Meet Our Expert German Kitchen Designers

As an engineering graduate with a passion for modern design, I embarked on a journey to bring high-end German kitchens and Italian closets to the East Coast. In 2010, my partner Mayan Metzler and I opened our first showroom in Westchester, NY, marking the beginning of our venture.

Since then, we've expanded our presence with state-of-the-art showrooms across the US, including our flagship location in Greenwich, CT. Our showrooms showcase the latest innovations in kitchen design, and our team of experts is dedicated to delivering exceptional customer experiences.

We've had the privilege of designing and installing thousands of kitchens, and we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in kitchen design. Our multi-unit department has also grown, supplying high-end buildings with top-notch kitchen solutions.

Family plays a vital role in my success, with my wonderful wife and two amazing kids by my side. My wife, the appliance expert, ensures that our showrooms offer the most cutting-edge and premium options. Together, we're building a legacy that combines style, functionality, and exceptional customer experience.
