Bertazzoni, the family-owned company that manufactures ranges, ovens, cooktops and ventilation systems, will present its suite of cooking appliances at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Chicago, Illinois on April 24-26, 2012.
The company also announced today the upcoming launch of the Bertazzoni Design Resources initiative, a set of three new tools to help the design community incorporate Bertazzoni products into blueprints and interior design layouts.
“We look forward to connecting with the talented design community that attends KBIS year after year,” said Nicola Bertazzoni, vice president of sales and sixth-generation family executive for Bertazzoni, who will be present at KBIS. “This significant industry event marks an important milestone for us. We recently introduced a new suite of built-in products to the U.S. market which will be on display. With the design community in mind, we have also developed a new set of tools to make it easier than ever for our products to be incorporated into new construction and remodeling projects.”
On Display at KBIS
In booth number 722 at KBIS 2012, Bertazzoni will showcase a variety of products including the Built-In Line, Master Series, Professional Series, and Heritage Series collections.
The newest Built-In Line of wall ovens, range tops, cooktops and ventilation systems, which are offered in both Professional and Design models, feature the signature design of Milan designer, Stefano Giovannoni, and cooking functions developed by Italian chef consultant Roberto Carcangiu, to offer homeowners unparalleled style and precise performance. The line includes several industry firsts:
- Exclusive high-resolution LCD display with user-friendly touch interface to control the oven functions
- Dual diagonal convection technology for optimal heat distribution on seven levels
- The Assistant, a bank of cooking sequences uniquely customized for nine food categories and equipped with sensors to provide the cook with the optimal cooking results
- Segmented cooktops combining the power of gas, electric griddle and induction cooking in one flexible product platform
Design Resources Tools
Bertazzoni will introduce three new tools for design professionals to simplify the process of working with the line, which include:
- A website where designers can download specs, images, and 3D drawings for all the Bertazzoni products. The site will include a member-only section which will showcase designers’ work and allow them to share tips and comments with peers.
- A complete Bertazzoni e-catalog, available to all licensed users of 20-20 design software, the leading kitchen planning software solution created specifically for kitchen and bath industry professionals.
- A physical toolkit that will include the Bertazzoni product catalogs, a printed specification guide with all details necessary for planning and installing Bertazzoni appliances, and a disc with the 20-20 e-catalog. (Available summer 2012).
“Unlike other platforms that often feature kitchens staged by a manufacturer for a photo shoot, our new website will show real kitchens that have experienced the wear and tear of family cooking sessions, hours spent convening with friends over wine, and the occasional pasta spill,” said Paolo Bertazzoni, president and fifth generation chief executive officer of Bertazzoni. “Our goal with this site is to show our products in beautiful spaces that speak to the true lifestyle demands of our users.”
