Keukenstudio Asto and LEICHT Amsterdam are owned by the same people (Benno and Martijn), but they are two different concepts. Both businesses are beautiful. It clicks with MAKUS. The philosophy and designs were immediately understood and embraced. They also immediately thought about how they could help the start-up MAKUS. Special and very welcome.

What characterizes you and your kitchen studios?
“Contemporary, personal and quality. Quality is in many facets within our organisation. From the choice of brands we work with to the way we serve our customers, from guided tour to delivery of the kitchen. We not only do our utmost, thanks to the fact that we have almost 50 years of experience and are a family business, we have a specific way of offering service, which makes us unique. That is also appreciated by our customers. With Asto we are a renowned name in the metropolitan Rotterdam and with LEICHT Kitchens Amsterdam we have launched a new concept on the market. That contemporary character is in our DNA and we show it in our showrooms and our way of serving our customers. The personal aspect is of course embedded in the family values ​​that have been rooted within our company by our father, the founder of Asto Keukens, and which we convey in all parts.”

What do you guys get the most fun out of?
 “We get the most fun out of thinking up and executing the most challenging requests from customers. We can translate almost all wishes into a feasible project because we do not design standard kitchens with the brands we carry, but custom-made. We are always looking and talking to suppliers to think along about this, how we can make it even more beautiful, more fun, more workable or more logical for our joint customers. And of course finding novelties that fit our values. Being able to feel the enthusiasm and then spread it further and create opportunities for each other and ultimately for the end customer.”

You were the first kitchen studio with a MAKUS: what made you so enthusiastic about it?
“The surprising and elegant way in which induction cooking could be presented. How a fixed item in the kitchen, usually dark, suddenly became an eye-catcher. In fact, a disruption in the existing range in terms of look 'n feel. In addition, the quality of the chosen materials from MAKUS is something that also makes our hearts beat faster. The great combination of aesthetics and quality made us particularly enthusiastic. Whereby the innovative character of the hob offers us and our customers a special and contemporary extension of our range and story.”
