The Expressive Series: Gaggenau Releases Its New Cavity Range in Nearly Two Decades
Established in Germany, Gaggenau has a storied history that dates back to 1683. Revolutionizing the domestic kitchen with its internationally acclaimed products, it’s now presenting its first new cavity range in nearly two decades: the Gaggenau Expressive series.

“We’re introducing a new chapter for Gaggenau with this series. It carries the essence of our tradition while stepping into the future. It’s recognizable, yet new,” stated User Interaction and Interface Designer, Soren Strayle. It blends familiar elements with design inspired by Bauhaus principles and modernist architecture.
Design Language
Industrial Designer Alexandar Stuhler noted that the subtle design is the beauty of this series, a result of the brand’s foundation in technological innovation and a distinct design language. The series presents the seamless integration of function and form. To meet a diverse range of culinary needs, the series includes ovens, combi-steam ovens, combi-microwave ovens, fully automatic espresso machines, culinary warming drawers, and vacuuming drawers.

Featuring the newly designed element, the floating control ring, the series offers an interactive detail positioned on the seamless glass door. Not only does it enhance the look of the products, but it also heightens the usability of the appliances. “This step is driven by the principle of evolution, which is key to our design philosophy. The ring, a perfect embodiment of our core concept of traditional avant-garde, reinforces this idea,” expressed Strayle in regards to the ring’s introduction.
German Innovation
This series reflects our commitment to combining advanced culinary technology with intuitive design, offering a refined aesthetic and exceptional functionality for the discerning chef,” shared Dr. Peter Goetz, Managing Director of Gaggenau.
The series provides professional-grade functionality through its features: the oven’s high-performance heating system and full surface grill behind the brand’s signature blue enamel interior; temperature reaching up to 300 degrees Celsius; and an intuitive user interface that lights up as you approach.

Furthemore, the ovens are equipped with advanced automatic programs, a multi-point core temperature probe, and a pyrolytic self-cleaning system. Head of Design Sven Baacke shared, “It’s not just an appliance but a piece of art. This design balances tradition and innovation, honoring our roots while looking forward.”
