SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 27, 2025 – At Interzum 2025, Ninkaplast GmbH (Ninka) presented a bold redefinition of corner storage functionality, blending advanced plastic moulding with rising market demands for individualization and sustainability. With its two flagship solutions, Trigon 2.0 and Qanto, the German-based family enterprise underscored its commitment to functional excellence and environmental accountability in kitchen design and beyond.
Transforming Corner Units into Efficient, Accessible Storage
Traditionally underutilized, corner cabinets are being reimagined by Ninka as high-performance, user-centric zones within the kitchen landscape. The Trigon system, long known for its turn-and-slide shelving mechanism, has been newly optimized for Interzum 2025. It supports up to 25 kg per shelf and integrates seamlessly into various cabinet sizes, including end units.
Key upgrades to Trigon 2.0 include:
- Improved handling for simplified user experience
- Enhanced product stability
- Intuitive installation for manufacturers
This evolution reflects Ninka’s response to megatrends driving the market, particularly personalization and eco-conscious product lifecycles.
Sustainability Without Compromise: Trigon 2.0’s Carbon Advantage
The new Trigon 2.0 shelves are made entirely from recycled post-consumer waste, processed through an energy-efficient grinding method and produced using injection moulding technology. This ensures not only material purity and recyclability but also a major reduction in carbon emissions compared to traditional metal storage systems.
“We therefore consume 18 kg less CO2 per cabinet with two shelves and achieve an 80 percent CO2 saving,” explains Dr Johann-Peter Wulf, Managing Partner of Ninka.
This cradle-to-grave approach to lifecycle assessment positions Ninka’s solutions as frontrunners in sustainable interior design, especially important as manufacturers and suppliers across the kitchen industry face increasing ESG demands.
Qanto: Customizable Vertical Storage at the Touch of a Button
Ninka also showcased Qanto, its plug-and-play lift system that brings hidden storage vertically to the user’s fingertips. Designed for integration into kitchen corners, islands, and living room base units, Qanto supports a variety of applications and finishes.
With a configurator available at https://ninka.zone/qanto/konfigurator.php, businesses can tailor:
- Shelf quantity (two or three options)
- Application type (e.g., bar, spice rack, or utensil station)
- Surface finishes to match surrounding worktops
- Optional features including LED lighting and integrated sockets
A new application, Spice Qanto, is equipped with three trays. Positioned beside the hob, it enhances kitchen ergonomics with:
- Lower shelf for oil, vinegar, and spice mills
- Mid-tier half-shelf for spice jars
- Seamless access during cooking
For units with two shelves, the lower can serve as a pull-out platform for heavy kitchen devices. The optional socket enables direct appliance use on the countertop, while the visual continuity with the worktop ensures aesthetic integrity.
Strategic Outlook: From Functional Hardware to Value-Driven Solutions
Ninka’s latest innovations exemplify the shift in B2B kitchen supply from hardware production to solution-driven design. With growing demand for customization, ecological performance, and premium user experiences, the company’s offerings stand as valuable assets for furniture manufacturers, interior designers, and OEM partners.
By aligning corner cabinet storage with global trends, Ninka is not only addressing overlooked user needs but also contributing meaningfully to the circular economy and smart kitchen futures.
