About Element Kuhinjska napa
Element je kuhinjska napa dizajnirana za savremene kuhinje. Tijelo kombinuje staklo i crni čelik sa bijelim pozadinski osvijetljenim komandama na dodir. Moguće je dodati i modularnu policu, čime napa postaje svestranija i prilagodljivija različitim zahtjevima. Osvjetljenje se ravnomjerno raspršuje iznad ploče za kuhanje, a intenzitet se podešava pomoću funkcije prigušivanja. Perimetarsko usisavanje je skriveno od pogleda, dok Wi-Fi i Bluetooth povezivost omogućavaju upravljanje putem aplikacije, glasovnih asistenata ili ručnih komandi. Tihi motor održava nizak nivo buke tokom upotrebe.

- Production Technology
- The Element hood by Elica is made using precise glass cutting and stainless steel bending. The components are assembled with welding and finishing for an elegant and functional design.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was blending cutting-edge technology with a clean, modular aesthetic. Achieving whisper-quiet operation required redesigning motor components within space constraints. Additionally, integrating Wi-Fi and Bluetooth systems that seamlessly communicate with induction hobs demanded advanced software and hardware coordination, all while ensuring easy maintenance and environmental sustainability.
- Research
- The research focused on integrating smart connectivity and noise reduction in kitchen hoods. Objectives included enhancing user interaction via apps and voice commands, improving energy efficiency, and prolonging filter lifespan. Methodologies encompassed electronic motor innovation, materials research, and user behavior analysis. Results demonstrated superior performance and user satisfaction, influencing smart appliance trends.
- Inspiration
- The Element hood is a perfect balance between tradition and innovation. Its essential lines recall classic forms, reinterpreted in a modern key. The invisible perimeter suction and integrated Wi-Fi technology highlight the focus on minimalist design, perfectly adapting to contemporary spaces while maintaining a clean and functional aesthetic.
- Project Duration
- The project started in november 2023 in Fabriano at Elica HQ, and was exhibited in Salone del Mobile in April 2024
- Operation Flow
- Users interact with Element via the Elica app, voice assistants, or manual controls. The hood auto-adjusts extraction power in real time by connecting with induction hobs via Bluetooth. Its whisper-quiet motor ensures minimal noise during use. Modular shelves can be added for customized storage, enhancing kitchen aesthetics and functionality.
