Intricacy is at the heart of any beautiful, iconic design, and no one knows this better than La Cornue. Their range of handcrafted, luxury French cookers combines functionality and cutting-edge technology with elegant, striking designs that demonstrate exquisite attention to detail. When it comes to creating premium kitchen appliances, nothing is left to chance; every knob, handle, colour and embellishment plays an important role in expressing the cooker’s individuality, culminating in the ultimate kitchen centrepiece for any culinary connoisseur.
La Cornue’s Château collection is the embodiment of this elegance and refinement. Created in 1964 by the second generation of the brand’s founding family, the Dupuy’s, the collection brings together more than 100 years of research and development to deliver unmatched cooking technology.
Drawing on traditional oven designs, the Château vault ovens have solid enamelled doors, cast aluminium door seals and spacious internal airflow structure, all of which help to deliver perfectly cooked food – regardless of how often the oven is opened and closed. The ovens also feature impressive G4 technology to ensure each dish is cooked consistently, boosting the tenderness and flavour of every meal.
But beyond their innovative technology and excellent culinary performance, the true uniqueness of these cookers lies in the fact that they can be customised to suit your individual needs. Handcrafted in La Cornue’s Paris workshop, the Château has been likened to works of art or bespoke pieces of clothing and are the company’s crowning jewel.
La Cornue’s artisans – or compagnons – use generations of knowledge and expertise, as well as superior attention to detail, to create beautifully designed appliances that are tailor-made to authentically represent your cooking style and complement your kitchen. With over 8000 possible design choices to make, no two Château’s will look the same.
Start the journey by choosing one of six Château models, before moving on to more personal choices regarding the colour, trim and stovetop. Looking for something tasteful and classic? You might be drawn to an antique white, pebble grey or Provence blue with a brushed stainless-steel trim and brass accents. If you’re hoping to bring some personality into your cooking space, a shade of eggplant or almond green paired with a polished brass trim would be a bolder choice.
With an almost endless number of possibilities, the process of customising your cooker is an opportunity to explore your creativity. Not only will you end up with a one-of-a-kind product, your Château will also give you something far less tangible: an element of timelessness and sophistication that brings your kitchen to life.
