- Production Technology
- The creation of The Kub is the result of specific technologies and production methods for each material: from cutting to welding steel, from cutting wood to the careful assembly of each component. A precise and integrated process that guarantees quality, durability, and aesthetic excellence in every detail of the product.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge in designing The Kub was to connect it to certain Elica products, integrating them harmoniously without compromising their aesthetics or trivializing their design. Great care was also taken in choosing the finishes and combining the materials with the aim of creating a clean, high performance product that would be well balanced within the kitchen environment.
- Project Duration
- The project began in February 2024 and ended in October 2025; it will be exhibited at the Salone del Mobile in April 2026.
- Operation Flow
- Simple and intuitive to use, The Kub incorporates an innovation that makes all the difference: connectivity. It communicates directly with the hob, activating, adjusting the power, and switching off automatically according to use. It can also be controlled via voice assistant, making it a fully fledged part of the smart home ecosystem. Hidden technology, visible performance: powerful suction, high capture, and reduced noise.
- Research
- The research behind The Kub stems from the desire to bring a high-performance yet customizable product to kitchens. Customization is expressed in the choice of finishes (white, black, or stainless steel) and in the type of installation: suspended, island, or wall mounted. A versatile solution, designed to adapt to any space with style and functionality.
- Inspiration
- The idea for The Kub hood came from the desire to bring a product into the kitchen that was both aesthetically pleasing and functional. A functional design that interacts with contemporary spaces with rigor, balance, and authority. The high performance extraction system is designed to ensure high extraction capacity with low noise levels. Acoustic optimization allows you to cook, work, and converse in a comfortable environment without noise interference.
