Bertazzoni making headlines - "Bringing sexy back"

Bertazzoni brought sexy back
to the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show

Since its founding in 1882, Italian brand Bertazzoni has recognized the kitchen as the heart of the family home. But that doesn’t mean the appliances have to be rated PG. At the recent Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas, COO Nicola Bertazzoni acknowledged the very warm response to the company’s latest offerings. “One comment I keep hearing is: ‘Wow, that’s the sexiest appliance I’ve seen,’” he told Business of Home’s Lizzy Reisinger.

On-site at the event, Reisinger spoke with several designers visiting the Bertazzoni booth about the brand’s newest products and approaches, including its sleek matte colorway Carbonio, its eco-friendly induction cooktops and the customizable metal components of its Heritage collection, among others. As Sarah Robertson from Westchester, New York–based Studio Dearborn told Reisinger upon surveying the impressive display of gleaming steel, gunmetal gray and glossy red ranges, dishwashers and wine fridges: “We’ve seen so many advances in technology. Now [we] want to bring it home.”

Seeing Green Blue Star Cooking and HGTV Allison Victoria

LUCKY YOU!

ALISON VICTORIA X BLUESTAR

BlueStar® is collaborating with acclaimed interior designer and HGTV star Alison Victoria to launch and incredible color collection filled with custom green hues for the kitchen. Well-known for her kitchen designs and as the star of HGTV’s “Windy City Rehab,” “Kitchen Crashers”, “Rock the Block” and “Battle on The Beach,” Victoria’s reputation for her love of color, especially green, made her the unequivocal choice to join BlueStar® on a journey to develop this bold and bright palette.

 
 

“Green is the new neutral! Bold and energetic, soft and subdued, this color story effortlessly integrates into the fabric of any kitchen,” says Alison. “Your kitchen should be timeless and should still look great 10 or 20 years from now. Hardscape pieces like large appliances need to be a neutral, and then be layer-able, so you can add in more trending accents with towels, rugs and hardware, which are easier to change.”

This new collection, Alison Victoria x BlueStar®, features 10 hand-selected colors that cover greens found in nature, fashion and from Alison’s everyday life. Alison’s favorite things inspired the new BlueStar® custom line – from a Dior handbag to the cover of a personal journal, to a favorite emerald ring. BlueStar® was able to precisely match the palette to Alison’s specifications, creating a one-of-kind color collection than can be adapted to any kitchen.

The collection’s appeal is its relaxed versatility. Green is essentially a new neutral that pairs well with wood tones, crisp or creamy whites or bolder tones like deep blues, creating an optimistic, fresh space. The colors can be used across many different materials and can be applied on BlueStar® ranges, wall ovens, kitchen hoods or refrigeration products as a statement piece or as a pop of color on knobs.  Pair these on-trend hues with brass trim, Alison’s finish of choice, for a luxurious look.

Green comes in so many different hues…from deep emerald jewel tones to blue-green teals, to leafy tones, to olive drab, to sage, and on and on. Alison shares the inspiration behind the collection and how she customized 10 very different, distinct shades:

  • Emerald… like the gem that it is, this crisp green tone is the brightest, boldest star of the collection.

  • Prasino… meaning “green” in Greek, its name is from its inspired locale, Greece; very clean and clear colors that have stayed with Alison through her travels.

  • Ever…and ever. This timeless color was inspired by a keepsake emerald ring that Alison treasures for its shimmering color and sentiment.

  • Sunset Forest…reminiscent of the colors of sunset and twilight as the sun casts its shadow on the leaves. Soft, eternal, enduring. BlueStar matched this shade to the cover of a favorite vintage book.

  • Olive Mediterranean vibes with a Greek heritage. Think olive fields….a grand and glorious color addition to any kitchen space.

  • Lily…. a sublime color, elegant and sophisticated.

  • Aloe….is traditionally a mixture of orange and yellow color; Alison’s Aloe is a soft, playful chartreuse green with an electric undertone.

  • Highlandsthis forest green provides a depth and richness of color; unconditionally classic.

  • Hunter… calls to mind the freshly manicured gardens of Mayes Green in England, with its picturesque period homes and wonderful gardens.

  • Green With Envy…the standout, the BlueStar® 2022 Color of the Year is truly timeless; so green in depth it takes on the shade of night.

Alison’s color collection is available on all BlueStar® appliances.  Pair range, refrigerator, and custom ventilation together in any of these stunning hues.
