(1888PressRelease) August 29, 2014 - Alno announced the launch of a technologically enhanced kitchen at its Miami flagship showroom with a special event on Thursday, July 24th, 2014. Alno made this debut to help transition end consumers with next-generation capabilities in the cabinet furniture business by integrating technology in the kitchen in an aesthetically sound way.

With the launch of this 'connected kitchen,' Alno strengthened its position in the cabinet market offering options for kitchen design integrated with technology. To promote the launch of the attractive interactive display, Alno hosted Miami's premier developers and professional partners with a showroom tour and culinary event at its flagship location, 3650 N. Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida.

Lothar C. Birkenfeld, NKBA Hall of Fame award recipient, as well as pioneer of modern European cabinetry in the U.S., is heading this new concept geared specifically for the North American market and demonstrated the kitchen's moving parts and remote-controlled capabilities from an iPad. Chef Ryan Harrison and Wok Star Eleanor Hoh presented signature dishes. Miele, Modern Luxury Publications, Casa Vinicola Zonin USA and Artist Janet Mueller participated as event sponsors.

The new display, programmed locally by Tech Interiors Inc., comes complete with a 13-foot LED touch computer screen / TV which serves as the kitchen's backsplash. Cabinets are made with platinum blue and black and trade-marked glass and topped off with the most exclusive textured solid stainless steel countertop called, Ice Design™, a product of 'AlnoINOX + Technik' and 'Suter.'

MAIN FEATURES OF THE NEW ALNO KITCHEN INCLUDE:
- All exclusive patented glass fronts
- Servo-Drive™ doors and drawers for opening and closing
- 13-foot Touch Screen LED computer backsplash for:
surveillance/TV/Internet, Skype™
- Multi-view screens operated by ipad, iphone and control panel technology
- Music through Sonos™
- USA exclusive solid stainless steel countertop
- Alno exclusive 3 height, adjustable cabinets including: cooktop, sink, worktop
- Latest Miele appliances in black glass.

Alno has developed this sophisticated kitchen, integrating automated controls and an advanced computer system. The controls remotely move base cabinets, as well as open upper cabinets automatically, making the design even more custom. In the premier debut of this high-tech kitchen, sink, base and cooktop base cabinets move up and down adjusting to various heights, which makes this a great innovation for family members of different heights as well as provides a solution for better ADA / wheelchair accessibility. This kitchen, in general, aims to reflect the individuality of the people who own them.

"Cooking, eating, videoconferencing, serving, surveillance and working, are all possible in one space now," said Lothar Birkenfeld, President and CEO of ALNO USA Corporation. This is the future of kitchens, and for Alno, it's only the beginning. We are the first company worldwide to start the development of the truly high-tech kitchen." Alno is helping consumers bridge the integration of technology with home building products (in this case kitchen cabinetry), and transition to custom, next-generation products, while keeping the kitchen's design and layout aesthetically pleasing and ergonomic.

This kitchen moves, communicates, interacts and adjusts. While cooking, a person will be able to use cameras set up on the touch screen backsplash to supervise a home's front door or children's room, for example. It's about optimizing your time at home to make living an even more seamless and vibrant experience. The owner never has to eat alone, with the ability to Skype family or friends. Alno is at the forefront of the development of the high-tech kitchen; this event is a preview to a much bigger launch expected to arrive from Germany to the North American market in 2015-2016, where the integration of health measurement tools, and other powerful apps, will be a part of the design.

ALNO kitchens are suitable for both high-end multi-unit commercial projects as well as for private residences. The company has more than 40 different program lines in ten price segments with fronts available in more than 100 colors and styles. The company is constantly striving to develop products that are of the highest quality and that improve in design, year after year. This is one of many reasons just last year, Alno was awarded with the prestigious title, "Brand of the Century" by an advisory board of high-profile marketing and brand executives. Alno's reputation as one of the world's leading marketing companies is also demonstrated by awards including, "Top National Employer 2013," "Best Marketing Company" in 2011 and "Superbrands" in 2013.
