Faux Furniture Appliances

The La Cornue W Collection is Chic, Sophisticated and Practical

— April 13, 2012 — Art & Design
The La Cornue W Collection will undoubtedly deceive a few people into believing that it is a set of furniture instead of kitchen appliances. The oven looks like a large cabinet, the stove like a dining table and, well, the hood just looks like a more stylish version of a traditional hood. Made for modern homes with a luxurious twist, this collection is smart and sophisticated.

Designed by French architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, the La Cornue W Collection is as practical as it is beautiful. The Induction Table features four inductors around a central workspace while the matching hood is remote controlled. Both can stand alone or against a wall. The Big Vaulted Oven Tower does have storage both above and below the oven, making its cabinet aesthetic not so ludicrous.
