Fisher & Paykel's Contemporary Kitchen Appliances Emphasize Tactile Luxury

Fisher & Paykel has launched its Contemporary Style kitchen appliances, featuring reflective silver-grey glass and tactile physical controls. This line offers versatility for modern kitchens, designed as social hubs.

The Contemporary appliances are part of Fisher & Paykel's luxury range, alongside Minimal and Professional styles. They aim to help create bespoke kitchens with a consistent design language across all appliance types.

The line features flush-fitting ovens and cooktops with clean lines and silver surfaces, contrasting with Minimal Style's handle-free designs. It emphasizes user interaction and the kitchen's role as a social space.

Fisher & Paykel focused on a timeless appearance, incorporating tonal contrasts and considering user interaction. The brushed silver glass reflects its surroundings, changing appearance with light.

"The silver-grey glass finish was designed to create depth and subtle reflectivity," stated Adam Moody, head of industrial design (cooking). "As light changes, products reveal different qualities."

Designs combine finishes with machined dials, comfortable handles, and calibrated door movements for tactility. This is complemented by touchscreens and SmartHQ app connectivity.

The Contemporary line includes ovens, drawers, hobs, refrigerators, wine cabinets, and dishwashers. Appliances are designed for flush-fit installation in 60- and 76-centimetre formats.
