The Open Suite modular structure, designed by Fabrizio Crisà – Design Center Director Elica, is conceived for a kitchen that is increasingly integrated with the living area.

In today's fluid and multifunctional home, the kitchen remains the convivial place par excellence. It is not only the space in which food is prepared, but the one around which the days of the various members of the family revolve: meeting, studying, working, talking with friends... The kitchen is increasingly integrated with the living area, and every element of it must enhance its open, functional and flexible character.

This is the direction taken by the Italian company Elica, with its innovative Open Suite modular structure, designed by Fabrizio Crisà – Design Center Director Elica. The suspended furnishing element is an expression of multi-functionality in the kitchen, adding new possibilities to the traditional extraction hood that combine practicality and elegance.

The starting point for Open Suite is its modular structure, with four basic configurations (80 cm or 160 cm wall, and 80 cm or 160 cm island). To this it is possible to add suction modules, light panels and shelves in glass, metal, wire mesh or wood. The height of the island version is adjustable to allow installation in any room, regardless of the size of the ceiling.

The air and light functions are complementary: on the lower side, in front of the hob, there is a large LED light panel. The light point is functional to the preparation of food, but can also be used to illuminate the environment in more convivial moments. It is also possible to modulate the intensity and warmth of the light, thanks to the Dim Light and Tune White functions.

Open Suite is part of the Elica Connect line, the range of intelligent hoods with connectivity. It is therefore possible to turn the product on or off remotely, adjust its suction power and modulate the intensity of the light. The App also makes it possible to monitor the efficiency of the filters and request any type of assistance with just a few clicks.

For its innovation and simplicity, the product has received several important awards such as the A' Design Award (Gold Winner), the IF Design Award, the German Innovation Award, the Kitchen Innovation Award, the IDA Design Award, Architizer - A+ Product Awards, Archiproducts Design Award, and EPDA (European Product Design Awards).
