Showing initiative

Pioneering green kitchen design has had many spin-offs for the German manufacturer of these kitchens.

Poggenpohl's sustainable design initiatives have not only benefitted clients and the planet, but many of the concepts developed by the company have now become law in Europe.

Colin Kippax, manager of Poggenpohl Australia, says responsibility for the future is embedded in the corporate culture of the company.

"Poggenpohl has long been recognised for its leading-edge kitchen designs, but the company has also taken a lead with sustainability. Our kitchens are made from sustainable wood resources, and all the paints and lacquers are solvent free. Poggenpohl has also been an industry leader in eliminating the use of formaldehyde."

Kippax says Poggenpohl's Green kitchen can even be deconstructed and reinstalled in a new location, providing big savings in resources.

"Our Poggenpohl design team has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and can design kitchens from a mid price range, right up to the high-end bracket."
