The Design
About Element Hood ng Kusina
Ang Element ay isang kitchen hood na idinisenyo para sa mga kontemporaryong kusina. Pinagsasama ng katawan nito ang salamin at itim na bakal na may puting backlit touch controls. Maaaring magdagdag ng karagdagang modular na istante, na ginagawang mas versatile at madaling iakma ang hood sa iba't ibang pangangailangan. Ang ilaw ay nakakalat nang pantay sa ibabaw ng hob, at maaaring ayusin ang tindi nito sa pamamagitan ng dimmer function. Ang perimeter suction ay nakatago sa paningin, habang ang Wi-Fi at Bluetooth connectivity ay nagbibigay-daan sa pagpapatakbo sa pamamagitan ng aplikasyon, voice assistants o manual na kontrol. Ang tahimik na motor ay nagpapanatiling mababa ang ingay habang ginagamit.

- 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.
