Miele induction hobs received two important design awards: the iF Design Award and the RedDot Design Award. Two hobs with an integrated extractor (TwoInOne) and a full-surface induction hob were each double winners.both powerful and quiet in operation. Their reduced design is characterised by the central air intake with a grille set in the ceramic glass screen. This feature, in particular, convinced the jury of the Red Dot Award and allows pots and pans to slide freely. The grille on the rectangular air intake blends in seamlessly with the design of the hob. Depending on the model, the grille is either completely black (KMDA 7272 Silence) or has discreet brushed stainless-steel slats (KMDA 7473 Silence).
A further recipient of the iF and the Red Dot design prize was the KM 7897-1 FL Diamond full-surface induction hob. As many as 6 pots, pans and oven dishes can be placed anywhere on the 90 cm wide hob unit and move around freely. This guarantees untold freedom during cooking. Moreover, the ceramic screen on the hob unit features a special coating: DiamondFinish is one of the hardest surfaces on the market and hence particularly scratch-resistant
The ELAG Professional Line is gaining currently a lot of attention on the Küchenmeile. Because it’s blending the best of both worlds: the power of the LeMax built-in grill with a high-performance induction cooktop.

BORA unveiled a series of products during their Product Launch Event
The BORA Pure M with its signature vertical slider made its appearance. Alongside, lighting solutions were introduced, notably the linear pendant light – BORA Horizon, and the vertical pendant light – BORA Stars.
BORA ventured into presenting an extendable vacuum-sealing system for kitchen countertops,
The main highlight in my opinion, however, was the introduction of three freezer solutions. According to BORA, these freezers are designed with intelligent circulating air cooling to ensure optimal temperature stability. An added feature is the integrated odor filter, aimed at reducing unpleasant fridge odors.
BORA branching out into peripheral products like for instance lighting and vacuum-sealing solutions. At first glance, this might seem a departure from their original product – cooktops with integrated exhaust systems. The addition of freezer solutions now rounds off their offerings in the large kitchen appliances segment. It’s going to be fascinating to watch how this once-specialized provider positions itself brand-wise for the future. The coming months will surely demand some additional communication to clearly convey their brand positioning to the market.
