Already the New Zealand home of some of Italy’s most prestigious brands, as well as their own bespoke cabinetry offering, Ultimate Living now boasts exclusive access to two of Germany’s most superlative kitchen collections.
Showroom manager Katrin Eriksson is thrilled about the company’s newest partnership, which has seen four, full-sized kitchens appear in their Newmarket showroom. “As New Zealand’s sole distributor of world-leading German kitchen brands, Schüller and Next125, we are proud to bring our clients an unparalleled opportunity to experience luxury in kitchen design,” she tells Verve. “Our collections are the epitome of customisation and innovation, offering a seamless blend of style and functionality tailored to your unique taste where the price is a pleasant surprise considering the luxurious quality.”
Schüller is the parent brand, a company that produces around 170,000 kitchens per year that are distributed globally. Next125 is their most premium offering, and one that the team at Ultimate Living thinks will be fully embraced by locals looking to elevate their kitchen to the next level of European excellence.
“It’s a truly collaborative design process,” explains Katrin, “whereby we help you create a kitchen that’s completely bespoke to you. We have our own design team and also work alongside architects and kitchen specialists, helping you choose from a range of benchtops, splashbacks and finishes for a beautiful end result.”
Ultimate Living is also aligned with Gaggenau and NEFF to ensure the seamless integration of premium appliances.
The process of kitchen design and quoting is made easy by the talented team before plans are sent to Germany for manufacture. From there, your bespoke kitchen is shipped to New Zealand and Katrin assures that it’s well worth the wait!
“Our collections are the epitome of customisation and innovation, offering a seamless blend of style and functionality tailored to your unique taste.”
Ultimate Living was founded by German cabinet maker, Hubert Fehnker, in 1992, and is still proudly family owned – something they share with Schüller.
“They say that being a family-owned business means passion, responsibility and independence,” says Katrin. “And that is a philosophy we share. We still offer custom wardrobing and shelving made here in New Zealand, as well as being the exclusive distributor for a number of high-quality Italian furniture brands whose products are 100% designed and made in Italy.
“And we pride ourselves on being trendsetters when it comes to modern contemporary furniture, not just in Auckland, but New Zealand wide.”
Based in their Newmarket showroom for over 20 years, the Ultimate Living team invites you to visit to view their new kitchen offering and “step into a world where elegance is a standard and luxury is in every detail”.
