Element: A new way of understanding extraction in the kitchen

Designed by Fabrizio Crisà, Chief Design Officer of Elica, the Element hood represents an evolution of the traditional extractor hood concept. Its minimalist architectural design integrates silence, power, and advanced technology into a single piece that redefines the kitchen space with a contemporary perspective.

Available in wall-mounted and island versions, Element features invisible perimeter extraction, dimmable LED lighting, and stainless steel and black finishes. This combination enhances its architectural integration and allows for seamless adaptation to various interior design styles.

Connex and Multi Connection technologies enable intuitive control of vacuuming and lighting, with automatic operation and connectivity. This is complemented by the EcoFair system with a brushless motor, designed for energy efficiency , in a product recognized with awards such as the Plus X Award, German Design Award, EPDA, ADI Design Index, and Iconic Awards.

Virtus: Precision ovens for a contemporary kitchen

The Virtus range of ovens brings the same philosophy of minimalist design and technical rigor to the cooking environment. Its all-black aesthetic and carefully considered ergonomics define a design conceived for modern kitchen projects.

The Virtus Combi Steam MW TFT, Virtus Multi DD and Virtus Multi Pyro TFT models combine different cooking technologies —traditional, steam, microwave or pyrolysis— to offer a versatile and precise experience, geared towards both everyday use and more demanding preparations.

Furthermore, they incorporate precise temperature control, cooking probes, and steam management systems. These are complemented by safety and maintenance features , along with an extended 7-year warranty and accolades such as the German Design Award, Good Design Award, IDA, EPDA, and Iconic Awards.

Awards that reinforce a vision of design and innovation

The awards received by Element and the Virtus range recognize the formal quality of the products and their consistency with a design vision applied to the kitchen space. In both cases, innovation is understood as a balance between form and function.

This approach translates into solutions where design and technology are integrated to enhance the everyday experience. Connectivity, control, and efficiency become resources that deliver real value without compromising the overall aesthetic.

With these awards, Elica consolidates its international presence and reinforces its commitment to developing appliances that engage with contemporary architecture and interior design, adding functional and aesthetic value to current kitchen projects.
