Mantle by Signature Kitchen Suite

Mantle by Signature Kitchen Suite

Designed by Patricia Urquiola to house Signature Kitchen Suite’s under-counter convertible refrigerator, Mantle is meant to be seen. Conceived for open spaces where the divide between living room and kitchen is hazy (as well as bedrooms, hotels and offices), the freestanding cabinet comes in Basic, Vertical (shown) and Horizontal versions, and is clad in wood (natural or colour-stained) or Cimento tiles, a cement made from natural components. In Vanilla, Blue, Burgundy, Green and Sand, the handcrafted tiles lend the unit a sculptural look.

“New Generation of Cooling” by Gaggenau

"New Generation of Cooling" by Gaggenau Appliances

The “new generation of cooling” from Gaggenau is a sophisticated fridge–freezer that can be seamlessly integrated (with or without handles) for a furniture-like appearance. The dark brushed stainless-steel interior with aluminum-framed drawers is meticulously built for durability, and five distinct climate zones keep all foods fresh for longer; an advanced lighting system adapts to frequent actions, and the Home Connect app can check for contents via cameras and adjust settings.

From a design perspective, its finely crafted stainless-steel and glass construction with halo illuminated dials makes for a commanding presence in any modern space.

The neutral tone has a lovely glossy finish and effortlessly complements a range of styles, from modern and understated to traditional and eclectic.
