Sandra Boehler doesn't only test kitchen solutions. The functionality of Blum's latest developments is now being tested in all areas of the home. 'We're interested in kitchen users' needs in all living areas and in all our markets. To this end, we regularly travel to different countries around the world and observe how our product ideas are implemented on site.' Manufacturers, cabinet makers and furniture fitters are also invited to share their expertise. All these efforts allow the company to constantly come up with new product ideas.

Blum researchers have been investigating the needs of kitchen and furniture users around the world for years. Research insights are incorporated in the development of new products. One special method of research is to use an age simulation suit: wearers feel age-related limitations within seconds of donning the suit. We spoke to Sandra Boehler from Blum's Requirements Research Department and asked her to explain how the suit works and what can be learnt from it.
