Part
of its new high-luxury Gold Collection, Keller's
Manor range offers sophisticated style with quality construction and a
low-lustre lacquered finish.
With its chunky contemporary design and warm tones, the Manor collection
is certainly eye-catching. A closer look reveals a special tactile surface
finish that enhances its complexion. While most lacquered finishes are
noted for their high shine, Keller has developed a new paint technique
that produces a low-lustre finish that is more subtle than high-gloss
and is designed to offer a high quality alternative to traditional lacquer.
Manor's satiny soft paint finish also offers a scratchproof surface that
is more resistant to fingermarks than its high-gloss alternative. Scratches
are far less visible and the matt surface is warmer to the touch than
a cool, high gloss surface.
With thick frames with flat-fronted centre panels, Manor is finished with
modern matt steel handles and shown here with the very latest worksurface
material - concrete. As with all the ranges in the Gold Label Collection,
Manor has the same low-lustre finish inside as well as out, enhancing
the overall feel of quality construction and presenting the customer with
a fully coordinated look.
Additional new features for the Manor collection include stainless steel
pan drawers, new corner solutions to make the most of wasted space and
invisible hanging brackets for a streamlined, contemporary look. All this
comes on top of Keller's extensive array of storage solutions and comprehensive
range of cabinetry sizes. When it comes to continuing the high-end styling
storage solutions, Keller has created a series of additional furniture
cabinets for open plan designs.
To support the new launch, Keller has produced an inspirational brochure
with a high quality gold lustre cover that will appeal to top-end customers.

SERVO-DRIVE,
the Electric Drawer from Blum
Blum
says that it has always strived to make you ever more comfortable in your
kitchen. From developing the cleverest storage systems so that everything
is in place and immediately to hand .... to the company’s soft close
drawers (BLUMOTION) and non slam cabinet doors.
Now
Blum has come up with the SERVO-DRIVE self opening drawer for base units
in the kitchen.
Imagine, you've just un-stacked the dishwasher, picked up a stack of dinner
plates to put away in the drawer but it's closed. So you have to put the
plates down, open the drawer, pick them up again and store them.
Not any more. With the gentlest nudge or bump on the drawer front the
drawer glides open and out smoothly and effortlessly.
An ingenious and hidden electric drive ensures that the action is perfect
for even heavily laden drawers.
And of course, once the plates or whatever have been put back into the
drawer a gentle push sees it back into its flush cabinet position with
the soft close of BLUMOTION.
‘SERVO-DRIVE and BLUMOTION make moving about and working in the kitchen
bliss. And there's another advantage. Think of a kitchen with smooth flowing,
uninterrupted lines with no handles in sight. It’s ultra modern,
ultra chic,’ says the company.

Go
Futuristic in Your Kitchen with Magnet
The
new Urban Lineaire from kitchen specialist Magnet
is ‘the epitome of streamlined minimalism and truly cutting
edge design’. The sleek, clean look is complemented with high gloss
ice white doors and integrated handles.
The design is highly influenced by European minimalist trends with a refreshing
twist as it allows you to style the units in an angular fashion or with
fashionable curves that create a futuristic effect.
To create a stunning look, Magnet has selected the quartz stone sparkly
blue worktop that really sets off the dramatic glossy ice white cabinets.
The trend for gadgets and appliances being displayed as a design statement,
rather than being hidden away is exemplified in Urban Lineaire. The integrated
wine cooler completes the ultra modern look.
Prices start at £5,698 for a medium sized kitchen and £240
for a 600mm base unit.

Predicting
two years ago that walnut would be the next big thing, PWS'
American Walnut range has lived up to its expectations, and only 18 months
from launch is one of the hot favourites. And never missing a design trick,
Stuart Clarkson, PWS' Conceptual Design Manager has topped the range off
with a collection of curved wall doors.
However,
this is a design with that important point of difference. The shape and
styling is part retro and certainly neuvo, reminiscent of 50's glamour,
yet with the horizontal grain the look is thoroughly modern and appealing.
Available in 997mm width, 715mm high, the wall unit offers cavernous storage
to stow items away, and is particularly suited to store bulkier items
neatly out of sight. A clever hinging system ensures the doors are effortless
to open and close.
Comments Stuart Clarkson, PWS' Conceptual Design Manager, 'I had great
fun with these doors, they are a little bit quirky, have plenty of character,
yet look fantastic. They certainly offer that individual look that consumers
now demand, expressing a strong sense of personal style.'
The curved wall doors join the already successful line-up of American
Walnut base curved doors, s-shaped drawers and doors and the range carries
the Fira Gold Award.

