Fashion and Food Fuse in new Calphalon Contemporary Stainless
Toledo, OH (PRWEB) March 16, 2005 -- A recent survey on home entertaining reveals that the kitchen is now the social center of American homes, with 85 percent of consumers reporting that party guests always or frequently end up in the kitchen. In response to this powerful trend, consumers are focusing greater attention on the details of kitchen style. Now, style-conscious home chefs with a penchant for all things modern have a new line of cookware to accent their well-dressed kitchens: Calphalon Contemporary Stainless.
Calphalon Contemporary Stainless is the first high-performance stainless steel cookware to bring stunning, contemporary design into the home kitchen. Crafted from lustrous, brushed stainless steel and featuring clean lines and curvaceous silhouettes, Calphalon Contemporary Stainless expresses the very soul of modern style. Sweepingly sexy, sculpted handles and subtly domed glass covers lend additional panache to each piece.
We created this collection for people who are passionate about great design-people who get a thrill from having beautiful things in the kitchen," says Paul Angelo LoGiudice, Director of Product Design for Calphalon. LoGiudice notes that the cookwares sensuous shapes and smooth reflective surfaces are the perfect complement to the steel, glass and polished stone textures that dominate contemporary kitchen design.
Along with sophisticated style, Calphalon Contemporary Stainless offers the aspiring home chef sophisticated performance. The pans are designed to enable cooking enthusiasts to emulate the professional chefs they admire.
