Where are La Cornue ranges made?

Every Château range is individually handcrafted to order in Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône, France, just outside Paris. CornuFé ranges are manufactured in England and then finished and inspected at the La Cornue factory in France before being shipped to their final destination.

What is the difference between the Château and CornuFé Series?

The Château Series is La Cornue’s fully customizable collection, offering an extensive selection of sizes, colors, trims, cooking configurations, and specialized cooking options. The CornuFé Series offers the distinctive appearance and performance of La Cornue in a more standardized collection with curated sizes, colors, trims, and cooking configurations.

How long does it take to receive a La Cornue range?

Lead times vary according to the series, model, finish, and level of customization selected. Because Château ranges are individually handcrafted to order, they generally require a longer production period. We will provide the current estimated lead time when preparing your quotation.

Can I customize my La Cornue range?

Yes. Château ranges offer an extraordinary degree of customization, including enamel colors, metal trims, cooktop configurations, fuel types, ovens, induction, teppanyaki, lava-rock grills, and other specialized cooking options.

CornuFé ranges are available in a curated selection of established sizes, colors, trim finishes, and cooking configurations.

Can I choose any color?

The Château Series is available in an extensive palette of enamel colors, and custom colors may also be available upon request. CornuFé ranges are offered in a curated collection of standard colors.

What trim finishes are available?

Available trim finishes vary by series and model. Château ranges offer a broad selection of metal finishes, while CornuFé ranges are available with a more focused selection of trim options. We will help you coordinate the range finish with your cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, lighting, and surrounding hardware.

Are La Cornue ranges gas or electric?

La Cornue offers a variety of gas, electric, and induction configurations, depending on the series and model selected. Oven and cooktop options vary, allowing many Château ranges to be configured around the client’s preferred cooking methods and available utilities.

What is the vaulted oven?

The vaulted oven is one of La Cornue’s defining features. Its gently curved ceiling encourages natural heat circulation around the food, helping to provide even cooking while preserving moisture and enhancing flavor.

What sizes are available?

La Cornue offers ranges in several sizes, from more compact CornuFé models to expansive Château configurations. The appropriate size depends on the dimensions of the kitchen, cooking requirements, available utilities, ventilation, and the desired visual impact.

Can you help me select the right model?

Yes. Selecting a La Cornue involves more than choosing a size or color. We guide clients through the available series, models, cooking configurations, fuel types, ovens, colors, trims, accessories, ventilation requirements, and installation considerations.

Can I see a La Cornue range before purchasing?

Does a La Cornue range require special ventilation?

Proper ventilation is essential and must be planned according to the range size, cooking configuration, local building requirements, and the design of the kitchen. We can help your design team identify the relevant specifications, but the final ventilation system should be designed and approved by qualified project professionals.

Does a La Cornue range require special utilities?

Utility requirements vary by model and configuration. Depending on the range selected, the installation may require gas, electricity, or both. Your contractor and installer should review the specifications early in the design process to confirm that the proper utilities are available.

Can La Cornue cabinetry be purchased with the range?

Yes. La Cornue offers coordinating cabinetry, islands, hoods, and other kitchen elements designed to complement its ranges. These pieces may be configured as part of a complete La Cornue kitchen or incorporated selectively into a larger kitchen design.

Can I purchase a La Cornue range without purchasing the cabinetry?

Yes. A La Cornue range may be incorporated into cabinetry produced by your kitchen designer or cabinetmaker. We will provide the necessary specifications so the surrounding cabinetry can be properly designed.

Are La Cornue ranges available for immediate delivery?

Availability depends on the series, model, color, trim, and current inventory. Some CornuFé models may be available sooner than made-to-order Château ranges. We will confirm current availability when preparing your quotation.
