Diva de Provence

The Diva induction cooktop DDP-2 may look unassuming, but it packs a 50-to-2,800-watt wallop, making this model more powerful than conventional gas or electric ones while using 25 percent less energy. This version has two extra burners. 885 Don Mills Road, Suite 207, Toronto, Ontario M3C 1V9, Canada; 888-852-8604; divainduction.com. circle 354

Whirlpool Corporation

The KitchenAid Briva in-sink dishwasher isn't satisfied with merely cleaning plates. Remove the dish rack and spray arm, and the 36-inch-wide stainless-steel unit becomes a sink; close the lid, and you have a food-preparation surface. 2000 North M-63, Benton Harbor, MI 49022; 269-923-5000; whirlpool.com. circle 355

Watermark Designs

With a higher spout than typical gooseneck fittings, the Industrial faucet is a study in urban chic. Redolent of sleek loft dwellings, it comes in such stylish finishes as pewter. 491 Wortman Avenue, Spring Creek, NY 11208; 800-842-7277; watermark-designs.com. circle 356

Wm Ohs

Rowenta

With the Jasper Morrison collection of small appliances, the eponymous British whiz moves into the world of kettles and toasters. Full of innovative tricks, he's given the line's all-in-one CT-80 coffeemaker a nifty locking lid that reduces heat loss. 196 Boston Avenue, Medford, MA 02155; 781-396-0600; rowentausa-morrison.com. circle 358

Poggenpohl

For people who want to live, work, and play in the kitchen, +Integration seamlessly accommodates office and entertainment technology.

Bulthaup

This manufacturer's kitchens get even more minimalist with B3, a steel-reinforcing system that's installed behind finished walls, allowing them to support heavy sinks, countertops, and cabinets directly. The massive units now float weightlessly above clutter-free floors. 578 Broadway, Suite 306, New York, NY 10012; 800-808-2923; bulthaup.com. circle 359

Sirius Range Hoods

Sirius introduces a spiffily contemporary collection of range hoods in either stainless steel alone or stainless steel and glass. Designed for mounting on walls or above islands, all units boast quiet, variable-speed exhaust systems, heat-overload sensors, and halogen lighting to illuminate cooktops. 1051 Clinton Street, Buffalo, NY 14206; 866-528-4987; siriushoods.com. circle 360

Hansgrohe

Back in 2000, Tom Schönherr and Andreas Haug of Phoenix Design created the Axor Steel collection of kitchen and bath fittings. Four years later, the line has received a makeover. This lav mixer retains a brushed-steel surface, but curves and angles have been streamlined. 1490 Bluegrass Lakes Parkway, Alpharetta, GA 30004; 770-360-9880; hansgrohe-usa.com. circle 363
