About us.

Revolutionizing kitchens for the modern world.

TERMINO is an independent tech brand based in Düsseldorf, Germany founded in 2022 by Elson Lin and Lily Ho. Our journey began with Elson's relocation from Taipei in 2019. This move was the catalyst in our quest to merge classic design with the functionality of modern living. TERMINO emerged from this pursuit as a symbol of adaptability, minimalism, and sustainability. More than just a kitchen brand, we represent a fusion of innovative industrial design and practical, everyday functionality.

our vision

Inspired by the timeless elegance of Dieter Rams, TERMINO is driven to craft enduring kitchen systems, marrying aesthetics with functionality. Our revolution in kitchen design integrates technology, design, and innovation, catering to modern lifestyles. With Elson Lin's extensive background in mobile phone product design, we bring a unique perspective, challenging the conventional and redefining kitchen spaces. We envision TERMINO kitchens as hubs of innovation, sustainability, and lasting beauty.

A more sustainable future.

Our circular approach through design innovation.

Crafting kitchens that last a lifetime — that’s our commitment at TERMINO. Our kitchen systems are designed not just for today's trends but for longevity, with high-quality materials and precise engineering to ensure a long, functional lifespan.

Shockingly, according to the European Federation of Furniture Manufacturers, 80-90% of EU furniture waste is sent to landfill sites, with only about 10% being recycled. We are dedicated to changing this narrative through a four-pronged strategy aimed at promoting a circular economy:

1.
Using Long-lasting Materials: We select materials that are not only durable but also sustainable, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

2.
Incentivizing Upgrades: Rather than discarding old models, we encourage customers to upgrade to newer versions, thus extending the lifecycle of our products.

3.
Providing Repair Services: By offering repair options, we extend the life of our kitchens and reduce waste.

4.
Reselling Parts: We facilitate the resale of parts, allowing for our products to be reused and repurposed instead of discarded.

Liberating the kitchen from the confines of tradition, our systems are modular, sustainable, and exquisitely designed for the ever-changing rhythms of life.
