Thermador and Portfolio Kitchen & Home have launched the Thermador Culinary Studio with more than eight live professional appliances at Portfolio’s flagship store in Kansas City, MO.
Additionally, the Portfolio flagship store houses a kitchen by Gaggenau, also in the BSH home appliances family. While both BSH kitchen displays are featured in the store, the Thermador studio will be used as the facility’s showcase kitchen for hosting cooking classes, demonstrations and culinary events.
The 7,000-sq.-ft. store is the new anchor in the Pershing Building, a historic Kansas City structure in the Midtown area. “The pairing of Thermador, a brand known for its deep history of innovation in the kitchen, and Portfolio Kitchen & Home, the premier kitchen design resource in the Midwest, and one of our most valued partners, is a perfect match,” said Zach Elkin, director of the Thermador brand. “To be positioned in the Flagship Store as the featured appliance brand is truly an honor and representative of what Thermador stands for — real innovations for real cooks.”
