IN PARTNERSHIP WITH Hart & Co. • STORY Elizabeth Clarke
01. La Cornue Cooker
"The stove is the heart of the kitchen, and a stunning, design-led range cooker makes all the difference," says Belinda. La Cornue has handcrafted bespoke, artisanal cookers in the French commune of Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône since 1908. Each one features its classic vaulted form, inspired by the Paris Metro, and is a high-performing masterpiece loved by famous cooks, including Julia Childs. Fully customisable, it is built to last, making it a treasured heirloom for generations to come.
02. Liebherr Monolith Refrigerator
“This is the next generation of home refrigeration that combines cooling technology and 60 years of cutting-edge innovation and German engineering expertise,” says Belinda. Reaching an incredible 213.4cm from top to bottom, it boasts an InfinitySwipe touchscreen display, is whisper quiet, casts a gorgeous glow thanks to seamlessly integrated LEDs, includes a crowd-pleasing super-charged ice maker, and filters incoming air. You can even customise it with endless colours, finishes and size configurations to match your decor.
03. Celsius Plus
All-In-One Pull-Out
The world's first residential all-in-one tap, the Celsius Plus All-In-One Pull-Out boasts elegant design, five water types and a unique integrated hose system. "It's unrivalled when it comes to producing instant pure-tasting filtered boiling, chilled or sparkling drinking water at the press of a button," says Belinda. Its pull-out sprayer switches from filtered to unfiltered hot and cold water, making it fabulous for food preparation, cleaning dishes or rinsing your sink at all angles. Choose from a range of finishes to suit your kitchen's palette. zipwater.com
04. Smeg Omnichef Oven
We are becoming more informed when selecting a great oven, but with so many features available it is a relief to nix the decision-making process and have it all. Meet Smeg's Galileo Omnichef Oven, which combines seven incredible cooking technologies. "Smeg Galileo is the pinnacle of Italian design and innovation with three cooking methods – traditional, steam and microwave – all in one full-size oven cavity,” says Belinda. "Its exceptional technology allows a cook of any standard to obtain restaurant-quality results at home in 70 percent less time." Available in the Guido Canali-designed Dolce Stil Novo and Linea ranges, it is an excellent fit for any style or size kitchen.
05. ASKO Wine Climate Cabinet
Wine's taste and value depend on how it is stored. That it is best kept between 10˚C and 15˚C means kitchen refrigeration is too cold, making a specialised wine cooler crucial. “The ASKO Wine Climate Cabinet uses the latest design and technology to ensure the right conditions," says Belinda. "It's sleek and contemporary in style, but beyond its good looks are three climate zones, app integration, humidity control and LED lighting. It’s a standout.” asko.com
