Darren Bull, local area sales manager, the workshop introduced the company’s Loox lighting range and considered how various shades of white light ranging from 3000k to 5000k impact on different materials and finishes. The students explored the importance of lighting design as an integral part of kitchen planning and how plug and play LED systems like Loox byHäfele can be used to enhance textures. They also learnt about maximising space using intelligent storage solutions from Häfele such as Vauth Sagel. Armed with their new knowledge, the students were tasked to design a
full kitchen, including cabinetry, lighting, worktops, tiles and splashbacks, which was then presented to a panel from Häfele and Regal and a winner chosen.
