ILVE Majestic 120cm freestanding dual oven/stove; ILVE Majestic 120cm canopy rangehood
1. Ilve Majestic
Add elegance to your kitchen with a beautifully crafted oven from Italian brand ILVE. Designed for passionate home cooks and professional chefs, they look stunning and perform superbly. Each ILVE oven is hand-assembled by a master craftsperson from the very finest materials, resulting in a work of culinary art.
The freestanding ovens in the ILVE Majestic series feature quality brass burners, a 10.92-centimetre touch screen control panel, dual-control wok burner, electric rotisserie, precise thermostatic control, concealed grill, programmable timer, digital thermometer, and a turbo wave function that cooks at lower temperatures for less food shrinkage.
They also feature a special steam valve that eliminates cooking steam, allowing you to choose between dry or humid cooking. This means you can make crispy bread or a tender and juicy roast all from the one oven.
The Majestic series ovens can be customised to suit your cooking style and kitchen colour scheme. Take your pick from seven colours, including Emerald Green, Blue and Bright White, with your choice of brass, chrome, bronze or copper fittings; and five oven sizes ranging from 70 to 150 centimetres.
You can also pair your ILVE Majestic freestanding oven with a matching range hood for a seamless look.

ILVE 75cm Grigio Lusso electric built-in oven
3. ILVE Grigio Lusso
The Italians are always ahead of the curve when it comes to style, and ILVE’s new Grigio Lusso series of sleek, built-in ovens is a perfect example. Translating as ‘grey luxury’, the series is inspired by the latest Italian design trends, with a colour that exudes warmth and sophistication – and which we suspect will be next big thing in kitchens.
With minimalist lines and an eye-catching colour, these built-in models are ideal for compact kitchens or cooking areas in open-plan homes where you want a space-savvy appliance that will fit neatly into the scheme without dominating.
There are six built-in models available, ranging from 60 to 90 centimetres in size, including pyrolytic, combination steam and microwave ovens. Impressive features on the pyrolytic models include touch screen smart controls with 35 preset recipe modes and the option to save up to 100 of your own recipe presets, twin fan heating to provide even heat distribution for superior cooking results, and a soft-closing door.
To create a completely seamless aesthetic, consider matching the colour of your kitchen wall cabinets with your oven and finishing off the look with a matching Grigio Lusso grey-glass gas cooktop and grey island range hood.
