Welcome to our BLANCO America and Modenus Tweet Up. It's great to have everybody here. It's an excellent turn out and I'm really really excited to see so many faces.
Tweet Up people are you all here?
That's the kind of noise we wanted to have!
Hi everybody I'm Christy Emens, I'm the communications manager for BLANCO, and we just want to thank you
for coming to our Tweet Up today.
We're very excited that you're all here.
If you take one thing away from this Tweet Up today,
we want you to have the impression and want you to know that BLANCO
is the ultimate designer resource when it comes to the
kitchen. We have the most,
the largest product portfolio,
the most innovative products.
We have the most cutting-edge designs, and I want to tell you a little bit about those
designs today.
There's a few trends that we have here today in our booth. The first one
is the sink as a
part of the living kitchen, a space saving sink if you will.
We've got a concept product, which is here behind me called our
Crystalline.
This is actually not available in the US, but it is a
concept product and you're seeing it here for the first-time today at ICFF.
Again, it's a space saving product. It features an integrated cutting board that goes over top of the sink. Another trend that we're seeing is
the professional style product, and
a great evidence of that is our CULINA faucet which is new this year. It has a sleek closed coil and a magnetic hand spring.
So it's a very sophisticated and sleek design. It is behind me right here on this sink,
so make sure you see that. And the final trend is
color. That's my favorite trend.
Color is very hot right now.
BLANCO is actually the leader in color, and we're the color innovator in this category. We've got our
Silgranit II sinks, which come in 7 different colors.
They're over in the far corner behind me.
Our newest color is called truffle. It's a beautiful, versatile
taupe color. It's kind of a grey-brown and it goes with cool and warm color tones in the kitchen.
Make sure to check out "truffle." It is very exciting, and very hot right now. Speaking of color,
we also have a very exciting announcement. We have a new app, a color app coming for iPad.
This is launching very soon, we're partnering with House Beautiful magazine
to launch this app. Again,
it will be available very soon, but this app actually allows you to choose
paint colors to match your countertop and your sink color together. That's all I have
today. Thank you on behalf of BLANCO.
We're very excited that you're here at the Tweet Up.
Please enjoy some Truffltinis and mimosas, also
don't forget to check us out online. We have a Facebook page now, we're also
on twitter as you know, and YouTube. So thank you again.
And cheers to everybody!
