3. Serene Spa & Boutique (288 Center Ave., Westwood, NJ)

A walk through the charming downtown center of Westwood brings you to Serene, a quaint spa and boutique with a natural vibe. The name “Serene” is indicative of the feeling you get upon entering the storefront, as customers find its atmosphere relaxing and peaceful.

You’ll visit Sogno Coffee for its magnificent coffee and beverage selection, including espresso, macchiato, cappuccino and some fantastic hot chocolates.

Peter Salerno’s New Showroom Display to Feature #TheMieleRange

Leave it to Miele to revolutionize the way we see kitchen appliances.

When Peter Salerno and the Peter Salerno Inc. family decided to update their award-winning showroom with a new transitional kitchen design vignette, there was only one choice for the range to be featured: the flagship, 48-inch range from Miele. It’s a range so incredible, Miele is comfortable referring to it simply as “The Miele Range”.

As the reigning Most Innovative Small Showroom in North America (awarded by KBIS and the NKBA), Peter Salerno Inc. has an obligation to present new, innovative and outstanding designs, appliances and technology in its Wyckoff, New Jersey showroom. When Peter Salerno saw the Miele flagship 48″ range in person at the Oberg & Lindquist boutique appliance studio, he knew it had to be featured in his new design vignette.

“I’m thrilled to have the new Miele 48-inch range as the centerpiece of our new transitional kitchen showroom vignette,” Peter Salerno said. “It truly is the definition of modern transitional design.”

From the official Miele Range press release:

“For the first time ever, a consumer has the option to have one unifying design throughout their kitchen,” said Nick Ord, President of Miele USA. “Each piece complements the other in form and function and ensures consistent and professional results.”

The Ranges, offered in All Gas, All Electric, Induction and Dual Fuel and ranging from 30” to the flagship 48” model allow for the ultimate flexibility. Many of the innovations available in Generation 6000 can be found in the Range to create perfect harmony in a full suite of kitchen appliances. From M-Touch controls that offer effortless navigation to the ComfortSwivel handle that moves ergonomically with the motion of the user’s wrist, no detail was left out. Precise results can be expected from the M Pro Dual Stacked Burner System with up to 19,500 BTU and TrueSimmer capability and for ease of cleaning, the ComfortClean grates are dishwasher-safe.

The Rangetops, with 30”, 36” and 48” units available, deliver the ultimate in versatility – in both form and function. Featuring the M Pro Dual Stacked Burner System, users have the ability to go from sear to TrueSimmer with the turn of a knob. The M Pro Grill and M Pro Infrared Griddle available for Rangetops offer high power output, even heat distribution and constant control –allowing for the most resourceful culinary preparation.

The Miele motto is Immer Besser – “Forever Better”. We couldn’t agree more.

Over the next few weeks, Peter Salerno Inc.’s showroom will undergo a transformation – a brand new vignette, featuring some of the most revolutionary kitchen appliances you have ever seen. It’s only right that the Most Innovative Small Showroom of 2015 keeps up with the most innovative, sleek and functional product lines on the market in their vignettes and displays – and in the case of Miele’s 2015 product line, the choice was easy.

The centerpiece of the new Peter Salerno Inc. Miele kitchen vignette will undoubtedly be the new Miele 48″ dual fuel range. After spending over 7 years in research and development, one would assume the resulting range would be nearly flawless. And that’s pretty much the case. With a streamlined 3-door concept, 30″ wall steam assist, speed oven/microwave combo and plumbed-in steam assist, it’s one of the most beautiful and functional ranges in the world.

Combine that with the new Miele coffee maker, with swipe intuitive interface, user-friendly streamlined design, automatic adjustable-height dispenser, on-board milk steamer and M class control, and you have the foundation for perhaps the most revolutionary transitional kitchen showroom display in the world today.

Over the coming weeks, Peter Salerno Inc., Miele, and boutique appliance studio Oberg & Lindquist will bring you a series of reports, appliance overviews, updates and sneak previews of the new Peter Salerno Inc. showroom vignette.

Together, we will show you why Miele’s motto truly is Immer Besser: “Forever Better”.
