AWARD WINNING DESIGN: KÜPPERSBUSCH NEW GRAPHIT LINE OVEN RECEIVES THE RED DOT AWARD
Once again a Küppersbusch product was able to convince the 48 international jurors of the Red Dot Design Award. The BP 6350.0 pyrolytic oven from the new Graphit Line received the coveted red dot in the Product Design category.

Inspired by this characteristic, Küppersbusch has developed a builtin series that combines the original extraction of this material with the tradition of the company‘s headquarters in the Ruhr area. The structure printed behind glass stands for eye-catching, unobtrusive lines and at thesame time resembles brushed steel. In combination with the striking, matt black handle design, the appliance of this design concept perfectly match with all natural surfaces of the kitchen.http://www.home-kueppersbusch.com
