Zephyr Hosts Luxe Interiors & Design Magazine Gold List Luncheon at New Alameda Design & Experience Center

Zephyr recently hosted an event honoring some of the design industry’s most innovative talents: the Luxe Interiors & Design Gold List Luncheon. Held at the new Zephyr Design & Experience Center, the celebration brought together a mix of top interior designers, architects, luxury home builders, and landscape architects whose work has graced the pages of Luxe’s SF Bay Area edition throughout the past year.

This exclusive event recognized the influential professionals whose creativity helps shape the evolving definition of home. The luncheon was a formal, sit-down affair that gave attendees an opportunity to connect with fellow design leaders, explore the latest offerings from Zephyr, and experience the new showroom in a dynamic and inspiring setting.

“Our Gold List honorees exemplify the highest standards of creativity and innovation, setting the benchmark for future generations of design talent,” said Jill Cohen, Editor-in-Chief of Luxe Interiors & Design.

The luncheon also marked the first official designer event to be hosted in the new 5,500-square-foot Zephyr Design & Experience Center. Located in on the water in Alameda, CA, this state-of-the-art facility is now the largest ventilation-focused showroom in North America. More than just a display space, it serves as a hub for innovation, education, and inspiration. Every inch of the showroom is designed to spark creativity and offer hands-on engagement with Zephyr’s full product portfolio.

Guests were given an immersive tour of the showroom, which features more than 130 Zephyr products. This includes the elegant Designer Collection, featuring collaborations with renowned designers Fu-Tung Cheng and Robert Brunner. Attendees also explored the Core and Pro Collections, which marry powerful performance with sleek design. The Zephyr Presrv™ Wine & Beverage Coolers are showcased in panel-ready and full-size options; these appliances offer flexibility and style for any space. The showroom highlights other standout products such as Microwave Drawers and a dedicated section for the Zephyr outdoor products, demonstrating the brand’s commitment to forward-thinking indoor and outdoor kitchen solutions.

This new experience center reflects the Zephyr mission to redefine the way we think about ventilation, functionality, and style in the modern kitchen. It offers a comprehensive, sensory-rich environment where design professionals and homeowners alike can witness the innovation and versatility of Zephyr products firsthand.
