As Bertazzoni approaches our 140th anniversary, we’re proud to share our unique perspective regarding the kitchen’s transformative role in the home, with a special focus on today’s increasingly experience-driven kitchen environment.

The kitchen has now replaced the living room as the social hub of the home, welcoming family and friends to gather together for various activities throughout the day. This evolution of the kitchen into the heart of the home has accelerated an emphasis on form and has driven a rise in built-in kitchens with integrated appliances, which place the priority on beautiful form and seamless design.

Today’s built-in appliances offer remarkable innovation. Some of the standout aspects of Bertazzoni built-in products include ranges, refrigerators, built-in all-refrigerator columns, wine coolers, ventilation hoods, wall ovens, range tops, convection steam ovens, microwave drawers, and speed ovens.

With all this new technology, people are now cooking more often at home, and there have never been so many homeowners trying their hand at new dishes. The level of selectivity in cooking at home has taken on a whole new level, both in the sense of the quality of ingredients people are using and how that food is prepared. Not all cooking methods yield the same results. In particular, steam and steam assist ovens are gaining traction, praised for retaining food’s nutrients in the cooking process, and refrigeration has grown more critical amidst the rise of natural and organic ingredients and the need to preserve fresh food best.

And “better for you” cooking isn’t just limited to what we’re putting into our bodies — a growing number of Americans are seeking technologies with a smaller carbon footprint and better impact on the environment. Induction cooking is increasingly popular as an eco-friendly solution.

Today’s kitchens are also the latest symbols of aspiration and self-expression. Because of this, there’s a greater shift away from “cookie-cutter” homes and towards experience-driven spaces that reflect personal design tastes and lifestyles.

Stylish kitchens aren’t generic; they’re the imaginations of designers and homeowners, brought to life through colors, materials, textures, finishes, and more. Bertazzoni is the market share leader in color appliances within its competitive set and is seeing sustained popularity in its colorful ranges.

Whether their focus is on aesthetic or functional updates like wellness or eco-friendly-driven design, homeowners create spaces that will spark joy in their day-to-day experiences with Bertazzoni.
