As the days get warmer and longer, entertaining season ramps up. And while the kitchen often plays a central role in making guests feel at home, the team at Riggs, the luxury showroom representing kitchen brands Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove, notes that appliances are becoming hospitality amenities throughout the home—from coffee systems in the bedroom to convection ovens with wellness settings in the pool house or spa. Appliances can be of service in unanticipated ways while still providing important design solutions, one reason why Riggs showroom director Eric Remmen describes the company as a hospitality specialist. “We call this an experience center,” he says of the venue, adding that since sales are completed through retail partners, he and his team are focused on educating clients and visioning with designers.

Interior designer Jon de la Cruz, a Riggs’ client whose San Francisco-based firm, DLC-ID, is much sought-after for both residential and hospitality projects (including chef David Barzelay’s newly opened French concept, JouJou, in the San Francisco Design District) notes “A coffee machine in the primary bedroom suite in a multilevel house is a luxury we often recommend.” A Wolf Coffee System, with no plumbing required, is simple to install practically anywhere. Imagine starting the day with the aroma of freshly ground beans, a frother creating silky foam, and a warmer heating a favorite cup —all before leaving the bedroom. Pair the system with a Sub-Zero Beverage Center, equipped to store wine, water, and other bottled beverages, and a guest room, home office, or dressing area is elevated.
