In the kitchen issue of STEIN, we present a very special specimen from the creative department of the Westphalian luxury kitchen manufacturer eggersmann: an object that, according to the Canadian designers, at first glance does not resemble a kitchen at all. The customer can order the kitchen block with an integrated hob or stone sink as well as with pull-outs and drawers. Another kitchen in “Tundra Grey” sets its own accent in the modern architecture of the house. The block looks more like a long marble table and the kitchen is therefore almost invisible, partly because the white, handleless built-in cupboards are integrated into the wall.

Kitchens have been in vogue for some time now. For customers and kitchen designers alike. They have evolved from a pure workplace to an attractive meeting place in the home. In 2023, statista put sales in the manufacture of kitchen furniture in Germany at around 6.2 billion euros. This makes kitchens the furniture category with the highest turnover on the German market. Kitchen islands are particularly popular. This is where people get together for their first coffee in the morning or an aperitif in the evening. Starting on page 6, we present a very special, superlative example from the creative department of the Westphalian luxury kitchen manufacturer eggersmann: an object that, according to the Canadian designers, at first glance does not even resemble a kitchen.
A kitchen made of “Tundra Grey” sets its own accent in the modern architecture of the house. The block looks more like a long marble table and the kitchen is therefore almost invisible, partly because the white, handleless built-in cupboards are integrated into the wall. Background information on the sophisticated natural stone work can be found from page 14 onwards. Minor damage can always occur when installing expensive natural stone surfaces. The affected part is then often replaced completely. In the interview from page 22 onwards, you can find out how to easily repair small imperfections, which is not only good for your wallet but also for the environment.

The area30 kitchen trade fair is also an unmissable date in the calendar for the natural stone industry. More on this from page 30. One challenge that continues to be a burning issue for many craft businesses is the recruitment of suitable young talent.
