量身打造的設計、顧問、工程和項目管理服務。他的設計作品多以「既實且華」為原則，講求簡潔實用，並
以幾何元素或線條為空間設計特色。Bosch Series 8系列的機身呈方形線條，配搭環形Control Ring，摒除多餘花巧，輕鬆融入不同廚房設計風格之中，是Johnny作為室內設計師的專業推介。
Bosch Series 8 has a square contour and comes with a circular Control Ring. All the gadgets are intentionally low-key so that they can blend even more discreetly into the kitchen, regardless of their interior styles. Given all these inherent merits, it’s one of the best kitchen ranges that Shum recommends to his clients.
CLASSIC STAINLESS STEEL: BEST MATCH FOR DARK GREY AND BLACK KITCHEN
Among the Bosch Series 8 highlights is the black glass door embellished by classic stainless steel: a chic fit for kitchen with dark grey or all-black as the main colour tone. The strong contrast between silver and black brings just the right amount of punches to ground up the design, elevating visual hierarchy across the cooking zone.
“Black is a colour that brings heavier weight than others and it works well in larger-sized kitchens. If you want to infuse a sense of hierarchy into an all-black kitchen, a contrasting feature wall and Bosch Series 8 stainless steel built-in steam oven are like a match made in heaven.”
In Hong Kong, people are forever jostling for spaces on very scarce land. Within the home sector, interior designers are drawing upon tried-andtested to make an apartment appear larger than it actually is – one of which is an off-white kitchen and it’s becoming hugely popular in recent years.
The white-glass built-in steam oven from Bosch Series 8 is capable of elevating the visual harmony of a stylish, white kitchen. What’s more, the steam oven cavity is coated with a specially designed back plate: it can decompose the grease generated during the baking process, making the steam oven easy-to-clean and low-maintenance. With a light-weighted texture, the arctic white wall-mounted range hood barely takes up any space.
DIAMOND BLACK SERIES: GREAT FIT FOR BURGUNDY, LUXE KITCHENS
According to Shum, this rubble black hue is ideal for kitchen painted in darker palette – think dark grey or burgundy – and it gives off a soothing yet luxurious vibe. “Even more so in open-plan cooking corner, combing this gangue black range hood with the diamond black-glass built-in steam oven can turn the kitchen into a centrepiece of the home.”
The versatile looks and styles notwithstanding, Bosch Series 8 Builtin Steam Oven also has a built-in PerfectBake automatic baking program: it can detect the temperature, humidity and oxygen concentration of your food in progress, and automatically adjust itself in terms of temperature and time to help you whip up lip-smacking dishes no time. That means no more having to worry whether it your meals are overcooked.
The latest generation of the 4D HotAir function ensures that heat is distributed consistently and evenly to every corner of the oven. Rest assured the oven will achieve perfect baking result even if all the four layers of the oven are stacked with food.
Shum shares: “Increasingly many of my clients are looking for a multi-functional, professional steam oven to diversify their dishes. Bosch Series 8 Built-in Steam Oven combines expert German engineering and stylish design. Not to mention the minimalist contour goes really well with a range of trendy kitchen styles."
"Bringing together function and aesthetics, it’s one of the best builtin ovens on the market right now, for homeowners who have a taste for the finer things in life and those looking to cook up a storm at home.”
