Kitchen
frontals and accessories manufacturer, Burbidge,
has introduced a panelled curved feature door to complement its popular
Lansdowne kitchen. The feature frontal will lend even more design possibilities
to the range as flowing curved designs continue to be the number one choice
for style-conscious homeowners.
Burbidge's shaker-style Lansdowne kitchen has proved incredibly popular
thanks to its 'mix and match' approach, providing consumers with the utmost
in terms of choice and flexibility by combining accessories and feature
doors with a variety of finishes. The new panelled curved door is available
in all Lansdowne finishes: Natural Oak, Natural Maple, Black Walnut and
Painted Oak in Sage, Ivory, Maize and Cornflower, and will add to the
limitless design potentials.
Ben Burbidge, managing director of Burbidge, comments: 'The curved, non-panelled
drawer and door fronts we already offer as part of the Lansdowne kitchen
have contributed heavily to the range's incredible success. Increasingly,
consumers are seeking out organic curves over straight edges in their
kitchen designs so the new panelled curved door was a natural addition
to the range.
'With the right design and planning, curves can create a feeling of space
by softening the edges of the kitchen. By mixing and matching this striking
feature door with the other accessories and frontals in the Lansdowne
range, retailers can create a beautiful, sweeping look for their customers
that is truly unique and has the feeling of a bespoke kitchen design.'
Curves are a practical design solution as they provide more storage space
than standard flat frontals. The new panelled curved door complements
the standard Lansdowne door and drawer frontals, it can be used on both
base and wall units to create eye-catching island unit combinations, unusual
corner cabinets or a rounded finish to a run of units. The new door comes
supplied with all necessary components: curved plinth sections for base
units and curved cornice sections and light pelmets for wall units.
The curved, panelled door joins a wealth of innovative design features
and accessories in the extensive Lansdowne range. Curved, non-panelled
door and drawer fronts, lattice inset feature doors, inlaid marquetry
feature doors and clear glass panelled doors can be combined with accessories
such as curved extractor canopies, square pilasters, shelving, framed
end panels and curved plinths. Kitchen retailers and manufacturers can
also take advantage of Burbidge's ability to manufacturer special size
door and drawer fronts on request and to hand-spray any Lansdowne painted
design to order.
Burbidge is a long established UK kitchen frontals and accessories manufacturer.
The company's products can be viewed in realistic room sets at its showroom
in Coventry. Please call 024 7667 1600 or visit http://www.burbidge.co.uk

Pronorm's
New Proline 128 - Designed to Suit You
Pronorm,
the rigid kitchen furniture brand, says that it is upping the ante in
the premium sector with the introduction of its Proline 128 kitchen. ‘It
offers retailers a level of ergonomic design and planning sophistication
that to date has only been available from a clutch of exclusive brands’.
128mm
is the significant measurement that brings with it a range of benefits
for the designer and the end customer. The concept centres on all the
kitchen door and drawer products being based on a height of 128mm or multiples
of it. By using increments of 128mm, a kitchen can be designed to suit
the customer's bespoke requirements for different working heights for
preparation, cooking and storage. Not only does this help protect against
back strain, but is also far more ergonomically friendly. Following the
ergonomic rule, cooking height should be around 794mm, while standard
working height for preparation and washing up is 922mm. But depending
on the client's actual height, the kitchen can be designed to suit his
or her exact needs. Proline 128 also offers greater flexibility and choice
of storage options including a 768mm high base unit. It also has a cleaner
visual aesthetic, as the gap between doors and drawers has been reduced
down to a neat 4mm.
Says Jason Grinton, Business Manager for UK & Ireland:
‘Proline 128 is a great example of how design, manufacturing and
technical expertise have come together to offer our customers real design
advantage. Also as an introductory offer, it is available at the same
price level as our Classic Line range which gives the double benefit of
superb design capability and margin opportunity.’
The Proline 128 concept is available on a wide range of Pronorm door designs
including the Nut Tobacco, Wenge plus a comprehensive selection of matt
and high gloss plain colours.
