SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 27, 2025 – Ninkaplast GmbH, a leading German manufacturer of injection-molded plastic components for the kitchen and furniture industry, has marked a strategic milestone at Interzum 2025 by relaunching its iconic kitchen scoop under the new name "Konda" and unveiling an expanded line-up of its highly popular “cuisio” drawer organizers.
These launches underscore Ninka’s continued investment in ergonomic design, modularity, and functional aesthetics, all while meeting growing global demand for space-saving and sustainable kitchen solutions.
‘Konda’: A Smart Return to Functional Roots
Seventy years after introducing the original kitchen scoop, Ninka returns to its heritage with a completely redesigned product that reflects the evolving needs of today’s households. "Konda" is more than a storage container — it is a compact, ergonomic, and sustainable solution tailored to the rhythm of modern kitchens.
Developed under the guiding principle “compact design, round solution,” the "Konda" containers are shaped in an ergonomic teardrop design and are bundled in space-saving three- or five-piece sets. These are custom-molded to fit seamlessly into cabinet-specific shelving or standard 473 mm deep pull-out drawers, making them ideal for both tall and base units.
Key features include:
- 1.6-liter capacity, ideal for common dry goods like flour and sugar
- Crystal-clear, grained plastic for easy content visibility and secure grip
- Airtight sealing lids to ensure long-lasting freshness
- Non-slip, cabinet-specific mould integration
- 100% recyclable, food-safe, and durable material
The name "Konda" pays homage to renowned organization expert Marie Kondō, whose principles of structured, minimalist living resonate with Ninka’s vision. As noted in the release, “Konda is recommended as a practical accessory for shelves and pull-outs, not only to save space and preserve supplies for a long time, but also to store them neatly.”
‘cuisio’: Enhanced Modularity Meets Seamless Elegance
Complementing the "Konda" scoop, Ninka also showcased significant upgrades to its “cuisio” drawer organizer series — a staple in modern kitchen ergonomics. Previously available only in 500 mm depth, the “cuisio” range now includes 400 mm, 450 mm, 550 mm, and 600 mm variants, all injection-molded from a single form.
This development ensures:
- Seamless, full-surface design with constant wall thickness
- Easy-to-clean, hygienic finish without edges or joins
- Precision fit for the narrow-frame look of contemporary drawers
- Visual harmony and functional elegance
The expanded color and profile options — translucent black, white, or graphite shells paired with connecting profiles in stainless steel, aluminum, black, gold, or newly introduced champagne — provide unmatched design flexibility for kitchen furniture manufacturers and interior designers.
Strategic Relevance and Industry Positioning
With sustainability, modularity, and functional design emerging as key trends in kitchen furniture, Ninka’s dual product announcement at Interzum 2025 reflects a strategic alignment with market needs. The “Konda” scoop addresses consumer demands for smart storage and visual order, while the “cuisio” series expansion offers kitchen makers customizable and elegant drawer solutions adaptable to diverse market segments.
