Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Yes, range hoods are getting sexier than ever. They’re even available in black leather these days.

This stainless steel and black leather range hood is from Elica, a company that definitely raises the range-hood bar. All their pieces are as much sculpture and art as functional kitchen appliance.

I’ll be the first to admit that this hood is too classy for my kitchen, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t spend some quality time with it on the side… maybe get it its own apartment, you know.

Here’s their blurb on it:

“Design and glamor. Here, sight and touch combine in search of an deeper emotion, rooted in material and its expression. Luxuriously soft leather and austere metal clothe an object of geometric simplicity, its function clear. Architecture in miniature, where the materials’ use seems to defy logic. Sense and sensibility, logic and intuition: from contrasting opposites, ideas take form, to reach beyond the limits of the known.”

And, yes, it’ll still suck up your greasy bacon smoke.
