Suspended from the ceiling or standing out from the wall, your range hood can become a prominent part of your decor but only if you want it to. However, in some minimalist designs the client may want an exhaust appliance that is big on power but slender in terms of profile.

Zephyr Ventilation offers a broad array of distinctive range hood solutions, including the understated Duo model featured in this kitchen. Here, owner Joan Ting wanted an uncluttered decor for her kitchen a minimalist aesthetic that would retain its appeal down the years.

"For this reason I avoided upper cabinetry and specified a range hood that would reflect a modern sensibility, but that at the same time would not interrupt sightlines across the room."

The Duo chosen by Ms Ting was created by industrial designer Robert Brunner as part of the Arc collection, a series of range hoods designed for and manufactured by Zephyr Ventilation.

Arcadio Lainez, director of marketing at Zephyr, says the stainless steel appliance boasts a rating of 600 cubic feet per minute but is also available in 1000 CFM inline or with externally mounted motors.

"Sleek, buttonless memory touch controls set Duo in operation and remember the last setting you used for one-touch operation. They also program the hood's CleanAir feature that regularly turns the appliance on for ten minutes every four hours to improve indoor air-quality

Tri-level halogen bulbs act as general light for cooking and as mood lighting for soirees.

"In order to conserve power, I sometimes use the range hood for task lighting when cooking," says Ting. The efficient tri-level lights are sufficient to illuminate the cooking surfaces."

Zephyr's showroom is located in the heart of San Francisco's design district. The 6000sq ft space displays the individualistic range hoods in real-life kitchen settings.
