Gaggenau - The Essential Induction Cooktop
Household Appliance
Gaggenau, the luxury brand for professional grade home appliances, introduces its latest innovation, the Essential Induction cooktop. Seamlessly integrated into the kitchen's worktop, it represents the epitome of freedom, flexibility, and cutting-edge design for culinary enthusiasts. The new induction cooktop is distilled to its essentials: the LED 'dot', the worktop surface, and the performance knob. These elements are all that are visible. The result is a clear countertop that provides unmatched convenience and aesthetic appeal, transforming the cooking experience into a true architectural masterpiece.
iF Gold Statement
The Essential cooktop carefully avoids the intimidating impression of a ‘high-tech kitchen’. Gaggenau’s designers understand that the kitchen is a space shaped and sustained by human relationships, so they focus on the aesthetic quality of materials (glass, ceramic, and steel) rather than electronics. This is design is stripped down to its essentials, in humble service to humanity.
