Countertops
Anissa Helou's "Sirius" counters, complete with bain-marie, burners and sink, are made in Switzerland by Elro mainly for restaurant kitchens (for information and price estimates, call 011-41-566-489-415 or visit www.elro.ch).
Cookware
Finnish-made Hackman pots and pans, for use on gas, electric and induction cooktops, have measurements on the inside. Intended for commercial kitchens, they've been adopted by home cooks. Pieces in the "Dahlström 98" line, which Helou uses, start at $155 (612-341-4075 or www.finnstyle.com).
Appliances Bosch, a German company, sells sleek, noiseless dishwashers that are perfect for an open-loft environment like Helou's (from $550; www.boschappliances.com). Helou's Bosch undercounter refrigerator is not available in the U.S., but U-Line makes a similar model (from $980; 414-354-0300 or www.u-line.com).
Cabinets
Helou's slim, horizontal metal cabinets with sliding doors were custom-designed by David Cook and Akiko Kobayashi of London's Bluebase (011-44-207-253-8284 or www.bluebase.com).
