New impetus from Häcker with “Kitchen in motion” E
uroCucina is one of the most important trade fairs in the kitchen world. This April, Milan will once again be the meeting point for architects, designers, companies and anybody else who wants to keep up to date with the industry’s latest trends. One of the highlights at this year’s exhibition is the booth by Häcker Kitchens. Designed under the motto “Kitchen in motion”, it certainly lives up to its promise. Creative, lively, visionary – three words that sum up what makes EuroCucina so special in a nutshell. And these same three words are an equally good description of Häcker Kitchens’ trade show booth. “Our presentation at EuroCucina is just as multifaceted as the way our company is positioned,” says Markus Sander, Managing Director Sales and Marketing at Häcker Kitchens. “Our aim was to provide a visionary outlook that goes beyond our existing models.” The result of the
planning is a trade show concept that translates the “Kitchen in motion” motto into every square metre of the booth, interpreting motion in several senses of the word. On 320 square metres of space, Häcker Kitchens has created an open and transparent place of communication centring around a guest lounge that invites visitors to engage in conversation. As a place of exchange, ideas forum and meeting point, it creates motion in the sense of encouraging a constant and stimulating back-and-forth of information. The three kitchens Häcker is exhibiting at EuroCucina also represent motion: the “Black Star” kitchen, for instance, is totally devoid of handles. There is not a single door pull or strip handle in the entire kitchen. All the pullouts and cabinets open automatically. The second kitchen – “Faro” in pearl grey – shows two elements that use motion to enhance their ergonomics, design and functionality:
the sliding-door cabinets open easily, close gently and give the architecture of the room a spacious feel. And with the individually adjustable worktop, the counter can be optimised to suit whatever job happens to need doing.
As well as the existing kitchens, Häcker is showing another, very special highlight: the design study “Moving kitchen”, in which designer Jochen Flacke has turned his idea of a modern, flexible kitchen into reality. This kitchen takes the themes of motion and adaptability to extremes – and the trade show planning team at Häcker had its work cut out when it came to implementing the design. But their efforts have paid off: the result certainly numbers among the highlights at this year’s EuroCucina.
