Yesterday, the German Kitchen Center in ADAC held its third-annual Oktoberfest celebration. While the event was much more subdued than the German version (no lederhosen here), it was a festive, all-day affair that doubled as a continuing education opportunity for Atlanta designers.

German Kitchen Center specializes in modern European kitchens and modern appliances. “Obviously having an Oktoberfest celebration makes sense for us," Trey Monroe, store manager of the Atlanta showroom, tells AD PRO. "It's just a fun event throughout the day where architects and designers can come in and earn some CEU credits, have a nice October-themed lunch, and just blow off some steam.”

The event kicked off with a pretzel-making demonstration, led by ZiL catering company. About 15 designers gathered around one of the demonstration kitchens to watch and help make a pretzel loop. Designer Simone Feldman and KCI Interiors intern Lauren Ogden even took places at the counter to knead the dough.

The day also consisted of presentations by brands that German Kitchen Center works with: Gaggenau, Cosentino, and German Kitchen Center general manager Iris Avraham. Designers got a midday boost from a local roastery that staged a coffee demonstration. At the end of the day, the group gathered around the kitchen island for a happy hour, where they sampled German beers and riesling wine.

Designer Kitty Tuttle attended the entire six-hour event. “I learned about things I wouldn’t have necessarily thought about unless I went,” Tuttle tells AD PRO. “I wouldn’t have thought it was a good brand for my clients who are more traditional, but I saw there are actually a lot of things they would like.”
