JennAir is one of Maxwell’s most committed sponsors, having outfitted all of our kitchens with their signature luxury appliances. In return, Maxwell has served as the stage for many of JennAir’s premium events, designed to entertain clients and people of influence.

One standout evening brought together celebrated designer Corey Damon Jenkins and acclaimed chef Pierce Abernathy in Maxwell’s Grand Kitchen. The duo hosted an intimate cooking and design demonstration, showcasing the artistry behind JennAir’s professional-grade ranges.

Before an audience of tastemakers, including Brendan Fallis, Athena Calderone of Eye Swoon, and Patrick Janelle, Pierce crafted dishes while explaining the creative process and design principles behind his cuisine. Corey complemented this with insights on the art of entertaining, from setting a refined dinner table to creating an atmosphere that makes guests feel instantly at home.

The event was a masterclass in how great design and great food can elevate each other — all set against the warm, sophisticated backdrop of Maxwell.

Design meets performance. JennAir’s innovation on display.
