new kitchen furniture, electrical appliances, accessories, and
the inspiring program of events – the outstanding mix of
everything connected to kitchens and cooking – ensured steady
levels of visitors on all days of the fair as well as satisfied exhibitors.
Some 50,000 end consumers, including large numbers from
neighboring Belgium and the Netherlands, took the opportunity to
discover this year's trends on the public days.
The atmosphere among trade visitors was characterized by
business, networking and the search for trends. LivingKitchen's
rich and diverse blend of concepts and product innovations
transformed tomorrow's kitchens into a tangible experience. "The
excellent atmosphere in the halls of LivingKitchen throughout the
trade days shows how important the event is for the industry and
for the German economy as a whole," said Gerald Böse. Volker Irle,
managing director of Arbeitsgemeinschaft Die Moderne Küche e.V.
(Association for Modern Kitchens), also drew a positive conclusion:
"LivingKitchen 2019 was a successful and inspiring event that
created an appetite for more."
