As in previous years, Keller will be presenting the company’s latest kitchen innovations at Küchenmeile, together with worktop supplier Jetstone. Under the theme “The art of combination”, Keller will show how dealers are offered maximum design freedom through its range – and how this enables them to respond to the growing demand for personal, distinctive kitchen concepts. The recently-acclaimed Red Dot award for the biobased kitchen line will also be in the spotlight.
The art of (endless) combination
Endless combinations in styles and designs
Keller offers a range that is unique in the UK and Benelux countries, which comprises a distinctive palette of colours, materials, styles and price segments. The Keller Colour Concept supports this design freedom as all shades, décors and materials can be combined perfectly with one another – from subtle tone-on-tone to bold contrast. This gives dealers the opportunity to create a suitable, distinctive design for every customer.
Endless options in price segments
The range also translates into flexibility in terms of budget. From entry-level to premium specification, dealers can easily put together kitchens that match the customer’s financial framework, without compromising on appearance or design quality.
Endless in use and lifespan
By using biobased materials, Keller is also targeting consumers who want to choose a beautiful kitchen which takes into account the impact on future generations. Keller has introduced four colours, tailored to the target group where demand was strongest – the contract market. The aim had always been to expand the range further from 2027, with the ambition of fully replacing the traditional chipboard-and-melamine range with the biobased variant by 2030.
Due to the great success and market adoption on the one hand, and the demand for more colours in order to feel confident about making the switch on the other, this timeline has been brought forward. The range was expanded from 4 to 17 colours in July 2026 and, from 1 January 2027, this will be increased further to a total of 24 colours.
With these developments, Keller underlines that responsible materials and high-quality design can go hand in hand, without compromising on appearance or freedom of choice. This has recently been reinforced by winning international recognition at the highest level.
New introductions: new glass fronts, materials and expanded rounded end panels
With the expansion of the glass-front range to nine frame colours and new types of glass, dealers will have even more freedom to tailor glass cabinets to different interior styles. Keller is also introducing rounded end panels in a wood look, matching the Ithaca series, a true-to-nature wood effect. This addition responds to the trend towards softer shapes and natural materials, which are increasingly being used in contemporary kitchen designs.
There will also be an update in colours, cabinets and materials, all of which can be viewed on the stand.
‘With our new introductions, we are giving dealers concrete tools to stand out in a competitive market,’ says Rob van Steen, Director, Dealers. ‘We show that combining materials, colours and functions leads to kitchens that are beautiful, accessible and future-proof. With the expansion of the enduura® series, we are making biobased kitchens both accessible and attractive to a broad target group. We see this as an important step towards a more sustainable sector.’
Prestigious Red Dot Award 2026 for enduura® elba
Keller Kitchens has been awarded the Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2026 for its biobased kitchen line enduura® elba. This makes parent company, DKG, the first Dutch manufacturer in the kitchen industry to receive this international accolade.
The award is an important endorsement of the course DKG has been pursuing for years: developing sustainable innovation that does not remain niche, but becomes accessible to a broad market. Whereas sustainability in the market is often still presented as an ambition or claim, with this award DKG delivers independent, international proof. A professional jury recognises that sustainability, innovation, design quality and affordability are not mutually exclusive, but can, in fact, reinforce one another.
Award-winning design and networking take centre stage on Sunday evening
During the Sunday evening event at Gut Böckel, from 17:00 to 21:00, Keller will celebrate the Red Dot award together with dealers and industry peers. The evening is the annual networking opportunity, strengthening existing relationships and providing space to make new contacts within the industry. All of this will take place in an informal setting with live cooking and music, together with trade fair partners Jetstone, Franke and MHK.
