From the latest launches and innovations to exclusive findings plucked from our Luxury Living Report, dive into our guide for everything you need to know about the kitchen today.
Under the Radar
The highly anticipated Built-Under Refrigerator Drawers are an exciting addition to Miele’s lineup of appliances. The unit comes as a set of two drawers that can be tailored to your unique needs, whether that’s keeping drinks chilled and ready to serve or storing produce at specific cellar temperatures. It’s the perfect addition to islands or entertainment zones.
Italian Job
New from Modulnova, an Italian-based company celebrated for its integrated design systems, the Artistry collection embodies the mood of kitchens today. Case in point: the line’s standout Travertino Titanium marble, which is rich with texture and the warm tones that interiors are currently embracing. Artistry’s materials and features are designed to live beyond the kitchen, creating a seamless aesthetic throughout the home.
Fine Fixtures
Beginning as a bathroom line, the Pardees collection from Newport Brass is now making its way to the kitchen. Inspired by the elegance of fine jewelry, the Bridge Pull-Down Faucet is shown here in the French Gold finish—one of an impressive 22 finishes to choose from. Designed to stand the test of time, every fixture is made of solid brass and hand-finished in California.
Expert Take
“Luxury homeowners are incredibly intentional about where they invest, and appliances consistently rise to the top of that list. They want pieces that deliver on three fronts: performance, longevity and aesthetics. High-quality appliances aren’t just functional; they anchor the entire kitchen design. We are seeing installs of multiple wall ovens or combinations of ranges and wall ovens, as well as multiple refrigeration zones.”

Big Chill
They say to go big or go home, and SKS’ new 36-inch Integrated Refrigerator and Freezer Columns deliver on size and state-of-the-art features. Available in panel-ready, transitional and professional styles, the all-metal interior boasts innovative AI features designed to keep food fresher for longer, and a 7-inch LCD touchscreen on the outside acts as a command hub for the contents of your fridge.
Iced Out
Not all ice cubes are created equal. Sub-Zero’s Undercounter Ice Maker sets the bar high and produces perfect, crystal-clear cubes designed to melt at a slower rate than standard ice. The brand’s first ice maker in over 15 years, its near-silent performance and panel-ready exterior make it make it a no-brainer upgrade for a home bar or kitchen.
Rounded Resurgence
Arclinea may have just celebrated its 100th anniversary, but its finger remains on the pulse of forward-thinking kitchen design. For the brand’s latest model, Kora, it’s all about the island. Shown here in Travertino Romano marble and available in a range of materials and finishes, the Kora island celebrates the curved line, transforming a functional kitchen workspace into something soft and statuesque— a true piece of Italian craftsmanship!
Expert Take
“Technology excites me the most when it comes to the world of kitchens, especially when it’s tied into wellness and sustainability. Better refrigeration will preserve food for longer, better-made appliances will last longer and won’t need replacing, while advancements in steam ovens make for healthier cooking. And still the kitchen needs to do more than just be a place to cook—when done right, it inspires us to live better.”

Fridge Focus
There’s no questioning the popularity of bold stone in the kitchen. Now, with an exciting collaboration between JennAir and Cosentino, design-inclined homeowners can integrate the look of stone onto their fridge fronts. Combining JennAir’s trusted performance with Cosentino’s Dekton sustainable surfaces, these made-to-order panels allow clients to match—or complement—their countertops to their appliances. Five Dekton surfaces are available, including Grafite, a matte, limestone-inspired finish shown here.
Wine Down
Behold the Vario Cooling Expressive Series Wine Climate Cabinet from Gaggenau. Not just any wine cabinet, this special fridge boasts a proprietary tempering system that chills each individual bottle’s varietal to the perfect serving temperature, whether it’s a bold Bordeaux or an easy-drinking rosé, alerting you when it’s just the right time to pour a glass.
Happiest Hour
Leave it to the Italians to create the most enviable kitchen accessory of the season. Meet Officine Gullo’s Wine Cart, a party-ready trolley that makes the act of serving wine a showstopper. Crafted with the brand’s signature stainless steel and brass, the cart is outfitted with bottle storage, an ice bucket, a glass rack and other wine accessories. Everything you need for the perfect aperitivo!
Hot Take
GE has debuted a suite of smart wall ovens across its brand portfolio, including its luxury line, Monogram. This 30” Minimalist Single Wall Oven is a workhorse for home chefs, with features that include a built-in camera, new cooking functions like Prime Rib mode and a built-in microphone that allows owners to give hands-free voice commands.
In Sync
It’s time to rethink your sink. Thanks to Kohler’s new Synthos Workstation, you can make your sink work harder during your kitchen’s day-to-day grind. The sink is available in various sizes up to an impressive 72 inches, and custom accessories include a walnut cutting board, colander, sink rack, drain cover, soaking bin and more.
Expert Take
“There’s a shift toward experience over spectacle: nuanced lighting, smarter appliances that are visually restrained, and elevated water experiences at the sink. Fixtures, lighting and appliances are being approached as a unified language rather than individual selections. Regional differences appear in attitude—some markets favor a more graphic approach, others lean into relaxed finishes—but the desire for refinement and longevity is consistent.”
