DESIGN

Haute Couture in the Kitchen

For elevated aesthetics and functionality, interior designers and their clients seek out appliances and kitchen concepts from L’Atelier Paris Haute Design.

by ROGER GRODY

HOMEOWNERS SERIOUS ABOUT cooking, and interior designers who believe that the kitchen deserves sophisticated aesthetics, find their passions addressed by L’Atelier Paris Haute Design. The company’s West Hollywood showroom presents kitchen equipment—from copper cookware worthy of Michelinstarred chefs to showy $75,000 ranges—that balance refined design and elevated performance.

L’Atelier kitchen with custom finishes. Opposite, clockwise from top left: Luxury range; range with signature fleur-de-lys; faucet and sink; and built-in coffee machine.

L’Atelier CEO Ricardo Moraes and his wife, creative director Maria Moraes, co-founded their company nearly four years ago; they acquired its elegant name from a defunct French enterprise that specialized in commercial products. “The products have a French soul and DNA, but are redesigned and rethought for the American market,” says Ricardo Moraes of L’Atelier Paris Haute Design's current residential line.

The company is best known for its luxury ranges. The versatile Le Provençal series is available in bespoke and prêt-à-porter versions; the line La Grande Cuisine Professionnelle is for home chefs demanding restaurant-grade power. Both series feature distinctive French-inspired designs in three styles: Le Classique, Le Transitionnel and Le Contemporaine.

Each product is individually handcrafted to exacting standards, something Moraes insists that no similar enterprise does—including La Cornue, the revered brand that L’Atelier is invariably compared to.

Classic colors (e.g., English Green, Burgundy Matte, Noir Gloss) or hand-brushed stainless steel are offered as well as trims in copper,
