They are a breath of fresh air in the world of design. These Elica range hoods come in designs that tell the story of their maker’s foresight and talent. They are gorgeous, unique, efficient, and clever additions for any kitchen. In a country where we are encouraged to express our individuality, Americans often desire a style that’s a little different. Elica makes each of their range hoods with a special design.

Range Hood from The Space Collection by Elica

Behold the cosmic glory of the space collection. It appears Elica looks to the universe for inspiration, using space and stars as components of their designs. Often with contemporary decor we see geometrical shapes and either bright neon colors or standard black with standard white. Definitely a home decor to be desired.

The Star Collection from Elica

Starlight Detail from Elica

The Star Collection has a powerful presence in the room. It’s really a light installation that doubles as a range hood. There are multiple great reasons a range hood improves the kitchen, but the best ones include reducing grease buildup, and removing odor and heat. Some lesser known abilities of a range hood include preventing carbon monoxide poisoning, and removing other pollutants and toxins from the air. This Starlight model will do all that and put you in the mood of being out at a nightclub.

Island Range Hood – The Menhir Collection from Elica

This range hood from the Menhir Collection is more traditional, but it still has an interesting cylindrical shape. All of these range hoods bear the Made in Italy hallmark. Elica is an Italian manufacturer that has been perfecting range hoods for over forty years.

Range Hood from the Twin Collection by Elica

The best thing about range hoods like those in the Twin Collection is they blend in with the kitchen like stylish contemporary lighting.

Range Hood from Elica's Cingoli Collection

The Cingoli is made of stainless steel and has glass wings that are designed to float above a kitchen island. Range hoods by Elica come with their special chef control software built in. Chef control allows the user to select the type of cooking they will be doing and the range hood ventilates accordingly, saving energy and providing the cleanest air possible. Elica prides itself on creating economically advanced range hoods that are green and good for the planet.

OM Special Edition Range Hood from Elica

The OM Special Edition range hood looks like a high tech speaker, but it actually ventilates the kitchen like all the others. It’s very similar to the Space Collection, but it comes in a distinctive square shape with little white lights lining the top.

Range Hoods from Elica's Ola Collection

Oo la la for the Ola Collection that combines a modern lighting design with the luxury of kitchen ventilation. The interior also comes in a lambent blue.

Elica Range Hood Remote Control

The range hoods all have the potential of being remote control operated for the user’s convenience. The magnitude of the technology in these range hoods amazes me. It’s official. We’re living in the times of 2001 Space Odyssey. So here’s a question for anyone who speaks Italian. As I was researching the Elica company, I kept getting webpages written in Italian that depicted large fans and spirals and I wanted so desperately to be able to read about it. Does  anyone know what elica means in Italian?
