Core features

The home collection pairs large cooking, cooling and laundry units with retro inspired countertop helpers for drinks, toast and food preparation. Built in pieces use geometry and a play of glossy and matte surfaces to act as architectural elements in the kitchen. Matte finishes take cues from natural elements to create calm and balanced sensory spaces. Warm soft finishes add elegance and harmony across iconic shapes. Cooking is extended by an XL air fryer with dual function, a multiuse grill and a microwave positioned around straightforward operation.

Our full take

Appliance maker whose small appliance range covers kettles, toasters, stand mixers, blenders, juicers and coffee machines in a 50s retro style.
