Latest Version of ArtiCAD Kitchen Design Software Includes Unique Range of Wirework Storage Solutions

An innovative partnership between computer-aided design software specialist, ArtiCAD Limited, and Crestwood, a leading supplier of high quality components to kitchen manufacturers and retailers, is destined to take the world of kitchen design by storm.

The latest version of the ArtiCAD kitchen design software contains a comprehensive library of Crestwood's wirework storage solutions. This takes kitchen design to an entirely new level of detail. Designers are able not only to show their clients the external design and layout of their new kitchen in ArtiCAD, but also open up doors and insert different types of wirework storage, including chef's pantries, carousels, wine and vegetable racks. For the first time ever, customers will be able to see not only how their kitchen will look, but how it will work in terms of storage space and utilisation.

Exclusive to Crestwood, the company's ingenious wirework internal accessories have been designed with typical flair by a leading Italian manufacturer. With storage in the home at a premium, particularly in the kitchen, it is essential that space is used effectively. Crestwood's collection of wire storage solutions enables maximisation of the available storage space within the cabinet. Cleverly engineered to allow easy access even when fully loaded, the range offers a solution to suit a variety of applications. They ensure that even the deepest recesses of a kitchen cupboard can be turned into easily accessible, useful storage areas.

Dean Pallet, Product Manager at Crestwood is enthusiastic about the opportunities offered to designers by the new partnership between ArtiCAD and Crestwood: "I believe that the inclusion of Crestwood's wirework internal storage solutions into ArtiCAD will enable designers and retailers to bring that essential 'wow' factor to their designs."

As the next stage in the partnership between the two companies, Crestwood's drawer systems, which provide a range of clever storage options for rolls of foil and film, knife blocks, every different size and shape of kitchen cutlery, will also be incorporated into ArtiCAD.
