KitchenAid has never shied away from designing truly beautiful iterations of its famous stand mixers. These stunning Design Series creations combine the hardworking specifications with a new and unique look to turn your countertop workhorse into hardworking kitchen decor.

The new KitchenAid Design Series Luminaire Stand Mixer is the first curated mixer to use the new Artisan Plus mixer as its base, and introduces a stunning fluted glass bowl and Peppercorn Blue finish.

There is no denying that this magical-looking mixer is easily one of the best stand mixers for the winter baking period, adding a touch of whimsy to your countertop ahead of the hosting season.

Having personally reviewed and loved the KitchenAid Artisan Plus stand mixer, it's incredibly easy to get excited about this new design. It's almost Cinderella-esque, with a unique textured French-blue finish and a sculptural glass mixing bowl. It brings the magical glamour to your kitchen, without the fear of it turning back into a plain workhorse at the stroke of midnight.

The hardened glass bowl is the true star here. Making the best use of the Artisan Plus' integrated bowl light, the fluted design captures and diffuses the glow, creating a radiant pattern across your countertop. It adds an additional layer to your kitchen lighting ideas that makes a kitchen feel cozier when baking in fall and winter.

The Luminaire launch is the first design series addition in two years, following the wildly successful 2024 Evergreen Stand Mixer, which went viral for its dark walnut wood bowl and deep green body. As the first to use the Artisan Plus as the base, it is also the first in the design series to feature the all-stainless steel attachments, including the double flex-edge beater as standard, as well as the half-fold speed for precision mixing.

It is, in essence, one of the most beautiful kitchen appliances I have seen in recent years, and it makes turning kitchenware into decor a dream. As winter baking and hosting loom on the horizon, there are few other pieces I want as much to help get me through.

What Else to Shop
