Wizard
Telescopic Wizard extends toward the range top, giving light and providing air aspiration. The canopy is a large polymer lamp in white, black and silver colour. Equipped with a remote control shaped like the hood itself, the ventilation hood was conceptually developed by Elica Gutmann in Germany and is characterized by the renunciation of mass production in favour of the single and small series.
Skin

Skin represents the simple yet innovative solution for an object that enhances the original essence of the product and highlights the technologically advanced aspiration. Filter is made of perforated steel for easy cleaning.
Eywa
A large shell constructed of curved wood strips allows ambient lighting and hides a potent extraction system. The sucked air undergoes three stage filtration – the the metal filter removes larger impurities, the charcoal filters remove odour causing particles and the HEPA filter absorbs dust, pollen and bacteria particles as small as 0.1 microns. The purified air is then released into the kitchen environment. Operated by elegant pendant Magic Wand or a remote control.
Seagull

It creates an enveloping auditory perception of a stream, rain and other sounds of nature.
Starlight
Starlight is a spherical lamp studded with crystals, a multitude of faceted glass tesserae, multiplying the light giving it a unforgetable shiny effect. A halogen lamp enables Starlight to illuminate with a directed beam of light while the crystals radiate light and reflections, and small LEDs create unique colour effects. Choose the colour of light to reflect emotional state of the moment and to positively influence the mood just like with colour therapy. A perfect combination of design, functionality and comfort, it comes with Magic Wand control or an optional remote control. Starlight is used with Elica Star extractor hood.
