Design principles

Our aim is to develop exceptionally elegant kitchens. At the heart of our thinking are those who appreciate thoughtful design, precision workmanship and quality materials. It is for those that we create kitchens. Kitchens full of function and emotion. Proceeding from the values of Bauhaus, we combine craftsmanship, technology and architecture at the highest level. State-of-the-art series production enables us to produce excellent quality economically. Just one next125 kitchen unifies seven design principles: it is precise, elegant, creative, minimalist, functional, emotional and technological. We have been creating kitchens that are characterized by the special style of next125 in this way for almost two decades.

Design awards

next125 worktop storage rack

It is the ideal solution for arranging the workspace and adds a further design feature to the kitchen with its onyx black worktop storage rack. The storage rack is especially useful when planning kitchen islands. It creates storage space where recess solutions are not an option. This elegant functional top unit with interchangeable interior inserts keeps spices, utensils, knives and even a dispenser for cling film or foil nice and tidy and close at hand just above the worktop. There’s even a plug socket.The top unit is available in both one-tier and two-tier models.

next125 Sideboard

The next125 sideboard with glass fronts in ultra grey combines optimal functionality with an elegant design. The English pull-outs and sunken storage tray are a real eye-catcher in any living space. The sideboard can fascinate both in the kitchen and in open-plan layouts with its dark appearance.

next125 bar section for the pocket system

The pocket system with a bar section is the ultimate home bar: during the daytime, unobtrusive doors conceal the contents, whilst at night the mirrored back panel and the shelving with its LED lighting give depth and grandeur to the room. A wine cooler keeps drinks at the perfect temperature and the drawers store everything you need to make your favourite cocktail – all of course in the usual stylish look inspired by Bauhaus.

GERMAN BRAND AWARD 2023

next125 has already received numerous awards for its unique kitchen designs and is now also convincing in the brand’s positioning and leadership. next125 has received the Design Council’s “German Brand Award 2023 Gold” in the “Excellent Brands – Kitchen & Household Appliances” category.

next125 pocketsystem

A cupboard that is a whiz at hide and seek. Closed it looks like household furniture, open it reveals its true range of functionality. All it takes is a light tap and the retractable doors spring open. Behind them lie the oven, steamer and much more – all beautifully hidden away.

next125 island frame

How can you make a kitchen island float? Simple: by giving it beautifully slender legs to stand on. The basic concept is to make the focal point of the kitchen weightless so it appears more minimalistic and cubic. This transforms the island into a standalone communicative piece with a floating appearance that accentuates the kitchen design. To achieve the sleek look, the island’s frame uses a visually discreet design in onyx black. The legs taper outwards to emphasise the streamlined character.

next125 Glass display unit

An eye-catching piece for any room: the beautiful display unit with satinated glass shelves and two practical drawers. The integrated lighting creates a very special atmosphere in the evenings.

next125 Trolley

The matt black metal trolley with compartments for bottles, glasses, herbs, spices and much more is suitable for use everywhere. Its practical shelf area for presenting and preparing things offers great storage space. Equipped with a metal handle, the trolley is easy to push around and perfect for any situation.

next125 Frame

‘Frame’ – a concept based on the notion of framing things. The system for recesses combines flexible organisation, perfect ergonomics and effective lighting to create a framework for new ways of working in the kitchen. It is the perfect choice when looking for variability, with six organisational elements available for customised combination.

next125 panel garden

What can be better than using fresh herbs to cook with? next125 has developed a solution just for this: the panel garden. This holder for plant pots is hooked into the recess system’s intermediate profile. The integrated lighting helps herbs to remain fresh for longer. The lighting is controlled by a timer that leaves the light on for 14 hours and then switches it off for ten hours. Thus, you always have fresh herbs on hand. The panel garden is also available without illumination.

next125 flex-boxes made from moulded nonwoven material

Movable, extremely versatile and highly flexible – the next125 Flex-Boxes made from moulded nonwoven material. The material has a pleasant feel and softens the noises made by cutlery, kitchen utensils or china. Whether cutlery insert, plate rack or anti-slip mat, the Flex-Boxes can be combined individually. The material can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, wiped or washed in the dishwasher. The elements made from oak create an exciting material mix.

next125 ceramic front nx950

The next125 ceramic front is unrivaled in design. The ceramic panel is supported by a frame construction manufactured to a very high standard, the back of which forms an aluminium-coloured support frame. A solid aluminium edge encloses the panel on all four sides, protecting the slim ceramic sides and underlining the minimalist design. The rear of the front is finished with an infill panel. Ceramic is a high-density material that is also a popular choice for use in laboratory equipment on account of its resistance and hardness. The frame for ceramic and glass is now also available in onyx black.

next125 carcase height 87.5 cm

The new carcase height for greater design freedom brings with it more storage space – even though the new reduced plinth height has been introduced for design reasons, it is naturally a welcome effect, to gain space for an additional drawer or more height for storage space as a result. A further aspect is the homely feel of the low plinth. The plinth has the effect of being a shadow gap and, with its discreet height does not define the kitchen appearance.

next125 cooking table

The free-standing statement at the heart of the kitchen: the award winning cooking table from next125. Its inclined legs create a purist eye-catcher and elegant workstation. The hob disappears flush into the clear surface, thus allowing the clean lines to be shown to their best advantage.

next125 wall-mounted

Adding lightness to the kitchen – the idea of floating. This impressed a wide variety of juries: next125 mounted on wall opens up new design horizons and provides individualists unprecedented freedom in kitchen planning.

next125 cube

Everything in its place: cube adds new space to the principle of order – as an expression of consummate aesthetics. The motto of the modular cube elements is ordered, enclosed, tidy. A fascinating system that has won several awards since 2009.
