Innovative Design, Efficient Performance and Quality Built. All over the world the name Elica is synonymous with efficiency, innovation and design in the production of ventilation systems for the home. Beautiful, distinctive and stylish design are the unifying elements and core philosophy of our range of ventilation systems. Universally acclaimed for their radically innovative appearance, our products are far more than simple range hoods for domestic kitchens: they are key personalities that define the room in which they are installed. Elica not only designs the hoods, we design the air...

4 OLA Elica Team design As in a mobius strip, the on-lookers gaze is transfixed by the mystery of the infinite, which has no beginning and no end. Thought is suspended, the eye deceived, as it seeks in vain for something familiar – color, material, function…and finds nothing, except wonder.

6 PLATINUM Elica Team design

7 As light shines, gleaming metal sparkles into life and the world around is mirrored in its surface. Colors and images amplify and change, performing a fascinating dance that transforms a simple object into a brilliant kaleidoscope.

10 GRACE Elica Team design

11 An everyday, intimate form that hides the true identity of the object that it is: bright enough to illuminate the words of a book, but intimately linked to the vital breath of the air.

14 SPACE Elica Team design

15 The circle: symbol of the absolute and the alchemist. A movement that leaves and returns to the origin of everything, depicting, in reality, the shape of time itself. Space enters our everyday architecture and brings a fragment of the infinite into the world of the useful and necessary.

18 STAR Elica Team design

19 “…I saw a small and shifting sphere, its radiance almost sublime. At first I thought it was rolling; but then I realized that this movement was an illusion produced by the dizzying sights that it enclosed” Borges: The Aleph. Fragments of dreams – or reality? – that are found in the everyday world, remind us that order and the evident do not always mean certainty, because objects can assume an infinity of new identities. Or even, simultaneously, contain them.

22 Wave in the Finnish language is Aalto: recalling nature and the far north, with its unmistakable world of beautiful and useful objects, and recalling, as well, one of that world’s foremost interpreters. Wave is not only about function: it is light in movement, air that assumes color, a gift that brings with it the magic poetry of the shadows. WAVE Elica Team design

26 TWIN Elica Team design

27 From the idea of the double, of symmetry, of the mirror that reflects an identical image, its form is the essence of balance and proportion. The mystery of the twin, as if in one of Leonardo’s games of reversal, repeats itself.

30 OM, MINI OM Elica Team design

31 From large to small, from one to many: a new version of Om that allows everyday reality to gather the fragments of a single original thought – fragments of color and pure form - and design the space and the architecture of your own private world.

36 MENHIR David Lewis design

37 Technology as magic, form as archetype: an echo of the ancestral divine – higher intelligence – defined in evocative imagery. Menhir. Yet, more than that, a daring exercise in design, where technology permits the creation of forms that embody the essence of the absent.

38 SAMURAI Elica Team design Formal discipline. Gestural precision. Every detail, reflection and action forms part of a ritual that scans and defines the setting in which life is played out. Ordinary and extraordinary life. So that everyday objects animate the theatre of existence.

40 ATLANTIS Elica Team design

41 Like an imaginary gateway, Atlantis connects us to a time that is not human time. And to n-dimensional spaces. Atlantis is the ‘passageway’ that unites the future with the present. And the present with the future. All with the semblance of a simple, everyday object...

42 The light slides lingeringly over pure, geometrical shapes. Not orthogonal. Referencing cinematographic memories by analogy. And so the tilted, crystal-clear surface appears as the detail of a singular ‘accessory’. Worn by the actor technology. BOGART Elica Team design

44 OPTICA Elica Team design

45 Icy perfection. Pure, orthogonal, Euclidean lines. Like the law of physics that governs light as it moves through the ‘vacuum’... light is like air: invisible. But real and present in filling the living space.

46 An island that emits light and ‘inspires’ air. The intangible takes on physical features and enters into a relationship with the surrounding space. Providing the essential function of protecting our everyday actions. And our breathing. TWIN OPTICA Elica Team design

48 GLIDE Elica Team design

49 A jewel of technology with a dynamic profile, resembling a futuristic work of art, a tribute to Marinetti and his Manifesto. Sleek design, chrome-plated details, reliability, power. An object in which freedom has the impalpable outline of the air.

52 ELICA DEEP SILENCE - EDS3 Lose yourself in the music you love. Listen to the happy bubbling chatter of your kids telling you about their day or simply luxuriate in the subtle vibrations of the world. Exceptionally silent, almost imperceptible at low speeds, EDS3 is Elica’s latest innovation to enrich your life, providing maximum noise reduction. EDS3 uses acoustic foam panels to absorb sound and a unique cup shaped “Pro Filter”to calm air turbulence, resulting in a 35% reduction in noise compared to traditional range hoods.

53 DUCTED vs RECIRCULATING Most Elica Collection kitchen ventilation products are designed as Ducted Systems, in which air from inside the kitchen is pulled through a grease filter and then vented through a duct, directly into the outside air. This is the most powerful and effective ventilation method. When installation of a ducted system is not possible or cost-effective, all Elica Collection models can also operate as a Recirculating System, in which air is pulled through a grease filter and then through a charcoal filter, which removes odors and purifies. The “cleansed” air is then...
