Miele in London

There are two kinds of place to see Miele in London. Miele runs its own Experience Centres at 25 Wigmore Street, 72 Piccadilly in Mayfair and Brent Cross Shopping Centre, with a concession at Harrods, where you can compare the full range and book a demonstration. The Faura Interior Design Residency in Westminster is an independent trade showroom where a set of Miele built-in appliances is installed in a finished kitchen. It is not a Miele store, and Miele does not run it.

• Who it is for: interior designers, architects and developers specifying Miele for a client's kitchen. Homeowners are welcome through their designer.
• What you see: the oven, microwave, induction hob, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and wine unit built into Laura Meroni cabinetry, with Cosentino surfaces and Gessi brassware around them.
• How to visit: trade-only and by appointment, Monday to Friday, 09:00–18:00. Book a private visit.
• Getting there: Pimlico, St James's Park and Westminster Underground stations are within walking distance, and Victoria mainline station is nearby.

To plan the rest of the kitchen around the appliances, see the kitchen showroom in London guide.

Why see Miele at Faura

Miele's own Experience Centres are the place to compare the whole Miele range, book a consultation or join a cooking demonstration. Faura is useful at a different stage: when a designer needs to see how Miele built-in appliances look and fit inside a finished kitchen, next to bespoke cabinetry, stone worktops and lighting.

• Installed, not displayed: the appliances are built into the kitchen as they would be in a client's home, with the oven and microwave stacked in tall units, the hob in the island and the dishwasher, fridge-freezer and wine unit behind the kitchen fronts.
• One visit for the whole scheme: appliances can be reviewed with the cabinetry, stone, brassware and lighting of a project in the same appointment.
• Specification for trade projects: Faura holds a Miele trade account and can specify and order Miele appliances for residential and development projects.

The appliances in Faura's kitchen

• H 2765 BP oven: an oven in Obsidian black with pyrolytic cleaning, FlexiClip runners and SoftOpen and SoftClose doors.
• M 2234 SC microwave: a built-in microwave oven with an integrated quartz grill, automatic programmes and EasySensor controls.
• KMDA 7272 hob: an 80 cm induction hob with integrated vapour extraction, so no separate cooker hood is needed above the island.
• G 7970 SCVi AutoDos K2O: a fully integrated dishwasher with MaxiComfort baskets, M Touch controls and BrilliantLight.
• KFN 7795 D: a built-in fridge-freezer for a 178 cm niche, with PerfectFresh Active humidification, NoFrost, DynaCool and an IceMaker.
• KWT 6322 UG: a built-under wine conditioning unit.

Miele for architects and designers

Miele runs a Trade Partner Programme for architects and designers in Great Britain. It provides 2D and 3D CAD and BIM files of its appliances, detailed specifications, planning tools and installation guidance, so appliances can be built into the joinery drawings from the start.

About Miele

Carl Miele and Reinhard Zinkann founded Miele in 1899 to make cream separators in Herzebrock, near Gütersloh. Miele's first washing machine with its own electric motor followed in 1910, and in 1974 it introduced built-in ranges whose construction was, for the first time, precisely coordinated with the kitchen cabinetry. The company remains independent and owned by the two founding families, and its motto “Immer Besser” (forever better) dates from its first products.
