Oh my goodness. It’s the frameless ceramic Izona CookSurface, previously called Project Luna. Who would have thought you can actually make love to a gasrange? In fact, Fisher&Paykel, the appliance company, might take offense to calling their thing of beauty a gasrange. It's art.


Beauty + ergonomics always pawns clunky high tech. If you look at MP3 players, iPod’s competition, short on design, always cram media players with everything to compensate. But people buy design over clunk. All the high tech in Izona, including its patented retractable AeroInspiro oven, is seamlessly welded to design.


Verdict: If you decide to replace the Van Gogh with the Izona as the centerpiece of your living room, you can turn on and off the Aero burners for the amusement of your guests.
