Stylish innovations from appliances to cabinets

PARIS MATCH
Manufactured in a workshop outside Paris, La Cornue’s ranges are stars of the culinary world, known for their precision and iconic appearance. The Château Series is made by hand in a wide range of configurations, colors and finishes; the 120 Château Range is pictured. Available locally at Ferguson. fergusonshowrooms.com; lacornueusa.com

COOL CONCEPT
Boffi’s latest concept is Combine Evolution, an addition to architect and designer Piero Lissoni’s Combine kitchen system. Evolution includes a wooden table that connects the system’s modules, which are dedicated to food prep, cooking or washing up. Open metal shelving suspended above boasts a utensil rod and integrated LED lights. boffi.com

PRO STYLE
Bath-fixture manufacturer Franz Viegener has made its first foray into the kitchen. The Franz Viegener Kitchen Collection features a pro-style faucet distinguished by a contemporary profile and a curved silhouette. It’s available in chrome, nickel, gold, rose gold, satin black or unlacquered brass—in a polished or matte finish. franzviegener.com

NO HANDS
Blanco’s SOLENTA Semi-Professional faucet boasts a sleek design with a solid-brass body, dual spray mechanism and a flexible hose in easy-to-clean stainless steel. The SOLENTA Senso model combines these features with sensor technology that allows for hands-free use. Available at Poggenpohl in Georgetown and Chevy Chase. poggenpohl.com; blanco.com/us

VERY VERSATILE
The Wolf Convection Steam Oven combines the best of both worlds: Convection mode cooks evenly and faster and keeps food moist, while steam retains nutrients and eliminates the need for oils. The oven features a climate sensor for reliable temperature control. Available in 24- and 36-inch widths at Appliance Distributors Unlimited. subzero-wolf.com; buyadu.com

MADE TO ORDER
Interested in a made-to-order kitchen? Woodharbor Custom Cabinetry offers framed and frameless options in two collections. Pictured: A kitchen by designer Erin Fry of Kensington-based Cre8 Cabinetry Designs conjures an “updated traditional” vibe with Woodharbor cabinets in quarter-sawn, stained and glazed white oak and custom white. woodharbor.com  Photo: Peak Visuals

RETRO VIBE
Designer Pietta Donovan’s eponymous collection of handmade cement and ceramic tiles for Walker Zanger presents ’70s-inspired patterns in seven colorways. The tiles, which can be mixed and matched, come in tessellated shapes defined by sharp edges and rounded corners. Available at Architectural Ceramics locations. walkerzanger.com; architecturalceramics.com

FULLY LOADED
Miele’s G 7000 Dishwasher Series brings out all the bells and whistles with patented features such as AutoDos, which regulates when detergent is dispensed; an integrated PowerDisk that matches the amount of detergent to the selected wash cycle; and the QuickIntenseWash program, which cleans dishes in under an hour. mieleusa.com

IN THE HOOD
Italian manufacturer Verona recently introduced its Designer Ventilation Collection, encompassing a classic chimney hood (pictured), a streamlined hood and a built-in hood insert. Each offers four fan speeds, LED lights, anti-grease filters, time-delay shut-off and a choice of filtration systems; hoods come in four colors and a range of sizes. veronaappliances.com

MOD MOTIFS
Marble Systems’ Antique Tile Collection comprises more than 35 vibrant decorative motifs inspired by a variety of sources, from traditional Portuguese and Spanish patterns to dynamic contemporary designs. The glazed terracotta tiles, available in six-by-six-inch squares, are not intended for high-traffic surfaces. The Batik pattern is pictured. marblesystems.com

LIVING COLOR
Bold custom-color options are not the only eye-catching feature of True Residential’s 30-inch-wide Glass Door Beverage Center, which can be paired with the company’s other refrigerators, as pictured. Interiors boast antibacterial stainless steel, LED lighting and shelving designed for stability. An easy-to-use LCD display provides digital accuracy. true-residential.com
