Catalunyan range hoods make me question everything I think I know
Range hoods used to be an afterthought. They have been the unglamorous, sensible thing that each kitchen needed. For years, they had been the gnarled hand of necessity accomplishing into an otherwise lovable and properly-concept out room. They have been all so boxily utilitarian that no person clearly idea approximately them.
All of that commenced to alternate on the grounds that the start of the brand new millennium and we appear to be attaining a few sort of critical mass with them. Each time I flip round it appears, someone's re-thought the variety hood once more.
Well, maximum of the time I don't get too excited about these re-concept range hoods. Then I saw this.
That's the Sphere from Frecan.
Frecan is a Catalunyan appliance producer with its headquarters in Barcelona. They did not prevent with the Sphere either. Check out the Saturn.
Between the two of them I'd be hard-pressed to pick which one I like more. Now clearly, some of these hoods (and I hate to call them hoods, the Brits call them "extractors" which sounds so much more elegant) aren't capable of venting to the outside, they just recirculate. Keep in mind that in their target market, they're not dealing with the enormous cooking appliances popular in the US. However, some of these models could be adapted to use in North America. Just look at these beauties.
Frecan's really onto something here, who says that range hoods have to be boring? Check out Frecan's website , maybe I'm not the only one who'll be questioning everything he thinks he knows.
