Gaggenau’s installation at Fuorisalone 2024, part of Milan Design Week, was crafted within the Villa Necchi Campiglio’s glass pavilion, presenting a unique spatial experience and, ultimately, a new way of living.
Enveloped in a semi-transparent fabric, the pavilion was divided into two contrasting but interconnected spaces, representing the equilibrium between what exists and the aspiration for more: one pavilion presented Gaggenau’s current appliances while the other unveiled the latest launches, including Essential Induction — the sculptural focal point of the installation, which was named ‘The Elevation of Gravity’.
Essential Induction is the result of an ongoing partnership between Gaggenau and Cosentino, which produces the Dekton® range of surfaces within which Gaggenau’s invisible induction range is integrated.
Innovation in its purest form, Essential Induction is a cooktop and worktop combined into one surface. The result is a stunning exploration of reduction: a single surface with nothing but a dot — and a refined surface control knob.
Essential Induction is available with a wide range of Dekton worktop colours and finishes, all of which can be customised with Gaggenau’s stainless steel or black control knobs. Below the surface, two different sizes of induction modules can be combined to accommodate a variety of configurations.
Released in Europe in May, Essential Induction will be launched in Australia and New Zealand from September this year, presenting a valuable step into the future of the home kitchen and induction technology.
