Kitchen Cool

Alno, the German kitchen manufacturer, recently introduced its new lines for 2008, and they are really cool, whether your taste leans toward pop-art contemporary or country chic. You don’t see these looks too often when you walk into a kitchen design shop.

The “Alno Sign” group from the Lifestyle Collection puts kitchen life in the fast lane, with Speed Racer colors on sleek, lacquer-finish cabinets. You can wake up to pistachio, ruby red, papaya, blackberry or lime – on your cabinets as well as in your fruit bowl.

Meanwhile, its “Alno Finn” group from the Country Collection gives a sophisticated sensibility to the country look – a peaceful place to rest the eyes.
