Enjoy
Life With Lubé
Imported Italian Kitchens
Kitchens
should be fun, and that is what Lubé of Naples is all about. With
more than 180 different door and finish combinations, Lubé offers
the latest in fully imported Italian kitchens. Styles range from classical
to very contemporary and will be an asset to homes in the Naples market.
Their supplier, Cucine
Lubé S.p.A., is the largest kitchen manufacturer in Europe. This
world-class facility of 830,000 square feet has a production capacity
of 380 complete kitchens per day. “Dealing directly with such a
great supplier offer us important competitive advantages such as consistency
in quality and great pricing benefits,” says Werner Venter, CEO
of Lubé of Naples.
This important relationship
with the manufacturer results in 30 to 40 percent savings to their clients
over comparable imported brands.
Lubé of Naples has
an exciting 2,700-square-foot showroom, conveniently located on US 41
North in Naples. The showroom showcases the latest in European design
trends and styles. Here they offer a variety of unique accessories and
design solutions that ensures the most practical use of space in the kitchen
in very exciting arrangements. “In a sense, there are remarkable
similarities between kitchens in Naples, Florida and Europe – space
is usually limited and requires unique solutions. This is certainly one
of our strengths,” says Venter. The company is also a proud member
of the National Kitchen and Bath Association.
The Lubé of Naples
showroom is a collaboration with Marble Granite Direct, Inc., a well-respected
supplier of natural and manmade stones. This company has two more locations
in Denver, Colorado and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and offers both local
and European fabrication of their products. “We are also the agents
for a revolutionary new stone sealer with a 15-year warranty – this
can save clients much heart-ache and protect their investments,”
says Pete Spiska, president of Marble Granite Direct, Inc. The idea behind
the relationship with Marble Granite Direct and other professional affiliations,
such as Bill Smith Appliances and Top Solutions, a general contractor,
is to present a formidable team that serves the needs of clients in a
professional, efficient and cost-effective manner.
Business par tners, Werner
Venter and Giuseppe Sarnari have 25 years of combined experience with
imported Italian kitchens, specifically the products of Lubé. Venter
represented the product line in South Africa before introducing it to
the American market in 2000. Sarnari is still part owner of the Lubé
agency in London. Their international experience allows them to offer
unique design approaches. “I believe that a great kitchen must be
different, 4 exciting and fun. It must be practical and serve the household
for which it is designed. And it should cost no more than a normal mundane
design. Is it possible? We do it all the time!” boasts Venter.
The Naples market is changing
and is embracing contemporary design. Although Lubé offers a large
variety of classical cabinet styles, most home owners fall in love with
the transitional and contemporary designs on display. “We’ve
found time and again that the decision for a traditional design is often
influenced by a builder or general contractor who feels it’s a safe
choice,” says Venter. “European designs suit Florida lifestyles
perfectly. It works with the way that people live – in open interiors
with multiple living areas – it is uncomplicated and functional,
and it is less expensive,” insists Venter. “The misconception
that contemporary design requires large budgets has been fuelled by the
high prices charged by other importers.”
To prove their point, Lubé
of Naples offers their comprehensive design service and quotes at no charge.
Their standard invitation is open to all: “Try us. At the least
you will have some serious fun and get great ideas for your kitchen. Most
likely you will enjoy life in your Italian kitchen for many years to come.”
The product of Lubé
is also available in Sarasota, New York, Atlanta and San Francisco…and
about 51 other countries in the world!
