A revolution is taking place in kitchens across New York City. As the city moves away from natural gas and toward a more sustainable and healthy future, manufacturers like JennAir have risen to meet the challenge of building high-tech, low-environmental impact, aesthetically stunning appliances with exceptional performance. JennAir’s Rachelle Louis and Peter Navarre showed off the brand’s latest in the all-electric kitchen featuring induction cooktops, Wi-Fi enabled wall ovens, and sleek obsidian interior refrigeration on the floor of The Real Deal’s NYC Real Estate Forum, giving guests a glimpse of the next generation of NYC kitchens.
“New York is in a phase of shifting to the next New York,” said Louis, who emphasized that designers and architects are “thinking of building homes that are healthier for people to live in and breathe in.” A big part of this transition within the city has been the move from natural gas to full electric cooking, a technology that has advanced leaps and bounds since the 1990s. JennAir’s induction cooktops have a high-end chef’s kitchen aesthetic and use electromagnetic energy to efficiently heat cookware directly, meaning that you won’t burn your fingers on a heating element.
This forward thinking, sustainable approach is complemented by JennAir’s distinctive design – crafted with authentic materials such as glass and metal while illuminated with gallery style elliptical LED lighting to emphasize the food itself. Navarre showed us the column refrigerator; when opened, the unit strikingly reveals the obsidian interior, “which really causes the food or whatever’s in the product to pop and stand out in a unique way.”
By combining intelligent design with sustainable production practices and an inviting, luxury aesthetic, JennAir’s latest line of kitchen appliances is poised to usher in the next phase of NYC kitchen design.
