Boat Shaped Bathtub

Do you love the look of a free-standing tub but feel like they are all too similar in shape? If so, then this sleek tub from Zone of Absolute Design (ZAD) is for you.

Designed by Rossella Sblendorio for ZAD, the Funamori tub draws its inspiration from the small wooden sushi boats used in Japanese restaurants. The name, Funamori, by definition means a boat wrap, or a style of sushi shaped like a boat to contain items that would fall off of regular nigiri-sushi. Also known as Gunkan maki, kakomi sushi.

The Funamori tub is made from Adamantx, an innovative solid surface composite resin developed and produced in Italy. It is offered in three colors and in either matte or gloss finish.

After a grueling week of work wouldn’t it be wonderful to come home and drift off to zen-like relaxation in your Funamori tub?

Dacor's Voice Activation Oven App

I’ve written about Dacor’s Discovery iQ line before and received great response. Now instead of a new appliance, Dacor is showcasing a new remote App update designed to add voice activation either in person when the cook’s hands are otherwise occupied or via phone for the on-the-go chef.

The iQ Controller and iQ Remote app, which works with both Android and iOS, allows you have the oven preheated and ready for use as soon as you get home via a simple voice command from your car over Bluetooth.

“The modern home chef values the convenience that connected kitchen appliances provide, which is why we strive to offer smart features like Voice Activation and ongoing software upgrades that will actually improve the overall cooking experience.” – Chuck Huebner, Dacor CEO

Dacor’s 48-inch Discovery iQ range will retail for $12,000, with a 36-inch model priced at $9,000. No pricing information was available for the Discovery iQ wall ovens.

A featured call the Discovery iQ™ Recipe Box allows users to easily store recipes found online directly to the smart range and ovens. The Dacor cooking guide is intuitive and eliminates the guess-work a chef might have trying a new food or recipe.

According to Redfin, “when you have that much cash to spend, you can be picky. Interior design trends change every year, and buyers of luxury homes want the latest.” Continue reading “Outdoor Kitchens Expected to be Hot in 2015”
