It has been designed to improve the quality of domestic air without needing to install additional devices or complex monitoring systems which are often impractical and invasive.

- Inspiration
- Today, the kitchen and living are a single space where we spend much of our day, in which we seek comfort and wellness through harmonious and elegant furnishings, pleasant lighting, the absence of annoying noises, but above all, the purified air that we breathe. With this in mind, Elica has created Ikona Maxxi Pure, a valuable aid in ensuring the right balance of the air quality in the living area, which will become part of your daily routine.
- Research
- A hood and air purifier in just one appliance, taking care of your household air throughout the entire day. Ikona Maxxi Pure combines a hood and air purifier into one appliance: it is equipped with a Combo Pure Filter, a special combination of Hepa and charcoal filters that capture particles up to 1 micron, able to relieve allergic symptoms and possible discomfort caused by indoor pollutants, protecting household spaces and contributing in improving the overall atmosphere in the home.
