There is a long tradition of fine furniture design in Ireland, from the exquisite<br />
Georgian cabinetry found in the great houses, to the exciting work of a new breed<br />
of young designers. All our Living Kitchens are fashioned from solid natural woods<br />
and infused with the classical elegance and craftsmanship of traditional fine Irish<br />
furniture, yet enhanced with the latest technology and presented aesthetically in<br />
any way you choose, tailored infinitely to your individual taste.<br />
The complete flexibility of our concept means that in creating a bespoke Living<br />
Kitchen, we can adapt the design to suit any space and conceal or reveal as many<br />
modern appliances as you wish. Your dedicated designer will work with you and<br />
your architect or interior designer to create the perfect <strong>kitchen</strong> down to the last<br />
detail of installation.<br />
Design House only undertakes a limited number of Living Kitchen commissions<br />
every year because we want to ensure that our service level is never compromised.<br />
We understand that these decisions are not taken lightly and so we are able to give<br />
our clients all the time they need to create their own Living Kitchen. Contact us to<br />
arrange a meeting to discuss your project in person. We look forward to getting<br />
to know you.

Bring your<br />
Kitchen<br />
to Life<br />
Experience the thrill of a professional <strong>kitchen</strong><br />
and savour the complex taste sensations of<br />
the finest wines when some of Ireland’s top<br />
chefs and Masters of Wine turn the Design<br />
House showrooms into gourmet theatres.<br />
Design House showrooms are fitted with full<br />
working <strong>kitchen</strong>s to demonstrate how our<br />
<strong>kitchen</strong> concepts and Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele<br />
appliances all work at first hand. Contact us<br />
to be added to our events guest list and then<br />
come along to see some Design House <strong>kitchen</strong><br />
drama in action.<br />
At a Design House gourmet event our showroom becomes a real working <strong>kitchen</strong>,<br />
giving our clients the opportunity to see our appliances in action and experience the<br />
ease of ergonomic <strong>kitchen</strong> design. Just like a party at home, the guests gather in<br />
the <strong>kitchen</strong> for drinks and look on while our entertaining host prepares to rustle up<br />
something scrumptious. Before long, the room fills with gorgeous aromas and the<br />
sounds of sizzling delights, popping corks, clinking glasses and the happy buzz of<br />
laughter and lively chatter – all the ingredients for another memorable occasion.<br />
Previous hosts of Design House cooking events have been two of Ireland’s top<br />
chefs – Michelin-starred Derry Clarke, chef and proprietor of the famous Dublin<br />
restaurant L’Ecrivain and Kevin Dundon, who owns and runs one of Ireland’s<br />
premier hotels and restaurants, Dunbrody Country House, in Wexford. We have<br />
also been fortunate to welcome to Dalkey the wine writer and Master of Wine,<br />
John Wilson, who has hosted several wine tasting events at our showrooms,<br />
enabling our guests to appreciate the unique capabilities of Sub-Zero’s superb<br />
wine appliances.<br />
Pictured: Kevin Dundon<br />
As well as hosting our gourmet events, we can also arrange private demonstrations<br />
for clients with very specific requirements. And new for 2012 we look forward<br />
to hosting Miele gourmet events in our new Poggenpohl showroom in Dalkey.<br />

freezer and wine chiller.

the main island work area while Sub-Zero<br />
and Miele appliances are fitted flush to<br />
the walls on either side.

units in Helen Turkington Paints to create<br />
a refined elegance, yet concealed within<br />
the framework of the <strong>kitchen</strong> are a number<br />
of powerful and sophisticated appliances.<br />
Designed for the keenest of cooks, this<br />
<strong>kitchen</strong> features both Wolf and Aga cookers<br />
plus a Miele steam oven.

a “wet” island housing a sink, dishwasher<br />
and crockery storage.<br />
The hand-crafted islands and units are<br />
painted shades of grey in Helen Turkington<br />
Paints and furnished with Design House<br />
nickel-plated handles, while the worktops<br />

marble, exclusive to Design House.

incorporates a flat screen tv, breakfast unit<br />
(complete with integrated espresso machine<br />
and toaster), warming drawers, a juice chiller<br />
and a beer fridge – all hidden beautifully<br />
behind solid American walnut.<br />
Right: A solid European oak <strong>kitchen</strong> creates<br />
a stunning space for entertaining. Built-in<br />
Sub-Zero bespoke wine refrigeration units<br />

Bespoke Calacatta marble surfaces,<br />
nickel-plated handles exclusive to Design<br />
House and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances<br />
complete the look.

