History of the Circle Kitchen.

In the mid-1990s my father Alfred Averbeck embarked on a visionary journey from within his modest joinery in Germany. He recognised the growing popularity of urbanisation and the escalating cost of living space in cities. It was during this time that the idea of a space-saving kitchen solution was born.

After four years of dedicated research and development, the first fully functional Circle Kitchen emerged, poised for market testing. Its unique concept garnered immediate global attention, and left a mark in the industry. Several units found eager buyers within Germany, serving as compelling proof of concept for Alfred. With this validation, the time had come to seek a strategic partner capable of scaling up the manufacturing and distribution of the Circle Kitchen.

Over the following years, Alfred received a flood of interest from individuals and entities worldwide. Inquiries came in from residential customers, developers, architects, and kitchen studios alike. Furthermore, significant interest was expressed by prominent kitchen manufacturers, including SieMatic and Nobia. Unfortunately in early 2023 my father passed away, and I am now looking to carry on his legacy.
