Rotpunkt wins Best Kitchen Stand over 30m2 at Kbb 2026

Rotpunkt, leading manufacturer of climate friendly German fitted furniture continues to make a difference to UK retailers having won ‘Best Kitchen Stand over 30m2’ at Kbb Birmingham, following the debut of its brand-new 2026 Collection that serves every room in the home.

Introducing a cross-programme of new furniture concepts, materials, and décors, Rotpunkt showcased two hero kitchen displays that celebrated the key characteristics of Scandinavian design, alongside a fully fitted home bar, and practical home office desk space showing the new pocket doors in a mix of Scandinavian Fjell Oak and Fenix® Rosso Askja (red-brown) with Zerox ME Brass design elements.

A show highlight was the secret studio apartment with kitchen, laundry, living room, bathroom and dressing area, which showed a mix of Zerox MA Tundra furniture with Class VI wall units in Mirror, Industrial Style K doors with Fluted and Diffuse Glass, Tessuto upholstered units with fashionable grey, fabric back-panels, and natural wood accents in variations of Scandinavian Oak.

 It was a Rotpunkt Textured Stone & Memory RI kitchen with Flamed Brass Glass, rich Walnut and Brass metal accents that cleverly concealed the modern studio apartment. Hidden behind a run of full height cabinets, visitors got to explore a fully immersive, real-world studio apartment using the company’s exclusive access doors, which adopt the same look as the furniture but open in reverse to show how you can introduce concealed working areas in an open plan kitchen space.

Matt Phillips, Head of UK Operations at Rotpunkt says, “We are absolutely delighted by the positive response and significant market acceptance of our 2026 Collection, as the stand was overflowing with new and existing retail partners. Excited by Rotpunkt’s latest innovations, we used the Kbb show to fortify our position as a true furniture brand that supports coordinated design schemes throughout the entire home. We even got to include a multimedia room, which included a full-scale golf simulator for a bit of light relief and gentle competition as visitors played to get closest to the pin. Thanks to Lee Mackie for his expertise throughout the show, we definitely made an impression.”  

Key highlights from the new Rotpunkt 2026 Collection shown at Kbb Birmingham include:

Wood – Helping to answer the markets’ love of Scandinavian style, where a quality choice of materials in neutral colours are key features in today’s home, the new Zerox SY VER furniture is available in a range of light and dark wood colours including Scandinavian Brown Oak with undertones of mocha and sand; Scandinavian Fjell Oak, a dark wood colour with hints of coffee and chocolate; and Loft Smoky Oak that provides an ashy grey, smoked wood effect.

Metal – As the practical application of metallic finishes in the home continues to evolve at pace, Rotpunkt Zerox ME introduces a brand-new range of door options and integrated handle rails in three metal finishes: Brass, Inox, and Copper. Designed to bridge the gap between the kitchen and living space, end users can mix and match Zerox ME with door and drawer handles, light fixtures, furniture trims and frames, kitchen appliances, sinks and taps, as well as the latest industrial-style surface solutions across the walls and counters.

Glass – Playing to the trend for new-age materials that are distinct and notably luxurious, the new Industrial Style K25 Smoked Brass units were seen throughout the stand and featured the new Flamed Brass Glass with 25mm Brass Metal frame. Shown in a variety of forms, Rotpunkt inspired visitors with a suite of K25 design concepts including a pair of full height display cabinets and matching wall units. Glass also featured in the boutique style dressing room with fitted wardrobes, and mirrored wall cabinets in the bathroom vanity area.  

Slim Shaker – For anyone seeking modern fitted furniture with a nod to Shaker then Rotpunkt’s popular Smala range revealed Smala 25 and Smala 40, which offers 25mm or 40mm width frames. Delivering the traditional characteristics of a classic in-frame door but with a streamlined aesthetic linked to modern design schemes, Smala adds depth and texture to essentials pieces of furniture and is available in a broad range of finishes including the new Forest Brown Oak, Forest Fjell Oak, Sandy Beach, and Blossom White.

Curved – Shaping the latest must-have design schemes, the new Curved End Panels by Rotpunkt answer the market shift towards softer, organic forms where key pieces in the home are being used to create a more homely aesthetic. Providing the opportunity to achieve custom curves in the kitchen, bathroom, and living space, the new curved end panels are available with either 50mm or 150mm thickness in a variety of cabinet heights, widths, depths, door styles, and colours.

Bathroom – Enabling UK retailers to specify Rotpunkt furniture in a brand-new living environment, the company’s new range of bathroom furniture puts creative visions at the forefront of every project. Available in all colours and finish options by Rotpunkt, trade customers can choose from a range of contemporary handleless base units, complementary tall units, and mirrored cabinets in both standard and XTend dimensions to suit every size and shape of bathroom space.

Show Partners – Neolith worktops, fabricated and installed by The Marble Group, included Neolith Retrostone and new Neolith Taj Mahal 20mm throughout the kitchens, with 12mm Neolith Estatuario used for the apartment kitchen and bathroom vanity area. To finish, both kitchens included an Abode KOTO Sink with complementary Matt Black Prime and Fraction Mixer Taps, and a pair of CAVA Round Chalk Basins with Aquip Tall Basin Mixers featured in the apartment bathroom.

From new hardwood timbers through to modern frame options, fluted designs in wood and glass, and custom curves, Rotpunkt introduced a selection of new doors for the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living space alongside its exclusive collection of all 27 Fenix® colours.
