novita HydroCube Hot/Cold Water Dispenser W29
HydroCube Hot/Cold Water Dispenser W29, $1,999 (U.P. $2,699), available at novita
With the Hot/Cold Water Dispenser W29, you get instant access to hot, cold and room-temperature water without spending time on separate boiling, cooling and storing. This is partly thanks to the rapid boiling system, which allows you to do away with your kettle entirely. On top of that, the dispenser’s compact design leaves plenty of countertop space while offering hygienic and fresh drinking water at the touch of a button.
Choose between HydroPlus and HydroPure, two innovative filters with a comprehensive six-step filtration system. HydroPlus transforms tap water into alkaline antioxidant water, neutralising acidic waste for a better pH balance in the body. The HydroPure filter, on the other hand, provides purified, energising water by removing chlorine and any heavy metal ions from your tap water. This inhibits microbial activity for prolonged freshness and no unpleasant tastes and smells, hydrating and revitalising your body.
No matter your pick, reap the benefits of powerful filtration in the form of stronger metabolism and increased wellbeing on a daily basis. Of course, the dispenser’s design is not lacking either; pick your favourite from a yummy range of six shades, be it a sunny yellow or a minimalist white.

BOSCH Serie 8 self-cleaning oven
Serie 8 HNG6764S1A Built-in oven, $4,999, available at BOSCH
The Serie 8 HNG6764S1A by BOSCH is the ideal oven for busy, health-conscious homeowners. Not only does it come with carefully curated options such as PerfectBake, PerfectRoast, microwave and added steam, but it also boasts the convenient self-cleaning technology that makes it stand out from the crowd.
With pyrolytic self-cleaning, you can eliminate those long hours trying to scrub the dirt and grime out of the oven. Instead, it carries the cleaning out automatically—without any chemical cleaning products that could affect your cooking. By simply heating itself up to 480°C, it burns all of that dirt to fine ashes, which can then be simply wiped out of the chamber. Eating healthy has never been easier!
BLANCO SILGRANIT sink
Etagon SILGRANIT sink, POA, available at BLANCO
Made primarily of quartz sands, the toughest constituents of granite, SILGRANIT sinks are hardwearing in more ways than one. In fact, they are so resistant to scratches and impact that you could grab a knife and cut up some ingredients directly on the sink’s surface without leaving a dent.
SILGRANIT is also impervious to stains from acidic foods and natural dyes and comes with antibacterial properties thanks to BLANCO’s Hygiene+Plus technology, which reduces bacteria growth by up to 98 per cent. This makes it a very hygienic pick for the kitchen, and a good-looking one too!
