One of the new cooktop’s highlights is its PowerFlex zone that provides precise and effective heat, while giving you the option to cook with large pans that might need an extra boost of power.

The main bathroom, with a prominently placed soaking tub, is a restorative haven within the home.

The luminous space features ceramic floor tile from Ceramic Technics in Ecco Mineral Stone 2.0, Wilsonart quartz counters in Rio Upano, and a white LED sconce by StudioM. The white oak vanity was custom designed by OPEN For Humans.

Japan-based AtMa’s J39.5 is a series of chairs made from reassembled parts of the J39 chair, originally designed by Børge Mogensen.
