Blog Tour NYC Sponsor: Blanco

When I was researching Blanco America before writing this post I discovered an amazing fact - since 1925 when the company was founded they have manufactured over 40 million sinks. Cripes! As well as sinks, the company also make their Solon Compost system, which is designed to help people compost at home by storing your kitchen waste below the worktop. Worried about smells? Yeah, I was too at first but no fear - they are sealed by a stainless steel top when not is use the system stopping the odours from escaping. I think this is such a great idea. My friend has one in her place in Italy and it makes clearing up when cooking so much more efficient when it comes to recycling. As if Blanco's practical functionality wasn't enough, they've impressed Mr. Bazaar that bit more by manufacturing their sinks in stylish, subtle colours such as Truffle, Biscotti and Anthracite (Great names!)

Blog Tour NYC Sponsor: Du Verre

Having worked as a visual merchandiser and tipped my toes into a prop styling I know how important the details are in interiors. Never more so than in the kitchen. After all, you wouldn't want to ruin beautiful cabinets with terrible hardware! That's where kitchen hardware company, Du Verre, come in as these folks specialise in just that - kitchen hardware. Du Verre use a selection of different designers to ensure they offer a range of hardware that works in many different kitchen styles, such as the Primitive and Tribal ranges. Even better? The handles are made entirely from recycled aluminium, upping the company's green credentials. Using this recycled metal reduces the energy requirement needed to manufacture their hardware and by not producing new metal they are reducing the amount of greenhouse gases emitted. Gold star!

Blog Tour NYC Sponsor: Rotsen Furniture

Remember my post about a walk through the woods? Well it's the first thing I thought of when I saw that Rotsen Furniture were going to sponsor Blog Tour NYC. Rotsen Furniture create sculptural designs that integrate the natural organic characteristics of wood with a clean and modernist aesthetic. In fact, they start each project by taking inspiration from the design from the individual piece of wood itself. What caught my eye? Their natural wood stool, for sure. Why? I think it's the perfect piece to demonstrate the expert craft of Rosten Furniture. Full of texture and character yet modern at the same time, the stool would be in my home without a second thought! Rotsen Furniture's client list is more than a little impressive, including Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, Hyatt and W Hotels. Plus, these folks are dedicated making the world more beautiful and comfortable, as well as protecting environmental sustainability and the use of renewable sources. How do they do this?  They utilise reclaimed materials from decaying bridges, old barns and demolished structures, giving the found objects a new lease of life as their designs. Great job, guys!

Blog Tour NYC Sponsor: Scholtes

Scholtes are another of the kind sponsors for Blog Tour NYC. What makes this company special? Well, their appliances combine fine European design in American sizes with the highest professional quality. I mean, who wouldn't want a Scholtes' wine fridge and refrigeration drawers, right?! I'm often bending down to reach for produce from my compact half-height fridge, so the thought of having their refrigeration drawers really appeals. And whilst I'm on my kitchen appliance makeover, let's also add one of their sleek, modern built-in coffee makers and ovens to the mix, you know, just for good measure. After all, everything has to match! ;) You can read more about Scholtes' great appliances on their website.

Blog Tour NYC Sponsor: Miele USA

Another of the kind sponsors of Blog Tour NYC by Modenus is Miele USA. This is quite exciting for Mr. Bazaar because I do love my gadgets, especially when it comes to the kitchen. We've all seen my attempts in the kitchen in 10 Things, right?! ;) Anyhow, the kind folks at Miele USA are hosting a dinner for us at their showroom when we are over in NYC. It will be great to sample foods made by a top chef using their kitchen appliances. You too can try out their appliances at one of the special custom-built Miele centres - there are nine in the US and two in the UK. And if you are in NYC next week you can visit their stand at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show where they will be launching the Miele Table Artist, which will showcase regional food made by top chefs with Miele appliances. Thank you, Miele!
