From the elegant interior design over two floors to the carefully curated displays, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to elevate the lifestyle experience that Miele has to offer.
Our Experience Centres forge the link between dealers, consumers, and Miele, by giving opportunities to close the sale either directly, or through our kitchen design partner network, interior designers and architects.
