Our Vision: A Return to Connection

We believe every range begins with the earth. The land, rich in nutrients, nurtures the seeds that grow into the foods that grace our tables. This connection—to the soil, to the farmers who tend it, and to the traditions that preserve it—is the soul of our mission. 

In a world that often feels rushed and fragmented, we see the kitchen as a sanctuary. It is a place to slow down, savor, and gather. Lacanche ranges are not just tools for cooking; they are instruments for creating moments that matter. They remind us that true nourishment begins long before a meal is prepared. It begins with respect for the earth and a shared understanding of our roots.

Who We Are

Art Culinaire is the exclusive United States distributor of Lacanche French Ranges, a relationship that began in 1995 with our founder, Stan Barrett. Captivated by Lacanche’s ethos of connection and craftsmanship, Stan saw the ranges as more than appliances—they were a symbol of authenticity, resilience, and togetherness. 

Since 1991, our family-owned business has been committed to helping clients create kitchens that embody these values. From our first conversation to the moment you start using your range we’re here to ensure every step of your journey is meaningful, personal, and supported.

Our Mission

Bringing Legacy to Life. Our mission is about more than importing stoves—it’s about sharing a piece of history and inspiring others to create spaces where connection and creativity can flourish.

Each Lacanche stove, handcrafted in Burgundy, France, carries with it the spirit of its origin, the precision of the artisan’s touch, the warmth of the community that surrounds its creation, and the resilience of traditions passed down through generations.

At Art Culinaire, we are honored to bring this rich legacy to North America. Our mission is about more than importing stoves—it’s about sharing a piece of history and inspiring others to create spaces where connection and creativity can flourish.
