The acquisition of Miele’s kitchen division by AFG Holding made it necessary to develop a new brand. The »kitchens for personalities« positioning concept emphasizes the kitchen owner’s personal style, positively setting the brand apart from the very competitive premium segment. The brand identity and communication unite the quality standards of the products with the positioning, creating the foundations for the success of the brand. The brand launch was marked by the expansion of the kitchen range to include a product line created by French designer Philippe Starck.
