WONDE(R)SIGN: NUAGE!

Elica is an italian company, that produce high quality design hoods.

Nuage is a wall-mounted cooking hood, but indeed it's something more....

In fact it's a dynamic event along the surface of the wall, a refined and elegant gesture , innovative in the kitchen conception design. 
The skin of the wall surface opens itself to receive an  integrated plastic movement. 

It's seeming to grow out from the wall.

The result is obtained by a board that you can ultimate with water-based paint, cement, metal pannel, allowing you to create exciting material effects.
