Below the grate
Designed to occupy the space around a gas burner rather than create a plate beneath the pan.
Le Krohn · Patent Pending
The Crown changes the view around the flame.
A removable, below-grate design for gas cooktops—created to guide post-combustion thermal flow beneath cookware and designed to look intentional in a beautifully considered kitchen.
A different relationship to the cooktop
Form, placement and purpose in one Crown.
Familiar diffuser plates typically sit between flame and cookware. Le Krohn starts from another position: around the burner, below the grate, with cookware still supported by the appliance’s existing grate.
Passive by design
No electronics or active controls are required for the Crown’s intended thermal-flow function.
Made for the room
Color and finish are treated as part of the kitchen composition, not as an afterthought.
The origin of Le Krohn
A question that started with jet engines.
Le Krohn began while researching the shape of jet engines—particularly the area where hot gases leave the engine—and wondering what that kind of attention to geometry might suggest at a stovetop burner.
That question led in a different direction: a Crown positioned around the gas burner and below the grate, developed to guide post-combustion thermal flow beneath cookware without becoming the cookware support.
The jet-engine research inspired the question and the design exploration; the Crown is not presented as a jet-engine technology or as using the same operating principles.
How it works
See the relationship in one view.
The burner remains the burner. The grate remains the cookware support. The Crown occupies the space around the burner beneath the grate, where its geometry is designed to guide post-combustion thermal flow upward and outward beneath cookware.

Kitchen as composition
Color that belongs in the room.
A premium cooking space is considered down to material, tone and hardware. Le Krohn treats the Crown the same way—with color expressions that can complement or deliberately contrast the kitchen around it.

For kitchens worth designing
For homeowners, designers and the trade.
Le Krohn is presented for people who care about both the cooking experience and the room around it—from carefully designed homes to boutiques, showrooms, culinary media and potential manufacturing partners.
