British manufacturer Callerton hosted an immersive event at the Blum Experience Centre, centred around collaboration and understanding of kitchen design.

The two-part event brought together kitchen specialists, Callerton’s retailers and key partners, to  officially launch Callerton’s ‘Right 1st Time’ initiative and exploration of an accessible kitchen at the Milton Keynes-based location.

Callerton answered a brief by Fitting solutions manufacturer Blum  to create a multigenerational kitchen for the Experience Centre.
