FLYING SOLO
No longer mere outdoor-kitchen band member, the luxury grill gains solo-performer status with True Caliber’s Signature Rockwell, a National Kitchen & Bath Association 2026 best-of-show winner. An eponymous collaboration with hall-of-fame architect David Rockwell—renowned for everything from hospitality design for the likes of Nobu to Tony Award-winning stage sets—reimagines the backyard barbecue as a stand-alone statement piece.
Inspired by communal picnic-table camaraderie, Rockwell devised a “disappearing lid” that slides beneath the cooktop for unobstructed cookery in the round, earning billing as the world’s first 360-degree social grill. A furniture-style sapele hardwood base, marine-grade aluminum and 300-series stainless steel provide durable, refined cover for precision engineering and formidable firepower. While the revival of True Caliber’s legacy Crimson hue has us seeing red for mountain grill gatherings, an expansive palette of finishes and hardware offers customization in 96 pairings. The Signature Rockwell, 60” w, from $16,999.
