the joys of summer
On these deliciously welcome summer days, I find myself inspired by friluftsliv. Yes, it’s another helpful idea that’s migrated from Scandinavia just in time to help us get through the rest of these challenging pandemic days. The literal translation from Norwegian is “free air life.” It’s about being active outside, connecting to nature, destressing (read more about it in “Style News,” page 7). Friluftsliv isn’t about major treks to remote wilderness – it’s about finding moments in nature no matter where you live. That was something the homeowners in “Nature Nurtures” (page 72) wanted when they chose to build their new house in a Montreal neighbourhood with nearby parks. The house itself embraces nature, with the city’s leafy canopy on view from two rooftop terraces (one even has a Scandinavian-inspired spa).…

winsome winners
Every year the design industry keeps a keen eye out for category winners at KBIS – the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in the United States. Winners end up influencing design directions industry-wide. This year, the Kitchen Gold award goes to Emtek Select’s Door Knob Collection. The knobs, stems and rosettes are available in three designs and seven finishes – go for a coordinated look or mix and match. And the Impact Silver award goes to LG’s Studio WashTower – a single stacked unit that has the capacity to wash and dry large loads but takes up half the floor space of side-by-side machines.…
counter revolutionary
The Thermomix TM6 is no regular countertop appliance. This sleek German-engineered machine can complete up to 24 kitchen functions, including chop, blend, broil, knead, weigh, sauté, slow-cook, warmup, ferment, caramelize, cook sous-vide, make rice, grind and stir. It’s got a stainless-steel bowl, mixing knife, precision heating element and an integrated scale. Plus, the downloadable Cookidoo app links your phone to the wifi-connected TM6, giving you access to more than 50,000 recipes. No doubt, the steep price might keep the TM6 on the wish list instead of the countertop of many an at-home chef, but in its favour is its ability to replace a whole army of countertop appliances. Whatever your budget, if you’re a foodie, this baby is drool-worthy. TM6, $2,099, thermomix.ca.…
