Towel Warmers Go Designer
Monday, November 26, 2007
Just in time for chilly weather, Thermique’s glass towel warmers are creating buzz in design circles.
Say goodbye to those familiar chrome tubes and welcome a sleek, silent heated glass version. The electrically heated, energy-efficient glass panels are suspended between wall-mounted brackets. The glass can be customized with your monogram or other designs. Brackets are available in polished chrome, oil-rubbed bronze, brushed or polished nickel, and polished brass.
In addition to the wall-mounted panels, Thermique plans to add floor models soon.

Silgranit Sinks Clean Up
Monday, November 12, 2007
Silgranit sinks from Blanco give you the touch and feel of natural stone, with a little extra.
Made from 80% granite mixed with acrylic resin, the sinks are heat-, stain- and bacteria-resistant. They stand up to tough wear and tear—they’re unaffected by acids and alkalis, are non-porous and don’t absorb odors.
Unlike granite, Silgranit can be molded into variety of striking designs and functional features. Manufactured in four colors (white, biscuit, metallic gray and anthracite), the sinks accommodate extra deep bowls, large capacity and cutting board options.
They’re priced right too—you can get a double sink for under $400.

TV Finds a New Home in the Kitchen
Monday, November 05, 2007
If cooking dinner is interfering with your watching the latest “Jeopardy,” then Siemens has the answer (or is that the question?).
The avantGarde multiMedia ventilation hood has a built-in 17-inch LED TV screen. It also plays DVDs and CDs.
And you don’t have to shout over the noise of your fan, or turn the volume up to hear your favorite song. The multiMedia hood is a quiet 54 dB. The hood comes with a powerful 600 cfm fan, halogen surface lights and can be used as a ducting or recirculating fan.
