La Cornue W. Collection

April 19, 2012 by Allison 14 Comments

La Cornue W Collection induction table - via AtticmagTraditional meets modern in the La Cornue W collection of induction cooking table

Induction cooktops have been rising in popularity, and with good reason.  They use a magnetic field to heat what’s inside the pan, rather than the pan itself.  That’s the focus of the La Cornue W collection. Converting 86 percent of energy into heat, induction cooktops are fitting for a combo Earth Day-shopping post.

La Cornue has collaborated with French architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte who designed an induction table – unfitted at its finest.  Underneath the smooth glass surface are four inductors, each with boost function.  The inductive burners are laid out in an arc to provide a central workspace.

The induction table from La Cornue W. Collection is available in the U.S. via Purcell Murray.  The price tag is a hefty $26,500.

      I’ve emailed asking prices and date availability. I only discovered the line late last night, but searched for $$ this morning without luck.

    The W. Collection just premiered on Monday at La Cornue Milan. I haven’t been able to find a price online.

    Wouldn’t it get great instead of a chunky range? My problem would be where to put (hide) wall ovens… one reason I didn’t mind getting a range – didn’t want wall ovens. I hope we start seeing real life kitchens with the induction table. I want to see how people treat them – leave the space open underneath, or shelves for pots… or a spot for Fido to eat. I see a pair of vintage woven baskets with lids and leather straps for out of the way – yet close by – storage.

    Oh. My. Goodness. That is beautiful. But I could never keep clear and empty space under it… I know I’d need shelves or something, or things would probably pile up.

    The other thing, obviously is it offers NO storage or organization… So in a small kitchen, this would be wasted space?

    It’s definitely gorgeous. Just not for the way I do things (and I’m thinking back to when there were many fewer of us).

      But a range doesn’t offer storage either, just ovens. Even in a small space, I’d rather have “pretty” and give up the storage. I would have as a large a cupboard as possible and do a total unfitted kitchen.

        But if the ovens aren’t there, then they take storage elsewhere for things that, alternatively, might fit under the cooktop. I just couldn’t convince myself to leave a perfectly functional piece of kitchen empty! 😉

        I have decided, though, that I agree with Jane’s opinion below that big pantries could do well to replace some smaller cabinets… Especially uppers, which is a whole ‘nother discussion.

    The whole idea is to see the sculpture of the table. I wouldn’t want anything much behind it and — you know me — I’d tile the wall behind with pattern.. How gorgeous would that be?

    There could be drawers on each side and I’ve always thought that one big pantry style cupboard offers more space than divided smaller ones. But everyone has their own ideas.

    I don’t love range ovens. I like wall ovens. But this one doesn’t look like an oven — so I like it even more! It’s like a European baker’s oven and I’m betting there’s storage above and below. Cannot wait to see these in person.

    This really rethinks the whole kitchen in terms of induction. Custom units could be put in that are essentially counters. Very European.

      “Other pieces in the collection include the electric Big Vaulted Oven Tower (bottom storage tray and top storage cupboard)” You’re so excited about the collection you can’t see/read straight. ;D

      I like the idea of a pattern tile floor to ceiling behind the table. I had an induction cooktop from 1986 to 1994 – loved it. Only got rid of it since we were remodeling the kitchen and it was white. If Mr Shops hadn’t wanted gas, I would have gotten induction.

    Oh My! I think I may have found a new love. I could see that used as an island/table/everything surface in a sleek Manhattan studio. If my friend wasn’t currently looking at Connecticut real estate, I’d insist she needed to get one for her tiny Upper WestSide studio just so I could visit it.

    If ever do another kitchen, this would be exactly the kind of range unit that would make me consider going with induction. So cool!

    Don’t depend on me to read Allison. I get mesmerized by the pictures and the look.

    An oven tower makes so much more sense to me than a huge low one that takes a long time to come to temperature, longer to recapture heat if the oven is opened, bad visibility, inevitable hot spots. And the table does double duty. My electric smoothtop is similar — I can set up the griddle, the steamer or open out the Breville grill on there and use the hood.
