area30 kicks off with a grand entrance: the "stage", where knowledge transfer and inspiration become an experience, will be even closer to the industry and more practically relevant this year. It has developed into a meeting place where the most important voices in the industry come together to shape the future of the kitchen world. Renowned professionals will come together in panel discussions and debates to share their vision and expertise.

Indispensable highlights:

• Home expert and kitchen studio owner Yvonne Zahn (Proform Küchenstudio) will be scouting "Kitchen trends and innovations 2026" at area30 and presenting these innovations on Sunday, 21 September 2025 at 3 p.m. in her usual knowledgeable and pointed manner.
• Katrin de Louw will give a presentation in the keynote speech "TRENDFILTER Report 2026: Interior design trends for kitchen professionals" on Sunday, 21 September 2025, at 4 p.m., on forward-looking trends in interior design and provides exclusive insights into design trends for 2026.
• “The New Luxury: Luxury is what works" on Monday, 22 September 2025, 13:30, Barbara Busse (FUTURE+YOU) will shed light on the transformation of luxury: The new standard is efficiency and sustainability instead of opulent staging.
• "rethink.kitchen: Discover sustainable kitchen solutions" puts a visionary and modular kitchen design in the spotlight with the aim of conserving resources. Interested parties can experience this talk live on Tuesday, 23 September, 4 pm and Thursday, 25 September 2025, 10:45 am.

Personalities and initiatives will take to the stage: Winfried Küppers, Katrin de Louw, Volker Irle, Markus Schüller, Ralph Steffens, Arne Stock, Evie van Maele, Hans Winkler and Yvonne Zahn will share their expertise. The "grüner griff" project is also exemplary for sustainable impulses that set new standards in the industry.

The "stage" not only offers high-calibre presentations, but also a stylish setting for industry-relevant discussions on design, sustainability, market strategies and the future of the kitchen.  In 2025, area30 will once again be the central centre of attraction for the closely networked kitchen community and at the same time a platform for new ideas, clear impulses and sustainable perspectives - all presentations are free of charge for trade visitors.
