The Design
About Element Eldhúsháfur
Element er eldhúsháfur hannaður fyrir nútímaeldhús. Yfirbyggingin sameinar gler og svart stál með hvítum baklýstum snertistýringum. Hægt er að bæta við aukalegri einingahillu, sem gerir háfinn fjölhæfari og aðlögunarhæfari að mismunandi þörfum. Lýsingin dreifist yfir helluborðið og hægt er að stilla styrk hennar með dimmer-aðgerð. Jaðarsogið er falið sjónum, en Wi-Fi- og Bluetooth-tenging gerir kleift að stjórna háfnum í gegnum smáforrit, raddstýringar eða handvirkar stýringar. Hljóðlátur mótor heldur hávaða í lágmarki við notkun.

- 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.
