  • Kitchens are a space with high demands on both functionality and aesthetics. Traditional induction cooktops often get scratched over time and are difficult to clean, leaving streaky marks. Moreover, they all share the same boring, glossy black ceramic glass look. We aimed to design a cooktop that addresses these concerns, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal - ensuring it not only performs exceptionally but also enhances the kitchen’s overall design.

  • The AEG SaphirMatt glass finish was initially developed for its superior cleanability and resistance to scratches and fingerprints. However, the benefits extend beyond functionality. With a paper-like frosted matte surface, SaphirMatt appeals to both touch and sight, offering a unique tactile experience. It stands out in a market dominated by glossy black glass. The AEG SaphirMatt Induction Cooktop range, showcased here as an 80cm model, aims to be the visual centerpiece of even the most distinctive kitchen designs. With this unique material, AEG elevates the cooktop to a central role in the most contemporary and unique kitchen designs.

  • The superior protection of the unique SaphirMatt ceramic glass brings scratch-resistant properties that surpass those of conventional ceramic cooktop surfaces*. Effectively shielding from abrasions during everyday use ensures your cooktop maintains a pristine, as-new appearance for longer. The distinctive, matte aesthetic is uniquely able to complement a broader range of matte-black kitchen appliances and contemporary kitchen finishes. *Based on external tests, compared to our standard cooktop surface without special treatment or coating.

  • Beyond its unique material aesthetic and durable, easy-clean functionality, the AEG SaphirMatt range is designed to enhance cooking by integrating advanced technologies for optimal performance. Induction elements provide both high power and precise low-temperature control. The DoubleBridge feature connects cooking zones for larger or irregularly shaped cookware. Additionally, Hob2Hood technology synchronizes the cooktop and rangehood, automating fan and light control. An intuitive user interface enhances control, accuracy, and flexibility, making cooking more efficient and enjoyable.
