In the last ten years we've seen the Kitchen Aid Mixer sporting the most fashionable colours to create a dramatic contemporary style. I love all the bright vibrant colours, but in an expensive appliance I want something that will compliment my kitchen for years to come no matter how I decorate my kitchen. Till now that choice has been the bland cream or the bold black; but now Kitchen Aid have created this dark decadent chocolate. Subtle enough that it won't look huge in your kitchen, yet strong enough that it doesn't disappear into the wood work, the Chocolate Mixer offers a rich alternative to monochromatic appliances. Originally designed in 1937 by Egmont Arens, the vintage inspired Kitchen Aid Mixer is a true kitchen icon which is widely available for £349 at department stores, independent cookshops. Online the Chocolate Kitchen Aid Mixer is £339 from Armorica.
