Bulthaup Visit: Kitchen Living Space Design

October 21, 2009 Interior design students from intake ADID 11 got an opportunity to visit the Bulthaup showroom and see the latest designs, concepts, and products offered by the German kitchen systems company.

Bulthaup was founded in 1949 and is located in Aich, Germany. Their designers and own factory produce world-class customizable kitchen systems to accommodate all varieties of clients all over the world, from private flats in Europe to international hotel chains in Asia.

The customizable nature of Bulthaup's systems and the variety that customization gives to the creative process, has made their kitchen systems a favorite amongst many interior design firms.

Students from Inspiration Design School were given a brief history of the company, a very technical and professional explanation of Bulthaup's products including the manufacturing process, the variety of options in finishes and accessories, as well as examples of Bulthaup's commitment to customer service.

For example, the unique nature of veneer finishes may cause problems for systems that are damaged in transit before installation. Therefore, Bulthaup keeps the balance of veneer used in each project for up to 6 months. In the event that the finish is damaged in transit or installation, customers can receive matched veneer replacements.

The knowledge of the Bulthaup staff, especially that of Steven, who gave students a presentation, product demonstrations, and answered their questions, was greatly appreciated by Inspiration Design School's students and staff alike.

We look forward to visiting Bulthaup again in the future to see what this innovative kitchen design company comes up with next.
