Elica – 2,456 KM HIGHWAYS

At the end of November 2013 Italian company Elica, one of the most famous European manufacturers of cooker hoods, demonstrated its latest models in New York and told about its plans for the future. America plays a major role in these plans: after all, not only are people here able to appreciate the beauty of each model, but there are also many people who have the means to pay for premium products.

The highlight of New York show was a designer cooker hood Pescecappa designed by Gaetano Pesce. The prototype hood was presented at the 2009 International Furniture Show in Milan. It then made its way into the Farnesina Design Collection at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Rome as a piece of design art. A total of 15 Pescecappa hoods have been created, each one unique in its details. All of the hoods are numbered and signed by the designer.

Every new Elica extractor hood is a market event. All models combine striking design and the latest technology. They’re not just decorations, they’re functional appliances that purify the air from the entire spectrum of kitchen odors.

In 2012, the company produced so many hoods, that they can connect Milan and New York.

The shape of the new 35CC hood is based on two C-shaped elements joined together. Outer color housing and functional filter made of smooth perforated steel form a cube with a side of 35 cm.

The design of the Tiffany is incredibly simple: it consists of a single element – an elegant front panel with rounded corners, behind which is

technical model center.

The Grace hood can be attached to the wall or the ceiling like a chandelier. Inside the stainless steel cylinder there is a removable dishwasher-safe steel grease filter and a long life charcoal filter to absorb odours and flavours.

The Shell hood body consists of two parts: a white plafond with 80 cm diameter and an elegant slightly concave frosted glass that evenly diffuses light in the space. Inside the case there is a system of intensive air filtration integrated with the system of perimeter suction.
