In today’s imagination, the home is no longer just a refuge but a true expression of style and wellbeing. In recent years, the kitchen has taken on a leading role, evolving from a purely functional space into a hub of conviviality and innovation: it is here that design meets technology and where every detail becomes part of the overall domestic aesthetic.
In this context, the hood has ceased to be a mere extractor appliance and has become an architectural element able to redefine the identity of the kitchen and, by reflection, the entire home. Let us discover together how kitchen hoods have adapted to new spaces, and how Faber, as the ultimate expert in indoor air, has cleverly interpreted different lifestyles by offering solutions for every taste and need.
The New Centrality of the Kitchen
Modern homes are the result of careful, flexible design, conceived to meet the requirements of ever-more dynamic lives. Spaces open up, blend, and overlap. The kitchen interacts with the living room, often seamlessly, and becomes the nerve centre of the home—a place for meeting, creativity and sharing. In such a setting, air quality and acoustic comfort become crucial, as does the ability of appliances to combine harmoniously with domestic architecture and furnishings.
Faber, an Italian pioneer in hood manufacturing, perfectly understands these new needs, presenting a collection that combines innovation, aesthetics and sustainability. Its solutions do not simply improve the air but help to define the style and atmosphere of the kitchen, thanks to a variety of models and technologies designed to make the most of the space reserved for cooking and to suit different lifestyles.
Tailor-Made Solutions for Every Space
Every home is unique, just as the needs of those who live in it are unique: Faber is fully aware of this and has therefore developed its range into a multitude of solutions. Choosing the right hood means carefully considering the kitchen’s dimensions, cooking habits, layout and aesthetic preferences.To ensure both functionality and aesthetics tailored to your needs, compact cooktops up to 60 cm are best paired with hoods of the same width, while for larger cooktops, it’s advisable to choose hoods that are 80 cm or wider.
Whatever solution you choose, the important thing is to never compromise on quality: an efficient, quiet, and technologically advanced hood is an investment that translates into everyday well-being and long-term durability.
For those with compact kitchens, perhaps in a stylish city apartment or a sophisticated metropolitan open-plan space, under-cabinet and built-in hoods are the epitome of discretion: the models from the In-Nova series—available in various sizes from 60 cm upwards—integrate perfectly into wall units, allowing the furniture to take centre stage while guaranteeing excellent performance in both extraction and filtering modes. Equipped with two micro-fans positioned in the visor, which ensure additional airflow and highly effective humidity protection, the new In-Nova Zero Drip Extreme, thanks to Faber’s patented technology, is the ideal solution for managing condensation above the hob.
In larger homes, where the kitchen opens onto the living room and sociability is central, the choice falls on wall-mounted or island hoods—true design statements. The new Beat XL Wall, for example, stands out for its generous proportions - 80 cm wide and 35 cm deep - and its powerful extraction, enhanced by sophisticated LED lighting that highlights surfaces and materials. Of the same size, its suspended version is perfectly suited to island kitchens and is highly appreciated in spacious settings. In these spaces, for those seeking visual impact without compromising on an airy atmosphere, Faber’s Belle hoods with Airlane technology in extraction mode enable installation with no visible ducting: the hood appears to float, transformed into a truly futuristic design object.
For lovers of the most innovative living solutions, the trend of the moment is the hood integrated into the hob, a revolution both in aesthetics and functionality, eliminating every suspended element and extracting fumes directly from the source. The Galileo range by Faber adopts latest-generation brushless motors, high-efficiency filters and smart control systems, for a kitchen defined by formal cleanliness and maximum efficiency.
Invisible Technology, Tangible Comfort
Behind the apparent simplicity of the lines, Faber hoods conceal a concentration of technology designed to enhance the quality of domestic life. In some advanced models, the brushless motor, quiet and efficient, reduces energy consumption while ensuring high performance, even in the busiest kitchens. Where available, Air Quality sensors constantly monitor air quality and automatically adjust the extraction power, while the UV-C lamp eliminates viruses and bacteria, ensuring a consistently healthy environment without emitting ozone.
Equally carefully considered by the brand from Fabriano is interaction between appliances: the K-Link technology allows the hood to communicate with the induction hob, adapting extraction power to the real demands of cooking. Unable to install external ducting? No problem: the new High Filtering Hood filters work to ensure air is always clean.
The Luxury of Personalisation
The true wealth of modern homes lies in the possibility of personalising every detail. To accomplish this, Faber hoods are offered in a wide variety of finishes, sizes and configurations: from glass to metal, matt white to bolder shades, every model can be chosen to harmonise with the kitchen décor, becoming a lively focal point or a discreet supporting actor according to one’s aesthetic preferences.
In conclusion, in contemporary homes the hood is no longer a technical accessory to be hidden away, but an element of domestic culture, capable of expressing a way of living and inhabiting space. Faber’s latest solutions embody this new vision, offering a perfect synthesis of innovation, design and comfort: a versatility of models able to provide the flexibility needed to create the perfect kitchen, transforming it into a harmonious space where beauty and air quality reign without compromise.
