Sub-Zero Group Earns Two GOOD DESIGN® Awards Amid Rising Demand for Induction Technology and Inclusive Luxury Design
Madison, WI (1/30/2026)
MADISON, Wis., January 30, 2026 – As performance‑focused induction technology and accessibility engineering become central to modern kitchen design, Sub-Zero Group, Inc., the leader in luxury kitchen appliances, announces it has earned two 2025 GOOD DESIGN® Awards for breakthrough advancements in both categories. The Wolf Professional Induction Range and the Cove ADA Height Dishwasher were honored in the Kitchen & Appliances category, marking a significant milestone in Sub-Zero Group’s long history of design excellence.
Founded in 1950, GOOD DESIGN® is the world’s oldest and most prestigious design awards program. With thousands of entries submitted from more than 55 countries in 2025, the dual recognition reinforces Sub-Zero Group’s legacy as a global design leader.
As induction surges in popularity, driven by performance, energy efficiency, and evolving homeowner preferences, the Wolf Professional Induction Range stands apart by marrying innovative technology with the emotional tactile knob experience that defines the Wolf brand. This next generation range pairs high-efficiency induction coils for faster, more consistent heat with Wolf’s iconic red knobs, which have been precisely engineered for ergonomics. An elegantly concealed LCD touch screen provides deeper control when needed, maintaining a minimal front profile when not in use.
“Winning a GOOD DESIGN® Award reinforces our dedication to innovation that blends advanced technology with timeless design,” said Terry Hoffmann, VP of Design Engineering at Sub-Zero Group, Inc. “The Wolf Professional Induction Range combines precision engineering and intuitive controls with induction technology, delivering a cooking experience that is as elegant and user-friendly as it is high-performance.”
With accessibility and universal design emerging as defining priorities in residential architecture, the Cove ADA Height Dishwasher offers a premium solution for homeowners and designers seeking compatibility without compromise. Refined over years of engineering testing and designer input, the dishwasher features a lower ADA height compatibility for undercounter accessibility, flexible and fully customizable interiors designed for intuitive loading, powerful cleaning cycles that deliver the same performance as standard height models, and near‑silent operation that keeps the kitchen peaceful.
“These awards underscore our commitment to inclusive design and uncompromising performance,” Hoffmann added. “The Cove ADA Height Dishwasher shows that accessibility and luxury are not mutually exclusive but can coexist beautifully with the right engineering.”
