Pantone describes Viva Magenta as “an animated red that revels in pure joy, encouraging experimentation and self-expression without restraint; an electrifying, and a boundless shade that is manifesting as a stand-out statement.”
It is difficult not to draw parallels between this rich hue and design expert and author Sophie Donelson’s fabulous family kitchen which features cabinets and paneled appliances from Fisher & Paykel.
While first drawn to a crimson-colored range, Donelson chose instead to go bold with the cabinets. This deep red features versatile undertones of purple and brown. Fisher & Paykel’s Series 9 Classic Black Induction Range offered the perfect complement to the cabinets in black with chrome accents across the knobs. Recognized for its functionality and ease of use, the range helps visually anchor the kitchen.
Fisher & Paykel’s Integrated Column Refrigerator and Integrated Column Freezer blend seamlessly into the space thanks to the custom panel fronts while black hardware offers a graphic punch. Working together, they offer advanced cooling capabilities—from pantry and fridge mode for keeping fruits and veggies fresh to freezer and deep freeze for extending the shelf life of meats, leftovers, etc.
For Donelson, Fisher & Paykel’s Series 11 Integrated Paneled Double DishDrawer was a must-have, thanks to its functionality and flexibility. Compact in its size, this model gives users the option to run each tub separately, making it ideal for cleaning up after large family gatherings or more intimate meals.
