Matthew Quinn, renowned interior and product designer, brings a passion for creating timeless, functional, and beautifully crafted spaces and products that enhance the way people truly live.
For over three decades, Quinn has regarded La Cornue as the pinnacle of kitchen luxury, incorporating its iconic ranges into projects around the world. The opportunity to reinterpret the legendary Château was seen not as a challenge, but as an invitation to introduce this masterpiece to an even broader audience through a modern lens.
The Château Moderne bridges the gap between timeless craftsmanship and contemporary design — a range that feels equally at home in both modern and traditional spaces. Guided by the philosophy that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, Quinn’s design emphasizes clean lines, precise alignment, and a thoughtful blend of noble materials and textures, with inspiration drawn from architecture, fashion, and jewelry.
As one of the leading experts in kitchen, bath, and product design, Matthew Quinn has worked around the world, providing his clients with original, memorable living spaces. Through residential, commercial, multiunit, and hospitality projects brought to him by top architects and interior designers, he increases the design and functionality of kitchens and baths. Inspired by his clients—their environments, lifestyles, and desires—Quinn collaborates with them to design spaces that are the perfect fit for their everyday lives.
The recipient of numerous national design awards, Matthew’s designs have been published in magazines and books including House Beautiful, Architectural Digest, Traditional Home, Elle Decor, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles, Luxe, and Veranda. Quinn has designed innovative, award-winning products for MTI Baths, Sun Valley Bronze, Francois & Co., Art for Everyday, the Rubinet Faucet Company, AKDO, La Cornue, Hafele America, and Julien: Home Refinements.
For La Cornue, he has also developed a very successful enamel color: Quintessential Teal (gloss and matte).
The redesigned range features a centered logo, the elimination of unnecessary elements such as ventilation holes and decorative hinges, a substantial horizontal pull for visual balance, and an expanded palette of metal finishes — providing greater freedom of expression for designers and homeowners alike.
With just enough presence to confidently anchor any kitchen, the Château Moderne reflects a precise focus on alignment, proportion, and materiality — timeless beauty married to purposeful function. Witnessing this vision brought to life within such an iconic French brand marks a truly extraordinary moment in modern kitchen design.
