Meet The Designer
You’ll notice from our KBIS 2024 photo collections that Café’s “Daring Drama” booth was full of dynamic colors and bold patterns. This can be accredited to their collaboration with maximalist designer Isabel Ladd, their newest Café Designer Ambassador. Ladd, born in Brazil, attended fashion school and found that her passion for fashion could easily transition into interior design. Today, she’s the owner of her own company, Isabel Ladd Interiors. She believes every room in a home, including your kitchen, can be an expression of personality. Per her philosophy, the layering and clashing of shades and designs add character and depth to a space. Her very own kitchen is a testament to this, as it features bold marigold yellow walls and an emerald green Café range from their Capsule Collection.
So what other products does she love from Café?
- The Café™ Professional Series 30″ Smart Built-In Convection Single Wall Oven (left). Her favorite feature is the control panel. “They have all these pretty images that keep changing. I love really pretty innovative things.”
- The Café™ ENERGY STAR® 28.7 Cu. Ft. Smart 4-Door French-Door Refrigerator (middle). Her admiration for this appliance comes directly from her love of fashion. “When you open it up the LED back panel just glows and it reminds me of runway shows.”
- The Café™ ENERGY STAR® Stainless Steel Interior Dishwasher (right). Her favorite feature is the water bottle jets. “Water bottles are usually so annoying to clean, but you can just put it in this jet and it’s instantly clean.”

A New Appliance From Café
Outside of debuting their newest designer collaboration, Café also showcased a brand new product, the Café CustomFit Stainless Steel Interior Smart Dishwasher. This dishwasher is a Best of KBIS finalist and is expected to be released sometime in March 2024, starting at $1,799. Thanks to the beautiful design and the customizable hardware, you can start washing your dishes in style. The sides of the CustomFit™ Basket feature a classic herringbone pattern to resemble a high-fashion clutch purse. The basket itself can fit stemware, reusable straws and silverware so you can skip the pesky handwashing.
The appliance also comes with a CustomFit™ Top Rack, which can be configured in several different ways for optimal flexibility. Different setups can accommodate items like travel mugs, tumblers and tall water bottles. You can also take advantage of the CustomFit Lid Caddy, which washes and dries blender blades and cup lids. Each item is held in an ideal position within the caddy to prevent water from pooling. Wash all your pots and pans at a quiet 39 dBA and get the ultimate dry with the Dual Convection Ultra Dry with Hidden Heat feature too.
Expanded Hardware Finishes
While Café’s various hardware finishes are not new, they did debut two additional variations so homeowners have even more appliance handle and knob choices. These variations are Flat Black and Brushed Brass. As Café appliances come in several finishes, including stainless steel, white, black and platinum, an expanded variety of hardware finishes gives any kitchen owner the power to mix and match. Let your darker dishwasher pop by choosing a brighter handle finish or match finishes for a more seamless look. Not sure which hardware finish fits your aesthetic? Here’s how Café broke it down:
- A subtle shimmer for the modern kitchen: Brushed Stainless
- Versatility for the classic kitchen: Brushed Bronze
- A sleek option for the “moody” homeowner: Brushed Black
- For a nice warm glow in the kitchen: Brushed Copper
- For the elegant & sophisticated kitchen: Flat Black
- For a striking, vibrant appliance statement: Brushed Brass
