Shaded Hood

Inspired by Corian we decided to design a new kind of ventilation hood.
It functions as a lampshade as well as a ventilation system in the kitchen over a cooking island.
When the light in the hood is turned on the translucent Corian skin reveals a floral printed or laser cut pattern. The ‘Shaded Hood’ is turned on (works) by remote control.
Attached are two different types of surfaces.
Type 1/ printed surface on the inside of the Hood.
Type 2 /Laser cut surface on the outside of the Hood

This device could also be used in a restaurant with an open kitchen, creating an alternative to the standard industrial hood system.

We have chosen Corian because it has a beautiful matt surface and of its distinguished transparency of the material.
Due to the Corian material the ‘Shaded Hood’ is easy to clean.
