To mark twenty-five years of next125, a host of new products opens the next chapter — innovative, precise and minimalist.
Innovations 2026
Twenty-five years of kitchen design that aligns function and aesthetics.
next125 launched in 2001. For its anniversary, the brand has introduced new lighting, standalone pieces, colours, a new front and practical planning features. Everything below can be included in a next125 kitchen we design and specify for your UK home.
Lighting
LumiQ. Light you can feel.
With LumiQ, next125 has taken a holistic approach to rethinking kitchen lighting — from functional light for preparing food to harmonious ambient lighting for the rest of the evening.
We plan LumiQ alongside your cabinetry, so lighting positions, zones and switching are agreed as part of your specification rather than added later.
Design highlights
Iconic standalone pieces.
next125 highboard
The highboard in elegant oak caramel.
Precise design language, premium materials and integrated lighting that plays across the mirrored recess: the highboard is a genuine next125 icon. An onyx black foot emphasises its graceful stance, while a range of authentic surfaces is available for the support panels, rear wall and worktop.
A distinctive teardrop shape that combines function and design. Available in two sizes and a range of positions, it adds a touch of graceful class to any kitchen.
Alongside next125’s established materials, LavaTech is a new surface for the table. Made of fine stoneware and recycled glass, it has a smooth feel and an elegant appearance.
Every next125 colour is chosen to blend with the others and with different materials, for a finish that remains a pleasure over time.
The full colour concept 2026Essential coloursElegant colours
Low-key almond beige matt velvet AFP completes the spectrum of essential colours, while bold petroleum blue matt velvet AFP expands the elegant colours. Together with cashmere brown, sepia brown and sand grey matt velvet AFP, added the year before, they create a comprehensive colour concept with characteristic highlights.
RAL Design System plus and NCS for NX 510
Kitchens with NX 510 matt velvet lacquer fronts can now also be designed in RAL Design System plus and NCS colours, for planning tailored to individual requirements.
Continuous lines and cubic shapes are central to next125. Optimised integration aligns visible built-in appliances with the surrounding fronts, for an even joint pattern in line with next125’s design principles.
61 cm deep carcase
The new 61 cm deep carcase creates a noticeably larger worktop, with more room for chopping, cooking and appliances — and more storage space in the units and pull-outs below.
Top unit pocket system
The established pocket system now also works as a top unit. A worktop concealed behind the front and a continuous joint pattern let it sit within a run of units, hiding workspaces, technology and everyday accessories behind retractable doors.
Inward-opening door
Access an adjoining room without needing space in front of the units. Available 75 cm wide (single door) or 100 cm and 120 cm (double door), in heights of 206 cm and 218 cm, with a 15 cm open shelf unit behind the front.
Wood inserts for larder pull-outs
Custom-designed oak trays for standard and tiered pull-out larder units, combining organised storage with a warm, visually appealing finish.
Modern equipment
Order that is visually appealing.
Organisers for drawers and pull-outs
Variko
Modular interior fittings combining cork and black CDF: a cork spice rack and multi-purpose insert, CDF racks for pan lids, frying pans and plates, plus storage dividers and knife blocks that combine both materials.
Veneered oak drawer frames
Woodbox
Veneered oak frames with a fine finish and a pleasant feel under the fingertips, blending into the wider kitchen concept — high-quality, robust and visually appealing.
