Halo is an elegant synthesis of industrial application and residential style.
The first noticeable element is the clean simple panel, surrounded by light and floating over the cooking surface. Free from visually complicated lighting and filtration details, Halo takes new precedent by presenting its clarity with a completely unadorned principal surface. Around this floating surface light spills through the natural opening which also acts as the means for the smart motor system to intake the air to be filtered.

Designed to be cost effective with a minimum of parts and efficient construction, while offering the ability to change the color of material of the principle surface at any time, render Halo flexible for the ever changing home environment.

"Inspired by the mystery and perceived simplicity of fine cooking"

Todd Bracher
Todd Bracher, born 1974, New York, is stepping forward into the international world of furniture design, launching his first major project "Freud" with Zanotta (2002). Todd has found his niche in London after several years between Paris and Milan following a two year stint in Denmark at the Danmarks Designskole as a Fulbright scholar (2000), and four years of study at Pratt Institute, in New York, where he graduated with honors in Industrial Design (1996).
Todd's work experience spans USA, Europe and now the Far East. He served as senior designer for several of New York's design consultancies as well as a consultant for various studios in Copenhagen, Denmark, Milan, Italy, and London, England. His tasks ranged from consumer products, store planning to graphic design work, furniture, exhibition and Urban design.
"Open Privacy", a table and seating ensemble designed by Todd in 1999, awarded an ID award in 2000, captured the attention of critics in the world of furniture design. On the heels of this success is "Bloom", a four time award winner: The Promosedia Design for a European Chair Competition, Udine, Italy (2000); Idee Award, Tokyo, Japan (2001); ID award, New York, USA (2002) and a UNESCO Design 21 Award, Paris, France (2002).
"...The last few years Bracher has been making an international splash, picking up global press and awards as easily as souvenirs" - Jenny Shears, *Surface magazine (USA). His exposure has continued through publications from Wallpaper* (UK), I.D. (USA), Stern (DE), Corriere Della Sera (IT) as well as his exhibitions in Denmark, France, Italy, Japan, Sweden, and the USA.
