About Element Kjøkkenvifte
Element er en kjøkkenvifte designet for moderne kjøkken. Kroppen kombinerer glass og svart stål med hvite bakgrunnsbelyste berøringskontroller. En ekstra modulær hylle kan legges til, noe som gjør viften mer allsidig og tilpasningsdyktig til ulike behov. Belysningen fordeles jevnt over platetoppen, og intensiteten kan justeres med en dimmerfunksjon. Det perimetriske avtrekket er skjult, mens Wi-Fi- og Bluetooth-tilkobling gjør det mulig å betjene viften via en app, taleassistenter eller manuelle kontroller. En stillegående motor holder støynivået lavt under bruk.

- 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.
