Tomorrow calling

Everything changes, nothing stays the same, runs the adage. This applies as much to evolving kitchen tastes and lifestyles as anything. To take advantage of technology advances and keep abreast of design trends, the first port of call might be an appliance specialist noted for keeping a watchful eye on the immediate future.

The Westye Group appliance wholesaler specializes in Wolf and Sub-Zero brands, both of which reflect changing expectations in the kitchen, says vice president of sales Rob Maxam.

"An example is the versatility of Wolf's latest appliances with new built-in and integrated options to suit a variety of price ranges," he says. "The Wolf E Series' inset installation option allows units to sit flush with surrounding cabinets or side panels. In essence, they look similar to integrated units, but are easier to install. Door hinges have also been redesigned to minimize profiles and further aid inset installation."

Another trend that Westye has picked up on is the convenience of wine cellaring in the kitchen domain. Gone are the days when that piquant 1973 Petit Chablis was a trek away in the cellar or the garage. Sub-Zero wine storage units now offer refreshment right in the heart of the kitchen. Their chic glass and stainless steel-fronted fae§ades provide an aesthetic asset to both classic and modern kitchen environments.

"Naturally, as with all our appliances, an attractive exterior is matched by hard-working technologies on the inside," says Maxam. "These wine storage units are designed to provide optimum storage for the serious collector as well as for the casual user. Every aspect of their design, from their tinted door glass to protect from harmful UV rays to their anti-shudder technology another enemy of delicately maturing wines is considered."

From cool storage options to demure unit profiles, Westye showrooms reflect the latest kitchen trends as they emerge.
