Fancy-pants Lacanche French ranges are very traditional-looking. Which makes them an interesting choice for modern kitchens. We love the juxtaposition, though, in these two kitchens, spotted at Lacanche Canada...
The kitchen up top combines the traditional range and soft creamy colors with modernist architecture à la Piet Mondrian. The second one, below, sticks to stainless steel in both the range and the sleek stair in the background:

Very pretty. I just looked up the price (which was quoted in pounds and I had to convert that to dollars, so it could even cost more in the US and Canada), and it's just under $6k for one of these beauties. Wolf is up in that region, too, but I wonder why AT has been featuring so many luxury items and expensive homes lately. It doesn't seem appropriate, given what's going on in the (worldwide) economy.
Why not? Plenty of of people out there have adequate cash reserves and retailers willing to offer all kinds of incentives. Assuming you have the money, it couldn't be a better time to buy.
I agree with Forestdweller, fewer and fewer people have the cash and the mantra, ethos actually, has changed away from conspicuous consumption, even in NYC.
I was thinking the same thing -- that expensive appliances like this are just a pipe dream for most people now -- but on one of my other favorite home sites, people are still merrily debating the merits of appliances from Wolf, Subzero, Lacanche, Viking, DCS, BlueStar, etc.
