Modern kitchen with bank of ovens, induction cooktop and French Door refrigerator

Behind every great kitchen is a designer who understands that the aesthetics must be matched by high functionality.

For Melanie Craig of Melanie Craig Design, it's a no-brainer when it comes to choosing kitchen appliances she always recommends Fisher & Paykel products.

"I'm a Kiwi at heart, and I like to support New Zealand companies," she says. "But it goes further than that. Fisher & Paykel's cooking philosophy is aligned with New Zealanders and the way we like to cook. These appliances are designed for our market. I also appreciate their sophisticated looks."

For this kitchen, Craig specified a Fisher & Paykel French Door refrigerator with Ice & Water. A stainless steel trim kit provides a seamless edging detail.

The kitchen also features the Fisher & Paykel Companion Series 60cm oven, compact oven and steam oven. These are positioned at waist height within a cabinet, so dishes can be removed easily and placed directly onto a heat-resistant surface.

A Fisher & Paykel induction cooktop provides fast, energy-efficient cooking, while steam and odours are removed quickly and efficiently by a power pack. Two single DishDrawer dishwashers are another ergonomic solution.
