Since 1925, Le Creuset has been at the forefront of colourful cookware. Its latest colour, Nuit, continues the tradition with a shade that brings a sense of elegance to the rituals of everyday life.

With its twilight tone, Nuit evokes the allure of long summer evenings – think candlelit dinners, memorable meals and conversations that stretch way into the night.

Its velvety gradient, shifting between black and deep blue, is paired with a new sleek chrome knob, bringing a sense of boldness to a palette that feels both timeless and modern.

Its deep, versatile tone effortlessly complements a considered lifestyle – one where design is intentional and beauty is found in the details. Whether paired with soft neutrals like Le Creuset’s Sea Salt or the vibrancy of Berry, Nuit brings depth, contrast and quiet sophistication to any setting.

Officine Gullo is renowned for their luxurious and bespoke kitchen designs, which merge innovation and timeless masterpieces to create one-of-a-kind kitchens that are fit for royalty… and Hollywood stars.

Nestled in the exclusive neighbourhood of Beverly Hills lies Officine Gullo‘s latest project – a Tailor-Made collection kitchen for Hollywood actress Zoe Saldana.

The kitchen, characterised by its iconic and timeless design, was seamlessly integrated into the home’s elegant and glamorous style. Luxurious finishes such as burnished brass, marble and steel blend beautifully with Officine Gullo’s exquisite craftsmanship to create a light and warm kitchen.

The kitchen features the Fiorentina 120 cooking range, equipped with six burners and a multifunction oven. Paired with the matching extraction hood, this is the ideal combination for a semi-professional kitchen in a domestic setting. The cooking area’s layout is further enhanced by a Green Forest marble backsplash and a swivelling burnished brass pot filler.

At the centre of the room lies the spacious island featuring side compartments, seating stools, and a sink for quick dishwashing during meal preparation. The marble worktop mirrors the material used for the kitchen’s backsplash to create a seamless aesthetic.

For the primary washing area beneath a large window, Zoe opted for a semi-recessed burnished brass sink with an elegantly designed faucet and mixer inspired by the nautical world. Completing the kitchen’s setup are a multifunction electric oven, a microwave, a wine cooler, a freezer, and two refrigerator columns, in addition to the dishwasher. The result is a space that exudes calm and tranquillity while providing warmth and sophistication.

We’re peachy-keen for Le Creuset’s new Pêche range.

Last year the colour experts at Pantone named “Peach Fuzz” as their 2024 colour of the year and it comes as no surprise that this warm, optimistic hue has filtered through into the world of decor and design.

Enter Le Creuset – a globally-recognised French brand known for its extensive kitchenware collection in a portfolio of celebrated hues. The brand has just unveiled its newest culinary masterpiece: the Pêche range, a delightful homage to this trendsetting peachy colour.

The new range is warm and vibrant, glossy and gradated, with rosy undertones that invite the eye and delight the senses. The range includes sought-after items in Le Creuset’s highly durable enamelled cast iron, including the brand’s iconic Signature Round Casserole. A variety of stoneware and kitchen essentials items are also available in this pastel shade.

“The result of nearly four years of diligent experimentation, Pêche is a new colour development that’s never been previously in market,” said Ben Paine, CEO Africa. “With its playful and elegant edge, Pêche further cements Le Creuset’s longstanding reputation as a colour authority – in the kitchen and beyond.” | lecreuset.co.za
