SieMatic is the largest manufacturer of premium kitchens worldwide. Its kitchens boast of elegant designs suitable for a range of home styles.
The German-designed state-of-the-art, 375-square meter showroom at Pioneer cor. Reliance Sts., Mandaluyong City, featured seven SieMatic kitchens featuring Sub-Zero refrigerators, freezers, wine storage units and Wolf ranges, ovens, warming drawers, cook tops and hoods.
Hosted by your columnist, the opening was well-attended by high-profile personalities led by the Federal Republic of Germany’s Ambassador Herbert Jess and his lovely wife Michelin; Jaime Zobel de Ayala; Joe Concepcion; Sari Cojuangco; Peter Garrucho; Rufo Colayco; Marixi Prieto; Tessa Valdes; and Richard and Lucy Gomez.
"The design of a new kitchen fulfills many people’s dreams. People all worldwide share the vision of combining personal and functional requirements, comfort and aesthetics with the goal of making their kitchen the living center of their household," said SieMatic Far East Office managing director Volker Betsch who flew in to Manila to grace the showroom’s opening.
The quality of the kitchen has improved much over the years. It is no longer thought of as an inconspicuous, laborious workplace. More than any other room in the home, today’s kitchen is an expression of personal ideas and individual lifestyles.
Also lending support during the opening were Sub-Zero’s Grant Riggs, Kurtis Hargens and Mike Avery as well as Sub-Zero distributors from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Thailand, who all flew in for the grand opening.
The evening’s highlight was the raffle of a Sub-Zero freestanding wine storage unit.
The opening of the SieMatic, Sub-Zero and Wolf showroom bodes well for people who share a passion for kitchens and cooking. Through SieMatic’s exceptional designs and programs, the Filipino kitchen is sure to become the center of every household.
Congratulations to SieMatic for bringing form and function to Filipino kitchens!
