Acerca de Terra Placa de inducción

Terra es una placa de inducción integrada, concebida para formar parte del interiorismo de la cocina. La mayoría de las placas de inducción emplean vidrio negro, que puede dominar visualmente una estancia. Terra utiliza una placa de vidrio cerámico de color en un tono natural y cálido, desarrollada junto a socios especializados en vidrio. La interfaz táctil está cromáticamente igualada al vidrio, y los mandos permanecen discretos cuando no están en uso. La placa cuenta con cuatro zonas de inducción, dos de ellas ampliables, con detección de recipientes e indicador de calor residual. Su superficie lisa es fácil de limpiar.

Propiedades Únicas: Makus Terra introduces colour to induction cooking, turning the cooktop into a part of the interior palette. It replaces the visual weight of a black appliance with a warm, natural tone that integrates into its surroundings. Every detail, from glass colour to interface layout, is designed to support softness and harmony in the kitchen. Makus is the original coloured induction brand, established to make induction desirable through design rather than obligation.
Dimensiones y Embalaje: The MAKUS 80 cm induction cooktop is a built in electric appliance with a total connected load of 7.4 kW, configured for a 2 phase Perilex connection. It features four induction zones, including two standard and two expandable zones, with individual outputs ranging from 1.4 kW to 3.0 kW with boost.

Installation requires a 750 × 490 mm niche and a construction height of 55 mm, with 20 mm ventilation clearance. The unit integrates a ceramic glass surface with capacitive touch and slider control, offering 10 power levels from 0 to 9 and boost mode.

The system includes automatic pan detection, pan size recognition, zone coupling, residual heat indication, and safety functions such as automatic shut off and overheating protection. Expandable zones support variable cookware dimensions, including rectangular cooking areas.

Tecnología de Producción: Terra is produced using high-quality induction engineering combined with a coloured ceramic glass plate developed specifically for this project. Since coloured induction glass did not exist, MAKUS sourced specialized partners able to experiment with pigments, coatings and processing methods. Schott Ceran supported the glass development, while the manufacturing partner adapted its production line. Previously used only for black cooktops, to accommodate new colour-controlled processes. Final assembly combines precision induction hardware with the customized coloured top. Ensuring stability, performance and long-term colour integrity.
Desafío de Diseño: The main creative and research challenge was developing a coloured induction cooktop in a category that had exclusively used black glass. Achieving soft, natural tones while meeting strict thermal and mechanical requirements demanded new approaches to glass colouring, coatings and reflection control. Makus collaborated with designers from the Dutch Design Academy, with tno on performance research, and with schott ceran on material development.
Investigación: The development of Terra required research into coloured glass stability, heat resistance and optical behaviour. Makus collaborated with tno for this and found a strong partnership with schott ceran.
Inspiración: The shift away from gas cooking in the Netherlands in 2018 created an opportunity to rethink induction. All induction cooktops were black. And pure designed as a functional device: hard and visually dominant. While kitchens were becoming softer and more personal. Instead of trying to convince people through obligation to cook induction/electric, the idea of Merel was to make induction desirable. This led to the concept of a cooktop designed as part of the interior. Natural colours, soft shapes and subtle detailing inspired both Terra and Moon. Allowing them to blend into the design of a home instead of interrupting it.
Duración del Proyecto: The development of Makus Terra started in 2018 in the Netherlands and continued through prototyping, colour testing and engineering refinement until its launch in 2020. The project was based in Amsterdam, with production and material development carried out in collaboration with European manufacturing partners.
Flujo de Operación: Terra operates as a standard high-performance induction cooktop, but its interaction is designed to feel calm and intuitive. The touch interface is colour-matched to the glass to reduce visual distraction. Controls appear only when needed and remain understated when inactive. The smooth surface supports effortless cleaning and a clear workflow around the cooking area. Terra is part of the kitchen interior rather than a dominant technical element.
