Interior designer Kathryn M. Ireland has been named the North American brand ambassador for appliance manufacturer AGA Rangemaster Group. This appointment is the culmination of a long history of collaboration between AGA and Ireland. The AGA range was a presence throughout Ireland’s childhood at homes in London and Scotland and is currently specified in her Los Angeles kitchen and French farmhouse.
“Having grown up with AGA ranges and, in fact, having learnt how to cook on them, it’s an incredible honor for me to be awarded the role of Brand Ambassador,” said Ireland. “Long regarded as the absolute gold standard of stoves and appliances in England, I have no doubt that the AGA brand will conquer the kitchens of North America too!”
As part of the partnership, Ireland will travel the U.S. and Canada appearing as a spokesperson for the brand. In addition, she will host events, from dinners to large cocktail parties, at her new 8,000-sq.-ft. studio in Culver City in Los Angeles. The studio, which provides workspace for Ireland’s design business as well as an onsite hand-printing facility for her textile line, has a full dining room that seats 24, a bar area and a fully-operational kitchen outfitted with a suite of AGA and Marvel appliances.
