JennAir x Phyllis Lui Collaboration
"We’ve already put our JennAir appliances to hard work and they’ve exceeded every expectation. I’m grateful to JennAir for the opportunity to serve as an ambassador for their exceptional craftsmanship and design."
As an interior designer, I’ve had the privilege of creating many beautiful spaces for my clients, but there’s an entirely different level of emotion and precision when designing your own home. One of my latest projects, although technically a renovation and my own home, was in every way a new build in terms of its complexity, scope, and ambition. At the heart of it all was the kitchen, a large, luxurious space designed not just for cooking, but for living, gathering and celebrating everyday moments. For this cornerstone of our home, I was thrilled to collaborate with JennAir to create a custom appliance suite that blends seamlessly into the kitchen’s refined, sculptural aesthetic.
The JennAir appliances we selected include a stunning 36” six-burner gas cooktop, anchored beneath a custom architectural hood fan that disappears elegantly into the design. Central to the main wall are dual stacked ovens, perfectly positioned for efficiency and visual symmetry. Flanking the ovens are two 36” integrated refrigerators with matching custom cabinet panels, their interiors revealing a rich matte obsidian finish illuminated by soft, sophisticated lighting. Every detail from the powerful gas burners to the cool, dramatic interiors of the fridges brings an intentional layer of luxury to daily life.

The placement of the appliances was a deeply considered decision. We waffled on what we needed… more freezer space or more fridge space… In the end we decided to do 2 of the same units. By flanking the ovens with the refrigerators, we achieved not only a clean, symmetrical statement wall but also a highly functional culinary workflow. The fridges sit right where they’re needed for both prep and plating, minimizing steps and maximizing flow whether we’re cooking a quiet dinner for two or hosting a lively evening with friends. The central island, wrapped in a beautifully veined stone by Dekton, anchors the space with warmth and movement, while providing additional prep space and casual seating under the sculptural, modern light fixtures.
We also used JennAir for two under counter units: a dedicated wine fridge and a beverage fridge, both seamlessly integrated into the custom cabinetry near the dining and lounge areas. These additions have made entertaining effortless, keeping everything from a chilled bottle of wine to sparkling waters within easy reach, while maintaining the kitchen’s clean, architectural lines. Every material, from the brushed rose gold hardware to the soft, muted cabinetry, was chosen to complement the quiet strength and modernity of the appliances, resulting in a kitchen that feels equally bold and serene.

In the end, what we created is more than just a beautiful kitchen; it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, technology, and the life lived within these walls. My collaboration with JennAir allowed me to bring the same level of design thinking I bring to my client projects into my own home, and the result is a space that not only looks extraordinary but works effortlessly for our daily rhythm. It’s proof that the true heart of the home is one that is as functional as it is inspiring.
Our Kitchen was also awarded Best Kitchen Renovation ($150K-175K category) at the 2025 Havan awards.