Introducing<br />
Poggenpohl<br />
Pure<br />
Modernism<br />
Design House is proud to offer Poggenpohl in<br />
our contemporary collections. Germany’s most<br />
prestigious <strong>kitchen</strong> manufacturer has always<br />
been at the vanguard of home innovation – their<br />
unique materials, forms, functions and wide range<br />
of shades create the basis for almost endless<br />
planning options.<br />
Brilliant design, attention to detail and the<br />
latest in technology are standard features of all<br />
Poggenpohl <strong>kitchen</strong>s. Backed by a global network<br />
and international appliance brands, Design House<br />
can create a Poggenpohl <strong>kitchen</strong> for you wherever<br />
Poggenpohl is the world’s foremost luxury contemporary <strong>kitchen</strong> manufacturer.<br />
Founded over 110 years ago, the brand is now present in more than 70 countries<br />
around the world. Purity of design after the tradition of Le Corbusier and Bauhaus<br />
lies at the heart of all Poggenpohl ranges, where the architectural tenets of clarity<br />
of form and structure are consistently applied to the design and functionality of the<br />
<strong>kitchen</strong>.<br />
Three distinct ranges within Poggenpohl’s modernist collections – Artesio, Plusmodo<br />
and Segmento – bring different interpretations of the brand’s key design<br />
principles and present endless exciting possibilities to create a <strong>kitchen</strong> that embodies<br />
the essence of contemporary living – allowing the <strong>kitchen</strong> to blend seamlessly<br />
with the living space inside the home. Innovative concepts such as the Dining Desk<br />
recognize that modern living is all about flexibility by introducing a new freedom into<br />
<strong>kitchen</strong> design.<br />
Poggenpohl <strong>kitchen</strong>s can be designed to incorporate any or all of our range of<br />
iconic appliances. All Poggenpohl products are exclusively crafted from wood<br />
grown by sustainable forest management and paints and lacquers used in production<br />
are solvent-free.
DESIGN HOUSE 15<br />
Poggenpohl Artesio<br />
The stunning Artesio is one of<br />
Poggenpohl’s latest concepts in <strong>kitchen</strong><br />
design. Developed in conjunction with<br />
Hamburg-based starchitect Hadi<br />
Teherani, Artesio fuses furniture design<br />
with architecture, integrating wall, floor<br />
and ceiling.<br />
The design is defined by an innovative<br />
function arch. This produces an entirely new<br />
feeling of space and builds a visual bridge<br />
between cooking and living. The Artesio<br />
<strong>kitchen</strong> is available in an innovative range of<br />
finishes, including the back-lacquered glass<br />
pictured here.
DESIGN HOUSE 16<br />
Poggenpohl Plusmodo<br />
The Plusmodo <strong>kitchen</strong> is the creation<br />
of Argentinian architect and designer<br />
Jorge Pensi whose work is known for its<br />
timelessness, with an emphasis on the<br />
relationship between form and space.<br />
The transparency and openness of the<br />
Plusmodo <strong>kitchen</strong> facilitates an easy flowing<br />
transition between cooking and living areas<br />
and an architectural landscape of shapes<br />
and colours, materials and light.
DESIGN HOUSE 17<br />
Poggenpohl Segmento<br />
Minimum design with maximum effect<br />
describes Poggenpohl’s Segmento range,<br />
combining wide vertical segments with sleek<br />
worktops. Stainless steel and aluminium<br />
contrast harmoniously with the warmth of<br />
dark wood and satin lacquer to create a pure<br />
yet sensual aesthetic.
DESIGN HOUSE 18<br />
Poggenpohl – Optimising Architecture<br />
Utilising tall units and wall units that<br />
appear to vanish into the wall, the<br />
Poggenpohl integration system creates<br />
new room structures, quite different<br />
from the conventional <strong>kitchen</strong>, linking<br />
architecture and interior design.<br />
Here high gloss acrylic glass and shimmering<br />
matt aluminium fronts are framed by floor<br />
to ceiling facing walls. In addition to natural<br />
lighting, the satinised glass back panel can<br />
be bathed in different colours to a definable<br />
rhythm or set to a single chosen colour.
DESIGN HOUSE 19<br />
Poggenpohl Dining Desk<br />
Poggenpohl are masters in understanding<br />
contemporary living, as exemplified by<br />
their innovative Dining Desk which combines<br />
two functions in one piece of furniture and<br />
embraces the idea of the <strong>kitchen</strong> as a<br />
living area.
DESIGN HOUSE 20<br />
Poggenpohl Integrated Living<br />
