Light=Life “The kitchen, fire, steam, smells, family, eating, talkingŠthe fireplace use to be the source of light and life.

In our days it is cover with metal pots and the fire is sophisticated. The warmth, the magic and the light is goon. In my new Elica "light=life" concept the wall of island piece is not only an extracting machine but a light source that light around the stove and the kitchen environment.

Not only a sculpture but also a spirit. "light=life" model has a wide generous horizontal surface where things can be put such as herbs, boxesŠit is equipped with a large filter, 4 directional light and 360° light source.”
