KITCHENS & BATHROOMS
POGGENPOHL Pioneering kitchen design since 1892
A
s the world’s oldest kitchen brand, Poggenpohl has put its stamp on generations of bespoke kitchens. Since being founded in 1892 by renowned German cabinetmaker Friedemir Poggenpohl, it has not only garnered a reputation for precisionengineered contemporary kitchens but also world firsts. Consistently at the forefront of innovation, the company produced the first solid wood kitchen – which single-handedly shaped the aesthetic of the modern fitted kitchen – as well as the first white lacquer furniture and the first island kitchen. Today it is represented in more than 70 countries. The company’s legendary kitchens combine the modernist principles derived from its origins in the Bauhaus movement and the Ulm School of Design with a generosity of texture, colour and proportion. Recent ranges include the unstructured +Modo, which features glass-fronted drawers and open shelves that can be used to showcase china, glassware and saucepans; the minimalist +Segmento with handle-less cupboards and worktops so thin they appear to float above the units beneath, which recently saw the addition of a reinterpreted version +SegmentoY featuring anti-fingerprint technology and new methods for lighting; and
