Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Craft, Scale, and Soul: Bernd Radaschitz CEO Lanserring | 683 | The Future of Bespoke Kitchens
Q: Can you walk us through how a typical Lanserring project evolves from design brief to final delivery?
Projects typically begin with an in-depth design brief and mood boards, followed by cost and budget discussions; once a design intent is established, we develop detailed production drawings and integrate our in-house product designers with external designers to deliver a fully bespoke kitchen that evolves into broader millwork as needed.
Craft, Scale, and Soul: Bernd Radaschitz CEO Lanserring | 683 | The Future of Bespoke Kitchens
Q: How do you address material choices and the balance between oak, metal, and stone in a bespoke kitchen to achieve a warm, contemporary look?
Material palette is central: we curate a wide range of veneers, metals, and stones, and work with clients to select finishes that highlight grain, texture, and color; we also tailor finishes (oil-based vs lacquer) to emphasize natural material character while ensuring durability and integration with the design intent.
Craft, Scale, and Soul: Bernd Radaschitz CEO Lanserring | 683 | The Future of Bespoke Kitchens
Q: You mentioned expanding into London and New York and the idea of training and developing craftsmen. How do you manage the transfer of expertise across continents to maintain quality?
We grow the design and production capacity in London and Austria while training local talent in New York, using a combination of senior staff, on-site visits, and a rigorous development process to ensure the same level of precision and craftsmanship regardless of location.
Nick Cryer of Berkeley Place | 672 | Historical Preservation in the UK: Respecting the Past While Building for the Future
Q: Where do you source new resources and products for these complex restorations?
We stay within a network of leading suppliers and specialists through our supply chain, bringing in state-of-the-art cinema rooms, climate control, and advanced materials when needed, without trying to own every capability in-house.
Nick Cryer of Berkeley Place | 672 | Historical Preservation in the UK: Respecting the Past While Building for the Future
Q: What proportion of your work involves remodeling listed properties vs. new builds or infill projects?
The vast majority, around 85-90%, involve listed or period properties; we often integrate new build elements like extensions or back structures, but they always relate to preserving historic fabric.
