Charlotte, NC (June 2005) The Westye Group Southeast, Inc. presents the future of kitchen design to the Carolinas with the opening of its new "Living Kitchen" showroom by Sub-Zero and Wolf. For more than 70 years, Wolf has been synonymous with professional cooking equipment for restaurants and hotels. Now paired with Sub-Zero, Wolf offers a wider array of cooking appliances that have been adapted for residential use. The precise control and easy-to-use technology of these kitchen companions is demonstrated at the Westye Group's new Living Kitchen showroom.  

The Westye Group re-designed the Sub-Zero and Wolf showroom to highlight features that passionate cooks appreciate and value most. A playground for design and culinary aficionados alike, the newly expanded 6,000 square foot showroom features live interactive and demonstration kitchens, a wine storage and billiard room, and an outdoor barbeque area. In addition, eight beautifully customized vignettes feature Sub-Zero built-in refrigeration, Wolf cooking appliances, KWC faucets and sinks, and Independent and Best ventilation hoods. Truly unique building materials and surfaces are a credit to the design work of RTKL, an award-winning international design and architectural firm in Miami, Florida. 

Located in the heart of the showroom, the interactive kitchen is outfitted with a variety of cooking products for different styles of teaching.  It’s purpose is not only to allow inquiring customers to “test-drive” products, but to enable people who have already purchased products to learn how to use them as well.  In addition to daily showroom tours, the Sub-Zero and Wolf showroom offers complimentary product demonstration classes on a monthly basis for those interested in the capabilities and function of the products.  To make a reservation, call 704-375-6025. 

Impressive in design and function, the showroom imparts educational interaction between product and design in a service-oriented environment, where architects, designers, builders, dealers and the general public can test-drive the finest home appliances.  To schedule a visit, guests can call 704-375-6025. 

“We are thrilled to expand our showroom facility in Charlotte,” said Brendan Malloy, Vice President of Sales for the Carolina division.  “This is a great opportunity for us to grow our business in a prominent market and to increase our presence in the southeast.”

Located in The Design Center Atrium Building in the Southend Business District at 127 W. Worthington Blvd., the Living Kitchen showroom by Sub-Zero and Wolf is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Appointments are recommended.  For more information, call 800-935-2617.
