Cozy and Classic: Dieter Knoll's Country Kitchen Design

The Dieter Knoll Collection presents a refined, country-style kitchen that blends timeless charm with innovative craftsmanship. Photographed by Mauritz Interior Design at the Aiko showroom in Burgas, Bulgaria, this elegant setup showcases Nolte Küchen's attention to detail and design excellence.

Warm Tones and Natural Elegance
Each element in this kitchen has been curated to create a calm, inviting atmosphere. The soft grey cabinetry, framed fronts, and warm wood accents deliver a country aesthetic without compromising on contemporary appeal. Marble-look countertops and backsplashes add a sophisticated, natural texture that balances the room.

A Focal Point: The Central Island
At the heart of the layout is a multifunctional island that serves as a prep zone, storage hub, and social gathering point. Its integrated wine storage, soft-close drawers, and built-in induction hob highlight a perfect union of form and function. Under-cabinet LED lighting enhances the floating appearance of the island, creating a modern ambiance.
