Race-Car-Style Appliances for Compact Kitchens - Remodelista
Here at Remodelista the obsession with tiny kitchens hits close to home. Inox, by the way (an abbreviation of the French, acier inoxydable), means stainless steel, and the company uses only top-of-the-line, high-nickel stainless, which has a durable, bright white shine. US buyers can purchase directly from Alpes Inox (be warned that these pieces are pricey–the most compact electric oven with a five-burner gas cooktop is €6,695). The two gas burners on this cooktop flip up so that the piece doubles as a food prep table. Several variations of the cart are available, and buyers can opt for a steel top or a wooden cutting board (shown in the previous photo). This all-stainless-steel sink has two basins with different depths, which makes it possible to position a dishwasher under the shallow side. An Alpes Inox stacked oven and beverage refrigerator stands next to a multi-drawer unit that features a sink, inset dish-drying rack, and cooktop. The gas burners flip up to create extra counter space as needed. Alpes Inox’s Washing, Cooking, and Refrigeration Column comes with a 60-centimeter-wide oven and spaces to insert a dishwasher and fridge. The same structure is available as a two-door wine refrigerator, a side-by-side refrigerator and freezer, or a four-shelf pantry. The at-your-service island contains a five-burner gas cooktop, a deep sink, and drawers on two sides. The top drawer is kitted out with wooden dividers for flatware, serving utensils, placemats, a cutting board, and knives. A rolling electric oven with its own shelving unit and utensils drawer.