From incorporating automatic opening<br />
and closing systems within all its <strong>kitchen</strong><br />
designs to creating new design pieces that<br />
unite form and function in special ways,<br />
Poggenpohl has always embraced the<br />
capabilities of new technologies to provide<br />
solutions that serve the user.
DESIGN HOUSE 21<br />
Poggenpohl – Design for Living<br />
Poggenpohl <strong>kitchen</strong>s are designed down<br />
to the very last detail. Brilliantly thought-out<br />
interior equipment means that surfaces can<br />
be kept beautifully clear allowing Poggenpohl<br />
<strong>kitchen</strong>s to combine effortlessly with other<br />
living areas in the home.
DESIGN HOUSE 22<br />
Poggenpohl<br />
Porsche<br />
Engineers of<br />
Porsche Design is synonymous with the best in<br />
precision German engineering – a marriage of<br />
passion and performance with technological and<br />
functional perfection.<br />
Sleek linear design is partnered potently with<br />
integrated lighting and the sensual qualities of<br />
anodised metals, glass, wood and lacquer to<br />
create architectural drama. Origins in automotive<br />
construction have given this <strong>kitchen</strong> a definite<br />
edge when it comes to integrated technology.<br />
Essentials<br />
The extraordinary Porsche Design <strong>kitchen</strong> is in a class of its own – absolutely nothing<br />
has been compromised to engineer a <strong>kitchen</strong> so pure in design and so perfect<br />
in construction. Form, function and production all have a unique clarity of purpose<br />
which transcends throughout.<br />
Unlike the classic fitted <strong>kitchen</strong>, elements can be positioned anywhere within the<br />
frame of a rectangle – the pared-back starting point for Porsche Design. Several<br />
frames can then be integrated to create a modular system – wall-mounted or freestanding<br />
– permitting an infinite range of applications to suit the user.<br />
Precision systems are at work throughout a Porsche Design <strong>kitchen</strong> and automation<br />
lies at its core. Units open and close without handles, responding to the<br />
lightest push and touch controls prompt appliances to spring to life, without the<br />
need for knobs and buttons. Developed with exclusively for Porsche Design, these<br />
appliances provide the ultimate in operating convenience.<br />
Only the most innovative high quality materials have been selected for production<br />
and their specific finishes are unique to Porsche Design. Anodised metals, beautiful<br />
natural woods and lacquered glazing are just some of the exclusive finishes you<br />
can expect when you choose a Porsche Design <strong>kitchen</strong>.
DESIGN HOUSE 23<br />
Porsche Design –<br />
The Ultimate Contemporary <strong>kitchen</strong><br />
Every element of the Porsche Design <strong>kitchen</strong><br />
has been pared down to its basic function<br />
to create luxury based on purity of design.<br />
Aluminium frames create the basic structure<br />
for the <strong>kitchen</strong> and customers can position<br />
cabinet elements any way they like.
DESIGN HOUSE 24<br />
Porsche Design –<br />
Designs Without Constraints<br />
Porsche Design <strong>kitchen</strong>s have been designed<br />
to create living environments which extend far<br />
beyond the <strong>kitchen</strong> as an area for working in.<br />
Open-plan structures promote the social quality<br />
of a living space and consistency of style and<br />
colouring creates fluid transitions.
DESIGN HOUSE 25<br />
Porsche Design - Entertaining You<br />
Just like every other element in the Porsche<br />
Design suite, the LCD module has been<br />
conceived to be a clear design statement<br />
in its own right. The built-in multimedia<br />
LCD module has been specially designed<br />
to bring moving pictures with sound to<br />
glass surfaces, meaning that the hi-tech<br />
screen can also be integrated in the<br />
<strong>kitchen</strong> work area.
DESIGN HOUSE 26<br />
Porsche Design – Material Perfection<br />
Alongside the typical sleek Porsche Design<br />
materials of aluminium and polished or<br />
satinised glass, two wood varieties are<br />
available for the front surface design to<br />
provide interesting textural and visual<br />
contrast within the <strong>kitchen</strong>. The unsealed,<br />
textured wood surfaces enhance the lustrous<br />
glamour of the hi-tech materials even further.
DESIGN HOUSE 27<br />
Porsche Design –<br />
Clearly Designed Principles<br />
Left: Forming part of an exclusive product<br />
family, the fully-automatic coffee machine<br />
