Throughout his evolution, Man has developed the concepts of aesthetics and technology as crucial elements in terms of the harmony of his relationship with himself and with the world around him.
And a sense of evolution is also the message you receive when you look at an Elica cooker hood.
A process that began 30 years ago at Elica has, through constant investment, development and improvement, brought the cooker hood to what it is today – and which only a few short years ago was still an unusual concept: the hood as a design product, as a decorative element in the kitchen.
Now Elica has taken another important step on its evolutionary journey, developing an absolutely innovative system that opens up fresh new horizons for the product.
EVOLUTION, developed and patented by Elica’s research laboratories, is a unique super-compact system that includes ventilation unit, filters, lighting and controls.
A simple steel cylinder that almost magically manages to contain all mechanical and electronic components, it can be decorated in a myriad of original and eye-catching styles and can function either as a hood or as a light.
Three new models created by Elica make use of the new EVOLUTION SYSTEM:

Grace, the new model for Elica Collection, shines like a cinema star with its own special radiance… and the cooker hood is transformed into a real source of light.

Platinum uses the silver-bright texture of steel to enhance the rigour of its lines and the softness of its form.

Cube Light, also part of the Elica Collection range, is more traditional to look at in terms of form, and conveys through its texture, lighting and clean, linear design, a real sense of delicacy and airiness.

Isolabella, for the Elica brand, is a highly elegant mid-range model displaying clean, distinct lines and a painstaking attention to detail.

Diamond dresses the Evolution system in an entrancing cascade of crystal;
