The AEC Angled Cooker Hood, designed by Formeta Design for Ferre, represents a groundbreaking approach to kitchen ventilation and aesthetics. In a world where modern kitchens demand both high functionality and sleek design, the AEC hood offers a new solution that combines innovative features with cutting-edge design principles. The result is a cooker hood that not only performs exceptionally but also enhances the overall kitchen experience.
A common issue with traditional angled extractor hoods is the placement of the control panel on the angled surface, which often hinders efficient user interaction. To address this, Formeta Design reimagined the user experience by incorporating an extruded section that brings the control panel directly in front of the user. This design innovation ensures that users have easy, intuitive access to the controls, significantly improving the interaction and usability of the appliance. The addition of this extruded part not only enhances functionality but also contributes to the overall aesthetic of the AEC, adding a modern, sleek touch to its form.
The design of the AEC Angled Cooker Hood goes beyond functionality to include carefully considered details that elevate its appearance. The glass edges of the hood feature precisely edited fillets that align with the unique design language of the cooker hood, distinguishing it from other angled extractor hoods on the market. The control panel, with its silk screen printings and push-buttons, was crafted to complement the soft, sporty lines of the design, ensuring a seamless integration of form and function.
To further enhance the cooking experience, the AEC features two strategically positioned LED lights that illuminate the cooking area, placing the user at the center of the action. These lights, combined with the innovative design of the cooker hood, create a visually appealing and highly functional cooking environment.
In essence, the AEC Angled Cooker Hood is not just a kitchen appliance but a statement of modern design. With its user-focused control panel, sophisticated aesthetic, and advanced features, the AEC stands as a perfect example of how innovation in design can elevate the cooking experience while blending seamlessly with contemporary kitchen environments. Formeta Design’s thoughtful approach to the project has resulted in a product that embodies both functionality and style, meeting the needs of the modern kitchen while offering a unique, forward-thinking solution for today’s users.
