The crowd was out early at the new bulthaup showroom along Armenian Street, not only to take in their renown mobile and ’floating’ kitchen concepts, but to gamely test out their space planning skills on miniature kitchen cardboard ’modules’ for the chance to win great bulthaup premiums.
Art Plural Gallery
Art enthusiasts then took a little side stop to view a solo exhibition by acclaimed French artist Bernar Venet over at the neighbouring Art Plural Gallery.

Down at the new GROHE Live! Center, the latest innovations in bathrooms were the major draw. GROHE also invited guests to strike a pose with the Icon hand shower for the chance to win an Icon hand shower of their own.
