Since 1955, Faber has been far more than just a brand: it is the guardian of a legacy built on innovation, quality and a true passion for comfort at home. Seventy years after its foundation, through the Shaping Air campaign, the company celebrates a journey that has revolutionised the way people experience their kitchens, bringing more than thirty million cooker hoods into homes around the world.
A remarkable story intertwined with the future – guided by a vision that skilfully combines tradition and technology, design and functionality – to continue shaping the air of tomorrow.
A LEGACY BUILT ON INNOVATION AND EXCELLENCE
Born in the heart of the Marche region from the vision of Abramo Galassi and a small group of partners, Faber first began by producing plastic goods before quickly becoming a pioneer in the field of cooker hoods. In 1958, the company created the first hood made of Plexiglas – a product that marked the beginning of a domestic revolution.
Since then, the Fabriano-based company has consistently anticipated change, investing in research and development and introducing innovations that have forever transformed the way we think about air in the kitchen.
Over the decades, Faber has expanded its international presence, becoming one of the world’s key players in the sector. Since 2005, it has been part of the Franke Group – a global leader with more than a century of experience in kitchen engineering and home design. This partnership has strengthened Faber’s ability to innovate while keeping at its core a deep respect for domestic comfort.
THE VALUE OF SILENCE AND THE PURITY OF AIR
One of the most distinctive elements of Faber’s heritage lies in its ability to transform the kitchen into a space of tranquillity – a place to cook, entertain and share precious moments in complete safety, freedom and with peace of mind. Over the years, those who have trusted Faber have enjoyed more than eight million moments of quiet, thanks to advanced extraction systems: technological jewels that combine power and noise reduction to guarantee a quiet cooking experience, using pioneering anti-noise technologies.
Faber’s advanced technology effectively removes fumes, vapours and odours, protecting not only the home environment but also the health of those who live in it. The impressive figure of over seventy-seven million noses “freed” from unwanted smells stands as proof of Faber’s constant commitment to improving air quality. This result is the outcome of a synergy between high-quality materials, efficient and high-performance motors, and innovative filtration systems – creating products designed to be both easy to use and simple to maintain.
DESIGN THAT CATCHES THE EYE AND ENHANCES THE HOME
Faber is not only about technology – it is also about cutting-edge design. Countless glances have been captured by the charm of its hoods, which have evolved from simple appliances into true pieces of furniture.
Attention to form, finish and detail ensures that each product harmoniously integrates into any kitchen environment, enhancing spaces of every style and dimension.
The company has long interpreted contemporary design trends, offering solutions ranging from refined minimalism to bold, modern lines – always balancing aesthetic taste with function and the evolving needs of consumers.
The Shaping Air campaign celebrates this perfect harmony between beauty and innovation, telling the story and values of a brand that has been shaping the air with passion and commitment for seventy years.
THE FUTURE OF AIR ACCORDING TO FABER: TECHNOLOGY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Curious, forward-thinking and constantly in step with innovation, Faber never rests on its laurels. Always looking ahead, the company continues to invest in technologies that make the air cleaner and life in the kitchen easier and more relaxing.
The integration within the Franke Group – drawing on more than a century of kitchen expertise – allows Faber to develop increasingly smart solutions designed for connected kitchens: extraction systems synchronised with hobs, sensors for real-time air quality monitoring, and technologies that eliminate condensation as it forms on hood surfaces.
At the same time, in perfect harmony with a world that is ever more attentive to sustainability and the quality of domestic spaces, the Fabriano-based brand responds to this challenge with conscious choices: creating energy-efficient appliances, adopting built-in LED lighting to reduce consumption, and integrating activated carbon filters to minimise polluting emissions.
A HERITAGE TO LIVE AND SHARE
Ultimately, this campaign is not only a tribute to the past, but an invitation to look confidently towards the years ahead. The heritage built over seventy years provides a solid foundation for new experiences – continually improving air quality and supporting the daily lives of millions who wish their kitchens to embody quality, design and technology.
A collective project in which Faber stands as an essential protagonist – uniting tradition and innovation, Italian soul and international vision.
Its story is that of a pioneering company that has transformed a simple kitchen appliance into a symbol of comfort and design – capable of shaping the air of today and of tomorrow.
