Mayan Metzler: Visionary Leader in Luxury Home Design and the Dynamic Force Behind the German Kitchen Center and TerraLux- with Marco Derhy
“TerraLux’s Augmented Reality systems map smart tech functionality to GKC’s luxury kitchens.”
Mayan Metzler, founder and CEO of the German Kitchen Center (GKC), has established himself as a prominent figure in luxury home design. His journey began in 2010 with a vision to introduce world-class German kitchen design and engineering to the U.S. market. Partnering with Leicht, a globally recognized brand for its quality and innovation, Metzler opened the first Leicht flagship showroom in Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The positive client response to Leicht’s innovative designs and versatile offerings laid the foundation for GKC’s national expansion, resulting in thousands of successful projects.
“Virtual assistants help in the kitchen with meal planning, shopping, and food preparation.”
Under Metzler’s leadership, GKC has formed exclusive partnerships with leading European manufacturers, enhancing its position in the U.S. market. Collaborations with brands such as Leicht, Team7, and Charles Yorke have enabled GKC to offer a diverse range of high-quality kitchen solutions. These partnerships have been instrumental in providing clients with premium designs that combine functionality and aesthetic appeal.
In a recent development, GKC announced an exciting partnership with TerraLux to integrate advanced technology into luxury kitchens. This collaboration aims to leverage TerraLux’s augmented reality systems to map smart tech functionality to GKC’s kitchen designs. The integration of AI-driven contextual knowledge bases is intended to understand and adapt to each household’s evolving needs, enhancing the overall user experience.
Metzler’s innovative approach extends beyond technology integration. He has emphasized the importance of creating extraordinary customer experiences, both in showrooms and online. By utilizing TerraLux’s advanced 3D mapping and visualization technology, GKC offers clients immersive virtual tours and augmented reality-powered furniture placement. This allows homeowners to visualize how a design integrates into their space before installation, bridging the gap between concept and reality.
GKC’s collaboration with Charles Yorke, a leader in bespoke English furniture, further exemplifies Metzler’s commitment to offering comprehensive home design solutions. This partnership enables GKC to cater to styles such as traditional and colonial New England cabinetry, complete with intricate moldings and inset doors. Charles Yorke’s fully custom approach aligns with GKC’s mission to provide clients with seamless, comprehensive solutions for their homes.
“The Spatial Network is a geospatial content management system.”
Sustainability is another cornerstone of Metzler’s vision. GKC’s partnership with Team7, renowned for its solid wood furniture and kitchens, reflects a commitment to eco-friendly design. Team7’s use of toxin-free, eco-friendly materials ensures healthier living spaces, contributing to a better quality of life for clients. This collaboration allows GKC to offer products that are both sustainable and aesthetically pleasing.
Metzler’s leadership has been characterized by a focus on team building and client satisfaction. He attributes GKC’s success to having the best team, the best products, and a relentless commitment to client satisfaction. This approach has enabled GKC to establish itself as the market leader in European kitchens in the U.S., with a nationwide showroom network and a reputation for delivering high-quality, customized kitchen solutions.
