Exquisite French Craftsmanship: A Legacy of Excellence Since 1908
La Cornue’s story began in 1908, when Albert Dupuy in Paris invented the first enclosed, arched cast-iron oven based on the principle of natural heat circulation. This invention laid the foundation for the brand. Over the course of three generations, La Cornue has come to be regarded as the epitome of French luxury kitchen craftsmanship.
Inside the workshop, each piece is entrusted to a single artisan who handcrafts it from start to finish, carefully selecting premium materials such as cast iron, steel, brass, nickel, and enamel. This process can take three to six months of meticulous refinement, resulting in an unparalleled level of detail and artistry that has earned La Cornue the title of “the Versailles of kitchenware.”
The brand’s extraordinary craftsmanship has been officially recognized as an intangible cultural heritage, making it the only French enterprise in the kitchenware field to hold this honor. Silkart Group represents a range of top international kitchen brands, including Poggenpohl from Germany, Snaidero from Italy, and France’s La Cornue. Each brand has its own distinct style and character, catering to different cooking habits and aesthetic preferences, allowing consumers to choose the ideal kitchenware that best fits their needs and create their own dream kitchen space.
