La Cornue ranges are made for those with the “spectacular” mindset. The French oven and cooking range manufacturer was established by Albert Dupuy in 1908. La Cornue ranges and cooktops are made of various materials, including polished brass, brushed brass, brushed stainless steel, brushed nickel, polished chrome and polished copper. Since they are custom-made, you can select the color of the enamel and trim. All are numbered and one of a kind!
What Constitutes a Mindset for the Spectacular?
The mindset for the spectacular sees artistry in what others would describe as mundane, everyday tasks. The quest for perfection is another quality that inhabits those with this type of mindset. Only they see it as made the way it should be made, using great materials, and of course no shortcuts.
Those born with the mindset for the spectacular are also very unique in their tastes. In other words, their likes don’t necessarily have to be linear; but top of the line, high-end is a must.
Terms like made to order, custom-made, and handcrafted are part of their everyday language, and they look at the words age and tradition as a priceless commodities.
La Cornue Has Built Its Success on Tradition
The Grand Palais 180 is in La Cornue’s Château Series; it is what La Cornue describes as the crown jewel of that series. This magnificent range stands in all its glory at 70.9 W x 27.6 D x 36 H, and starts at $56,300, plus freight/delivery fees.
La Cornue has three separate series of ranges: Chateau Series, the CornuFe Series and the CornuChef Series. These are all built on tradition, meaning very little has changed since the original was built, except for the technology or inner workings.
Obviously, these are more than just ranges to cook food on. They are pieces of artistry and can easily be left as an heirloom for future generations. Remember, these are the same La Cornue ranges that the French culinary geniuses created their culinary delights on. Since these are built with perfection and precision, adding age would only increase its monetary value.
Now that’s something the spectacular mindset can feast on!
