Fun, new refrigerators

I found this line of refrigerators from an Italian appliance manufacturer called Ardo . Ardo's website is in Italian and it's worth picking through. If you're on their home page, hit the tab "Prodotti" (Products). Once on the Prodotti page, hit "freddo," and you'll be directed to their refrigerators. Freddo means cold by the way.

Now, in case you're not in Europe, you are not going to discover an Ardo. Even if you do find one, it might not work on American modern-day. So why am I telling humans to check out their site? It's easy genuinely. Companies like Ardo are at the reducing edge of wherein the appliance international is headed. Ardo's a laugh new fridges are thrilling due to the fact Ardo would not deal with a fridge as a essential evil. Ardo spend a number of time and strength designing them and making them exciting. That impulse falls in step with the American kitchen design trend to make the kitchen the middle of the house. Ardo can also turn out to be coming into the American marketplace in the equal manner that plenty of different European brands have over the past 20 years. And despite the fact that they don't, the effect of the fridges pictured above will be.

Ardo's nearly fixtures-like refrigerators are in perfect maintaining with the concept of a kitchen as a furnished room used for enjoyable as a good deal as for food training. So remember that call kids.

E lmira Stove Works is an Canadian company that makes retro appliances. Until recently, their products have concentrated on wrapping modern cooking technology in an appliance that would have looked at home on the prairie in about 1860. In fact, Elmira still makes wood-burning cook stoves for the purists out there. But new from them is a line they're calling Northstar . Northstar ranges and refrigerators are an exaggerated return to the middle of the last century.

I mean, have a look at these things. They make me snort certain sufficient, but I'm not positive sure I want that kind of amusing each morning. But Florida being Florida, there is lots of mid-'50s structure right here. An an increasing number of famous element to do with a antique '50s Florida ranch residence is to take it again to the period when it was built. Finding Eisenhower-generation furnishings and lighting isn't so difficult. Linoleum is making its vintage antique patterns again to satisfy that niche. When it comes to home equipment however, you are left with seeking to breathe existence into actual antique home equipment or abandoning the concept of a duration kitchen.

Enter Northstar. Trying to make a move of it with 50-12 months-vintage kitchen home equipment may also sound like an awesome concept, but even when they had been new they did not paintings as successfully as current ones do. I don't forget what a ache non-self-defrosting freezers had been and thank you but no thanks.

Northstar's stuff is one of a kind even though. They are cutting-edge, efficient home equipment wearing retro clothing. Though they're no longer cheap, their costs don't move the road into outrage either.

Now if you notice the color of the gas range I'm showing a couple of inches above. I would call that Avocado Green. It's the first use of Avocado Green I've seen on a new appliance since Avocado joined hands with Sunset Gold and disappeared some time in the late seventies. I am no psychic, but the smart money's on a resurrection of those old colors.

So Ardo and Northstar communicate to a bigger trend of interest-grabbing home equipment. Expect that to be a trend so one can maintain well into the future.
