Another leading European kitchen brand is now available locally. Schmidt Kitchens CEO Ian Buck tells us more.
What makes Schmidt a good fit for the South African market?
Schmidt Groupe is the French leader in the kitchen industry and has more than 700 stores worldwide. We are convinced our combination of German quality and French elegance is perfectly suited to the demands of South African consumers.
How does the Schmidt kitchen design app work?
The app, which is available on our website, allows you to experiment with a variety of kitchen units and colours until you find a combination you like. Check it in-store in the Creative Box sample area, where you will find all the door finishes, handles and worktops in the collection. Then describe your project, taste, expectations and budget, and our team of designers will create a kitchen that meets those requirements.
Which kitchen trend are you most excited about right now?
The hiving trend continues to have an impact on kitchen design. There is a need for multifunctional workspaces and more opportunity for social interactivity. The two strongest design elements for the hive are light and horizontalness. We all want to interact in open environments and to multitask at the same time. This means running an ultra-quiet dishwasher while checking e-mail on the kitchen island and charging your cellphone on the quartz worktop without the need to plug into a socket.