The
new Zeta 90 from Carron Phoenix is
a nifty little sink that fits neatly into a 500mm cabinet. It's a good
option for a smaller kitchen where space is at a premium, without compromising
on a generous single bowl and drainer area.
Says
Neil Clark, sales and marketing manager at Carron Phoenix:
‘This sink is designed for a compact kitchen and is especially good
for the contract market. It's very space-friendly, yet gives the user
the same bowl and drainer sizes as a standard one and half bowl model.‘
The Zeta 90 is part of the new Zeta range from Carron Phoenix which brings
together premium quality; versatile bowl sizes; modern, workable shapes
and superb value for money.
The four models in the Zeta range feature large, 180mm deep bowls, a generously
proportioned and deeply recessed drainer, plus a full range of accessories
including stainless steel basket, strainer bowl and wooden chopping board.
There is also a choice of two stainless steel finishes: polished or textured
linen.
Zeta also features a low profile perimeter, sitting just 4mm off the worksurface.
It gives a crisp, almost seamless appearance between the sink and worksurface
normally only achieved with an undermount or flushmount sink. Yet Zeta,
as an inset sink, is installed with a single cut-out reducing both time
and installation costs.

Burbidge
Launches a Cracking New Walnut Design
In
response to the growing demand for walnut kitchens, Burbidge
has introduced Odessa – a contemporary range of kitchen frontals
and accessories in American black walnut.
In designing Odessa, Burbidge has created a kitchen range that maximises
the natural beauty of American black walnut. A horizontal centre panel
on the frontals accentuates the exotic appeal of the distinctive graining
and deep colour variations that are characteristic of this sought-after
wood, while an unusual frame, with shaped, slim-line uprights and deep
rails, offers further visual impact.
The door and drawer fronts have rounded edges which are accentuated by
the accessories available such as the curved elliptical moulding that
can be used as a cornice, light pelmet or pilaster; and the brushed effect
stainless steel profile handles. The Odessa kitchen is also complemented
by Burbidge’s stainless steel drawers (as pictured) which give it
a luxurious and modern edge.
Ben Burbidge, managing director, comments: 'It’s clear that black
walnut is ever-growing in popularity. We launched a couple of American
black walnut designs last year, Ravello and Lansdowne, and both are proving
very successful. Consumers that choose black walnut are trend-setting
and appreciate individual style and with Odessa, they now have a kitchen
design available with a very cutting edge contemporary style of its own.'
As with all Burbidge kitchen ranges, Odessa frontals and accessories are
available in a broad range of sizes. Burbidge can also manufacture one-off
special sizes for customers with specific design requirements.
Burbidge is the longest established UK kitchen frontals and accessories
manufacturer. The company’s products can be viewed in realistic rooms
sets in its showroom in Coventry. Please call 024 7667 1600 or visit http://www.burbidge.co.uk

Pronorm Luxes it up with the New Wallis Plum
Rigid
kitchen furniture manufacturer Pronorm
has unveiled its latest offering for the contemporary kitchen market with
its Wallis Plum. The design is included in the new Pronorm catalogue which
is now available.
Wallis
Plum captures a gold-violet colour combination with an elegant walnut
tone.
Featuring knotholes and sapwood areas, it reveals 'imperfections' in the
surface that enhance its character and natural aesthetic. It evokes honest,
craftsmanlike qualities and is a modern interpretation of nature - qualities
which are strongly in demand in interior design currently. Wallis Plum
harnesses traditional woodworking techniques with the most modern technology
in a high gloss laminate door. A full range of door and drawer sizes is
available allowing complete design flexibility for ergonomic spaces with
banks of units, islands and preparation areas.
Says Jason Grinton, Business Manager for UK & Ireland:
‘Wallis Plum reflects the spirit of the times with its characterful
and expressive qualities. Bold times demand bold decors and this is a
strongly evident trend currently in kitchen design. We are seeing increasing
use of monochrome solid colour in either glass or high gloss frontals
to make a confident design statement and Wallis Plum extends this now
into woodgrains.’
With its vivid tonal qualities, Wallis Plum works well as a striking and
luxurious décor on its own or equally well in combination with
plain colours such as anthracite, cream or high gloss white as pictured.

As
the name suggests, the concept behind the new Fusion Collection from East
Coast is one of combining elements together through the themes
of coordination & contrast in order to inspire stunning design. The
various elements of the Fusion range have been carefully selected to provide
a multitude of mix & match options giving maximum flexibility &
choice.
At
the core of the range are the high gloss painted & lacquered doors.
Available in 6 colours (black, burgundy, cappuccino, cream, ivory &
white), careful selection has resulted in a range of colours that work
equally well on their own or in any number of combinations.
For added impact, curved feature doors & drawer fronts are available
in all 6 high gloss colours. The Fusion collection also presents 3 high
gloss veneer wood grain feature doors - choose from Macassar ebony, Malindi
ebony & American walnut.
Again carefully selected to mix & match with the 6 high gloss colours,
they are available in a range of feature door sizes. To add yet another
element, chunky box end panels in matching high gloss wood grain veneers
give the definitive luxury feel to the kitchen.
In addition to the high gloss colours & wood grains, the collection
also introduces the additional dimensions of metal & glass - glazed
aluminium framed flap & bi-fold doors provide a marked contrast to
the high gloss finishes whilst still retaining cohesion with the Fusion
concept. All bi-fold door options in the Fusion range are designed to
work with the soft close Blum Aventos system (with flap doors working
on gas stays). Additional aluminium & stainless steel accessories
such as décor legs, plinth & tambour doors complete the Fusion
palette.
