AEC is an innovative angled extractor hood, designed by Formeta Design. We conducted the whole design process for Ferre and the process resulted with the AEC’s great design features as the new offer for modern kitchens.
The general problem of these angled extractor hoods is the control panel which was located in the angled surface of the cooker hood and prevents end-user from maximizing the efficiency of the interaction.Thus, in order to provide direct interaction capability for users, the extruded part was added in order to get the control panel right in front of the user. This extruded part put the new character on AEC as an aesthetic structure besides its functionality. In addition for this unique control panel, glass edges fillets were edited in a correspondence with its unique design line among other angled extractor hoods. In order to emphasize the importance of the control panel for design, silk screen printings and push-buttons of the control panel were designed in accordance with this soft and sporty line. Furthermore, two led lights of AEC had designed for the increased cooking experience by positioning the end-user into the center.