adheres to Porsche Design principles. An<br />
electronic control system guides the user<br />
and has the facility to programme as many<br />
as ten personalised user profiles.<br />
Right: A sideboard with glass interior forms<br />
an aesthetic link between <strong>kitchen</strong> and living<br />
areas. Anodised in aluminium-titanium colour<br />
and lit by integrated lighting, the frame<br />
appears to float.
DESIGN HOUSE 28<br />
Porsche Design – Precision Appliances<br />
Porsche Design <strong>kitchen</strong> appliances have all<br />
been developed exclusively for the range<br />
by Miele. The induction hob shown here<br />
responds almost as quickly as gas but<br />
generates far less unwanted heat. Touch<br />
controls at the front permit individually<br />
tailored programming and the five cooking<br />
zones come with pan recognition technology<br />
that automatically adjusts the supply of heat<br />
to the saucepan diameter.
DESIGN HOUSE 29<br />
Appliances<br />
It’s All in<br />
the Detail<br />
Appliances are the workhorses of the modern<br />
<strong>kitchen</strong>. Instruments of creativity or purely laboursaving<br />
and functional, they are at the heart of<br />
contemporary living. In-keeping with its <strong>kitchen</strong><br />
design collections, Design House supplies only<br />
the very best appliances, legendary for their<br />
premium quality, performance standards and<br />
handsome appearance.<br />
Our three key appliance brands of Sub-Zero, Wolf<br />
and Miele need little in the way of introduction as<br />
they are all leaders in their fields, but we like to<br />
give our clients the opportunity to appreciate their<br />
qualities at first hand at one of our regular gourmet<br />
events in our showroom <strong>kitchen</strong>s.<br />
Sub-Zero needs almost no introduction as the most iconic symbol of food preservation<br />
in the World. Delivering the latest technology in refrigeration and freezing, food of all<br />
kinds stays fresher in a Sub-Zero appliance due to touch-control optimum storage<br />
conditions which can be varied infinitely at will. Wine too is precision preserved in<br />
Sub-Zero’s wine storage units equipped with zoned temperature and humidity control.<br />
Hand-built in America, Wolf cookers have been put to the ultimate test in professional<br />
<strong>kitchen</strong>s for more than 70 years and can be found in the homes of many of the most<br />
celebrated chefs. Wolf brings professional cooking capabilities into the home with<br />
remarkable temperature and airflow control to create faster and more consistent results.<br />
Over 100 years old, Miele remains one of the World’s most respected appliance brands,<br />
renowned for supreme quality, timeless elegant looks and optimum performance and<br />
efficiency. Miele offers comprehensive ranges of built-in cooking, food preservation and<br />
washing systems, not forgetting their ground-breaking integrated coffee machines and<br />
pioneering steam ovens, which can be incorporated into any Design House <strong>kitchen</strong>.
DESIGN HOUSE 30<br />
Sub-Zero – Keeping Your Food<br />
Fresher for Longer<br />
Sub-Zero offers a multitude of choices when<br />
designing your <strong>kitchen</strong> and is available as<br />
stand-alone appliances in a range of finishes,<br />
built-in with customized panels to blend<br />
seamlessly with your <strong>kitchen</strong> or integrated<br />
as an under-the-counter food and beverage<br />
storage unit in any location.<br />
Sub-Zero’s wine storage collection guards<br />
against the enemies of wine – heat, humidity,<br />
light and vibration, conserving bottles in<br />
independent storage zones, sealed and<br />
digitally controlled to maintain the ideal<br />
conditions.
DESIGN HOUSE 31<br />
Wolf – A Heritage Of Professional Cooking<br />
Flexible design enables Wolf appliances to<br />
be incorporated seamlessly into your <strong>kitchen</strong><br />
and multiple range-top configurations mean<br />
that you can tailor your Wolf cooker to<br />
suit your own particular style of cooking.<br />
Often called “the Ferrari of cookers” with<br />
an inspiring combination of solid steel<br />
good looks, amazing power and precision<br />
controls, Wolf delivers the confidence to<br />
tackle any dish.
DESIGN HOUSE 32<br />
Miele – Faultless Performers<br />
Miele appliances combine both a<br />
contemporary design aesthetic with renowned<br />
reliability. Synonymous with the fitted <strong>kitchen</strong>,<br />
Miele offers a comprehensive range of<br />
integrated appliances incorporating the very<br />
latest technology.
