Gaggenau's newly launched 200 series ceiling ventilation (from $2,600) has quietly bold variationsfree-hanging, downdraftthat are more akin to art installation than vent hood. gaggenau.com

Ikea's portable induction cooktop, Tillreda ($69), is mini, muscly and on the move. Set it up in a small space, use it as an extra cooking station for a big party or carry it back and forth to the cabin. ikea.ca
The redesigned Masterpiece collection by Thermador (from $2,969) fits seamlessly into cabinetry and features glass doors and control panels, diamond-bevelled edges and flush installation. coastappliances.com
Designer Pick: Café range ($4,899), cafeappliances.com
My current appliance crush has to be the Café line of appliances in matte white with the brushed bronze hardware. This particular model [the 30-inch, slide-in, front control induction and convection double oven range] is absolutely stunningand currently has me swooning as we're using it in an upcoming kitchen renovation. The matte white is such a fun, fresh finish for a modern kitchen, and the warmth of the bronze is a beautiful contrast. Who knew appliances could be so beautiful?Diana Tidswell, co-founder, Kresswell Interiors, Edmonton, kresswellinteriors.com
