Fire up and pop the clutch on this high-performance kitchen. When German kitchen icon Poggenpohl chose Calgary for its first corporate-designed concept studio, local foodies and design aficionados were gleeful. With the launch of its newest kitchen concept, you can soon throw gearheads to the growing legion of fans. The Porsche Design P7340 may be the most important tool for bringing men into the kitchen since cheese was first put into an aerosol can. Distinguished by its innovative framework, functional design and purist styling, the kitchen also features a state-of-the-art audio visual system, which lets you tune in to the Food Network or Speed TV. It also features multi-functional lighting, and cabinets that open at the push of a finger, thereby eliminating the need for handles. No word yet on zero-to- 60 times.—Karen Ashbee
