La Cornue has announced a new collaboration with renowned French artist and designer Ferris Rafauli. He has reimagined the iconic Château Suprême to add even more luxurious elements using walnut, enamel, brass, and leather.
“My goal was to respect more than 100 years of La Cornue heritage and DNA yet create a timeless art piece for the modern-day culinary connoisseur. The end result is breathtaking, the centrepiece of the home and the jewel of the kitchen,” comments Ferris Rafauli
