Häcker Kitchens, the leading German manufacturer of modern kitchen cabinetry, announces its partnership with Designhounds as a Founding Partner of the upcoming Designhounds Bootcamp Series. The collaboration reflects a mutual dedication to strengthening the role of education within the design process while fostering deeper connections between manufacturers and design professionals.
As the design industry continues to evolve, the need for substantive, experience-driven learning has become increasingly important. Through this partnership, Häcker Kitchens will contribute to a national program of immersive training experiences that equip participants with a more comprehensive understanding of product performance, construction and application. The Bootcamp Series will travel to key markets across the United States, creating opportunities for meaningful, in-person engagement with a highly targeted audience of interior designers.

Together, we are creating an environment where education is at the forefront, where quality, performance and deep product understanding can be fully experienced.”
Starting in New York City on May 15th, 2026, the Designhounds Bootcamps introduces a more immersive approach to product training, bringing together a curated group of brands in an interactive 1–2-day session that prioritizes practical knowledge over passive learning. Each training focuses on exploring the technical and functional aspects of products, offering attendees a deeper level of insight that directly informs their work.
