On June 11, the BONART showroom in Kharkiv hosted a presentation of V-ZUG home appliances. The Swiss brand's chef, Oleg Cheshik, presented the products and cooked for the guests. The event showcased the company's latest products, including a steam oven, a vacuum drawer, a washing machine, and the RefreshButler garment care cabinet.
V-ZUG appliances are built to meet demanding expectations. The brand's Swiss premium positioning rests on quality materials, innovative functions, and award-winning design. The company also takes environmental responsibility seriously and backs it with facts: its production has been certified to ISO 14001 for years, energy use per finished unit has been cut significantly, and its appliances are almost all in the top energy-efficiency classes.
Sous-Vide at Home
The chef also demonstrated sous-vide cooking. The technique was developed in France, and the name means "under vacuum". Ingredients are sealed in an airtight bag and cooked slowly in a water bath at a precisely controlled low temperature. This preserves the nutritional value of the food and brings out deeper, more nuanced flavors.
The method is popular in leading restaurants around the world, where the kitchen runs like a finely tuned machine and time is precious. Sous-vide does not make cooking itself faster - food cooks slowly at low temperature - but it lets a kitchen prepare ahead and finish dishes quickly at service, which saves time when it matters. For anyone who follows a healthy lifestyle, it is a valuable technique at home, too. We thank BONART for a great presentation.
V-ZUG in Our Own Projects
Beyond that presentation, V-ZUG appliances have become a regular specification in our kitchen and utility designs. The steam ovens and combi-steamers in particular appear again and again, because they solve a real design problem: clients want a kitchen that performs like a professional one without looking like an industrial space. V-ZUG's design language, in both the RefreshButler laundry systems and the cooking appliances, integrates cleanly into minimalist cabinetry without the bulky control panels that make many premium brands look dated within a few years.
Planning a Kitchen Around Premium Appliances
- An appliance tower. Oven, steam oven, and coffee machine stacked at eye level are easier to use than appliances under the counter.
- Ventilation and power. Built-in appliances need air clearances and dedicated circuits, so they belong in the electrical plan from the start.
- Panel-ready fronts. A dishwasher and refrigerator behind cabinet panels keep a kitchen calm; appliances with visible fronts should be chosen for their design.
- Steam and induction together. A steam oven next to an induction cooktop covers most cooking styles, and induction keeps the kitchen cooler and easier to clean.
We also recommend planning the laundry with the same care as the kitchen: a RefreshButler or a dedicated drying cabinet frees the main closet from steaming and airing clothes, which matters in compact apartments where every square meter counts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is V-ZUG worth the premium over other high-end appliance brands? For clients who really cook, the steam and sous-vide functions make a genuine difference in results, and the ISO 14001-certified, energy-efficient production means the premium is not only about the name.
Can V-ZUG appliances be integrated into custom cabinetry? Yes. That is one of the brand's strengths: panel-ready and fully integrated options let the appliance disappear into a minimalist kitchen instead of becoming a focal point.
Coordinating premium appliances like V-ZUG with a kitchen's materials, cabinetry, and layout is exactly what our kitchen interior and material selection services are built around.
