The cutting edge +INTEGRATION from kitchen manufacturer, Poggenpohl, has won two international awards for innovation.  Presented with the Chicago Athenaeum Good Design Award in 2004 at the Eurocucina fair in Milan, Poggenpohl continued its success at this years IMM Cuisinale in Cologne, Germany where it received the prestigious Innovation Award. 

+INTEGRATION, a furniture and multi-media concept for the home, brings kitchens and living spaces together with co-ordinating furniture, purpose-designed for all areas.

Creating the possibility of a truly multi-functional room, +INTEGRATION offers endless design possibilities and architectural interpretation of the space. Elegant high boards with built-in wide-screen televisions can be used to define the living area; shelving and storage systems have been created for TV and home entertainment systems; wall units that appear to vanish into the wall allow planning freedom unconstrained by existing structures.

Wood veneers are mixed with Parapan high-gloss acrylic fronts in black or white, providing inspiration for living kitchens where family members can not only cook, but also watch television, listen to music, read, eat, surf the internet and relax. Zebrano-structure, Swiss Pear and Walnut panels feature distinctive and individual graining which is book-matched either horizontally or vertically within the living and cooking space. The resulting fascinating, natural patterns in the wood can be fully appreciated and used as accent points throughout the room.
