Zephyr's IMKDC (Inspire My Kitchen Design Contest)

Zephyr's IMKDC (Inspire My Kitchen Design Contest)

Back in June, we told you about the IMKDC (Inspire My Kitchen Design Contest), brought to you by our favorite range hood innovator, Zephyr. The contest, in its second year, brings together culinary aficionados, and awards homeowners and professional designers with prizes for incorporating a Zephyr range hood into their kitchen. Even better, it enters those of you who participate, simply by voting or making comments on your favorite kitchen entries, into the IMKDC monthly prize give-a-way. The prizes include the Element Portable Grill by Fuego and the Beats Pro from the Beats by Dre line of headsets; both products are from the vivid imagination of Zephyr Arc Collection designer Robert Brunner.

The Element Portable Grill

The Element Portable Grill

The Element Portable Grill is his thoughtful take on the age-old culinary amenity, perfect for tailgating, grilling on the beach or in the backyard. Sleek in black powder coated steel with an 8,000 btu/hr stainless steel burner and push button ignition, you can be sure this grill is giving larger patio-hogging BBQ grills a run for their money. With a 159-square inch enamel coated cast-iron grill grate that reaches a sizzling 650-degrees, the Element Portable Grill can handily accommodate burgers and chops for eight; meaning you can count on no-nonsense functionally from this design-forward workhorse. When you’re done cooking up a storm, the 15 pound grill packs neatly into itself with its aluminum locking legs folding into an easy-to-carry handle. You can bring it in the house, toss its removable residue tray in the dishwasher, and it’s good-to-go for next time.

The Beats by Dre line of headsets

The Beats by Dre line of headsets

The Beats by Dre line of headsets, in collaboration with music impresario Dr. Dre, is the embodiment of Brunner and Dre’s high standards of excellence when it comes to design, quality and functionality. Aesthetically, the headphones are at once austere and luxurious in their black rubber, bold red accents and sculpted metal bezels; certainly not lost is the cool, clean design sensibility Brunner once brought to Apple Computer. Even the packaging is design-forward, compartmentalized and opening up ceremoniously with flaps and folds. Acoustically, Beats by Dre features noise-canceling technology, produces rich base and clear treble, offering you the thrill of hearing tiny details you’ve never heard before; in songs you thought you knew inside out. As Dre himself puts it, “With Beats people hear and listen to the music the way they should: the way I do.” Zephyr’s prize give-a-way – the Beats Pro – is a professional quality headphone designed for sound engineers, DJs, musicians, and hard core music lovers who prefer a clean yet forceful sound. Built from strong yet lightweight aluminum for rugged use on-the-go, it features flip up ear cups and dual input/output cable ports that enable you to share mixes by daisy-chaining headphones.
