Introducing AGA x Taylor Howes Designs
We are delighted to share the launch of a new-look AGA cooker in collaboration with Taylor Howes Design. Both brands creative teams have worked together to create this stunning cooker on the cusp of the 100th birthday of the AGA cooker.
It is rare for AGA to collaborate, so the Taylor Howes designed AGA is an especially exciting development. The new-look cooker features the signature Taylor Howes navy blue colourway with the addition of copper-coloured hardware, offering a twist on the iconic AGA cooker.
This new design is available on R7 and eR7 100cm and 150cm models only and is available to order now.
Key Features
The new-look cooker features the signature Taylor Howes navy blue colourway with the addition of copper-colour hardware - the first time this metal finish has been available commercially in the brand's history - giving a truly contemporary and elegant feel.
All AGA cookers are coated in multiple layers of hardwearing vitreous enamel to achieve the beautiful finish you'd expect, and, the AGA X Taylor Howes collaboration cooker offers elegant tones of navy blue. (Note: the blue enamel is not AGA Dark Blue). A coloured side panel option is also available.
A gorgeous, copper-colour metal is used on the hotplate lids, handrail, door catches and badge providing an elegant and contemporary aesthetic. Due to the inherent nature of copper, in a few weeks, the finish will gain a tarnished patina (see image).
Aftercare
Although the intended look is tarnished patina, you can still achieve a high quality-looking shine by combining white vinegar and salt. Gently rub a mixture of 1 tablespoon of table salt and 1 cup of white vinegar onto the copper plates with a soft AGA e-cloth and let it sit for at least 20 seconds before rinsing it off with warm water.
You could also use 3 parts baking soda with 1 part white vinegar and apply this like a paste onto the copper plate with a plastic spatula. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes for light oxidation before rinsing with warm water.
