A Conversation about urbankitchen If you have had questions about urbankitchen or are simply curious to learn more we covered most of them here 22
What is urbankitchen? urbankitchen is a design concept, by Blum Singapore, to introduce, excellently designed, perfectly planned and meticulously manufactured kitchen to Singapore homes and families. Manufactured according to the highest standards employed by almost all major kitchen labels in Europe, urbankitchen provides quality while being extremely affordable. Does this mean that Blum now makes kitchens? No, not at all! We conceived the urbankitchen concept to enable the Singapore industry to locally manufacture and install these kitchens in a highly precise and cost effective manner. The quality of each urbankitchen is comparable to imported kitchens by European manufacturers. That sounds expensive. Doesn t this make locally build kitchens expensive for the average home owner? No, quite the contrary actually. Being a modular kitchen, urbankitchen is therefore very cost effective. Designers would not need to design each new kitchen from scratch but rather, utilising the urbankitchen cabinet library, they can build the perfect kitchen for any budget and any room layout with the modules provided. This sounds exactly like it is being done by the big European kitchen manufacturers! Precisely so! The concept of urbankitchen allows such standards to exist in our local market, albeit at a highly cost effective alternative. These kitchens are as efficient and precise as the rest of the world s kitchen industry. How do you ensure that urbankitchen becomes affordable for any budget? It is really quite simple. The cost of a kitchen is largely determined by how many cabinets you choose for your kitchen. Regardless of what hardware you will have, cabinets will be a major part to your kitchen. Hence, we ensure that it becomes affordable by allowing various ranges in laminates, countertops and the Blum hardware. Depending on your budget, you can customise your kitchen hardware by having doors with 2 Blum hinges or you could have 4 Blum TANDEMBOX or LEGRABOX box systems. Wouldn t that mean that Blum would love for everyone to choose 4 drawers instead of 2 hinges? Well, that would be true, but urbankitchen was not conceived by Blum Singapore to design the most expensive, well equipped kitchen. It was conceived to allow Singaporeans to get an imported quality kitchen for their home, regardless of their budget. The choice is still the homeowners. If a kitchen with all drawers is not what they want or what their budget allows, urbankitchen would still give them the freedom to have a quality kitchen that would still be budget friendly. 23
Ok, I am sold. Tell me how do I get my urbankitchen? Simple! All you need to do is to come down to our showroom with your floor plan or contact any of our urbankitchen certified partners for an appointment. Taking into account, your budget, the size of your household and your kitchen habits, we will create the perfect kitchen layout for you and your family. No longer than an hour, you will immediately see the exact price of the kitchen that has been planned for you, including installation charges. Can I personalise my kitchen? You can play with the various design and hardware options and be presented with the immediate price comparison to your original plan. Meaning, you can decide to choose a cabinet with 4 drawers instead of 2 hinges or explore the different cabinet colours, laminate range or even the various countertop options for your kitchen. The price for these changes will be reflected immediately and you can work it around your budget. This sounds almost too easy. The design of a kitchen takes many days so how do you achieve this in just one hour? Well, we have a highly trained and fully experienced planning team in the Blum showroom. Plus, they are also equipped with the latest software to do all the price calculations for you right on the spot. Ok, so now that I have my kitchen planned for my budget. What happens now? Your can choose from a list of our certified and trusted partners, comprised of very experienced local carpenter companies, who will handle your entire coordination and installation.
