Lift "...the hood gives an important aesthetic touch to the kitchen, enhancing and personalising the environment; it is however an item that must integrate and live with the other elements of the room…I’ve made a hood which floats, light as the air that flows through it, a pure geometry with reflecting surfaces, powerful yet discreet, a significant presence in the ideal kitchen."
