When Germans Wolfgang Ahlers, André Reitemeyer and Kris Wolf first began collaborating, they had no idea that they would end up launching a furniture business. It was the early nineties and they were making a living throwing events in abandoned factories and warehouses in Cologne and they frequently found themselves using left-over, industrial furnishings destined for the scrap heap. Seeing the value in these handmade industrial pieces they hit upon the idea of launching their own business making long-lasting, well-crafted furniture and in 1995 Noodles, Noodles & Noodles Corp was launched.
Using classic early 20th Century design as their template the trio have built up a line of authentic furniture that includes tables, benches, stools beds, clothes racks and more. Our favorite pieces are the industrial looking steel kitchen units that combine old world craftsmanship with a modular template. And for those who can afford the shipping, good news, they deliver worldwide.
Above: The kitchen units are created from steel with pine counter tops. The units come in the original steel color or for an additional cost, a white enamel finish as shown here. Each steel unit comes in a basic format with the option to add the wooden countertop. All the pine wood is brushed and finished with a high quality natural oil.
Above: A sink installed in the Kuchenschrank Steel Unit; pricing starts at €1,190.00 for the basic unit without top. The units are fabricated to be narrower than the counter tops to allow space for the addition of water pipes etc. in the rear. Adjustable feet allow for a 2cm alteration in height as needed.

Above: The Kuchenregal Basic unit starts at €450.00 and features open shelving. In this version a stove top is integrated into the countertop. The large wooden crate on the bottom shelf costs €29.00 and is designed to fit between the wooden shelves.
