Elica: Air architects for modern kitchens

Elica

Revolutionizing the rangehood, Elica combines meticulous care in design, judicious choice of materials and cutting-edge technology to produce design objects aimed at improving the user’s quality of life.

The air inside a house can be designed: “We are the AIRchitects,” says Elica Group president Francesco Casoli – designing “architecture of the air.” Since the 1970s, Elica has combined meticulous care in design, judicious choice of materials and cutting-edge technologies to revolutionize the traditional image of the rangehood. Every new product has a unique story, characterized by a “design journey”

that is full of interesting ideas, twists and turns and crucial choices.

Designed with a focus on reducing energy consumption while producing maximum efficiency, an Elica rangehood is no longer seen as a kitchen accessory, but as a design object that improves the user’s quality of life.

Today, Elica is a multinational company, a well-appreciated and sought-after symbol of Italian-made products, quality, knowhow and design. A world leader in the manufacture and design of domestic-use rangehoods, the group has four plants in Italy as well as one each in Poland, Mexico, Germany, India and China.

Elica’s technical laboratory is dedicated to rangehoods; it is an international centre for excellence regarding studies on acoustics. It’s in the lab that the company’s

cutting-edge technology is studied, designed, created and tested – the technology that forms the true heart of every hood that goes out into the world’s kitchens. The aim is to make Elica hoods increasingly efficient in terms of suction performance, reducing noise as far as possible and improving the lighting system to ensure maximum ease of use around work surfaces and within the whole kitchen environment.

Elica is distributed in Australia and New Zealand by Residentia Group. Every product is backed by a five-year, in-home warranty to ensure peace of mind. ELICA
