Luxury kitchen designer Poggenpohl US released a new finish -- Stone Grey, offering a neutral and understated tone to its elegant cabinet line.

With the bold, bright neon colors so prevalent at industry design shows, Poggenpohl's Stone Grey finish is its take on the latest trend towards cooler, softer shades, which can blend well with other colors. Stone Grey comes as a melamine resin, hydro varnish or as a high-gloss varnish.

"The idea...to create a color that could play well with other beautiful colors in a magnetic, warm and mysterious way," says Manfred Junker, chef designer for Poggenpohl. "The colors that have defined Poggenpohl in the last few years have set the basis for our inspiration. We've decided that we should come up with a new grey... a grey that, contrary to what already existed, could combine with warmer colors and get into our cozy kitchens, even warmer and inviting environments."

Poggenpohl US also has debuted a classic white finish for its high-gloss lacquer panels. And earlier this year the company launched its goldreif by Poggenpohl line, targeting mid-market to premium buyers, in the U.S.

"The aim with goldreif is to increase market share in the mid market to premium segment, to complement Poggenpohl's luxury market position," says Neil Bailey, president of Poggenpohl U.S.
