Works of Art
And Culinary Genius
At Sylvarna, we know that when a kitchen owner is serious about their cooking and looking for some statement pieces in their kitchen, Gaggenau is our recommendation.
This kitchen features a downdraft extractor that automatically rises when cooking to remove cooking fumes when using the Gaggenau Induction Hob and returns to its seamlessly hidden position in the worktop when not in use. A steam and pyrolytic oven are built in to the wall units and are pieces of art in their own right.
