At this year's Ambiente trade fair in Frankfurt, Nolte Küchen received the Kitchen Innovation Award in the "Award-Winning Concept" category for its innovative matt lacquer concept. The company also received the "Best of the Best" seal in the kitchen furniture segment, which is awarded to the most popular product in a category.
Matt lacquer concept
The matt lacquer concept, expanded in 2026, stands for design, individuality, and aesthetics. There are six fronts to choose from, 20 colors that can be perfectly combined with each other, a handle available in the same shades, and the exact matching wall color. Every detail is designed to perfectly combine design freedom and comfort.
Kitchen Innovation Award
The Kitchen Innovation Award is one of the few industry awards in which, in addition to technical evaluation, the perspective of end consumers is particularly important in the decision-making process. After a preliminary selection by a jury of experts consisting of representatives from the fields of architecture, gastronomy, and other industry experts, the final evaluation is carried out by consumers as part of an independent market research study. Among other things, design, degree of innovation, functionality, ergonomics, and ecological and sustainability criteria are evaluated.
The jury particularly appreciated the consistent focus on customer needs, as the concept not only offers countless individual design options, but also provides reliable guidance when choosing colors for kitchen furniture and walls.
"We are delighted that our extraordinary concept with its clear consumer focus has convinced the expert jury and that we have received both awards," said Managing Director Heiko Maibach.
