Fascination, the latest in cooking by De Dietrich

Posted on by

Absolute black, Iron gray, Pure white and Platinum are the four exclusive collections of De Dietrich’s new Fascination range . Black, gray, white and platinum are the main colors of these four collections, which are combined with materials and textures, giving rise to an unprecedented design.

Different colors, combination of materials and mixture of textures such as cast iron, glass or copper, make this new collection a benchmark for design and innovation. So much so that some of its models have been awarded the Red Dot International Award.

As distinctive signs of the ovens of this collection, they stand out their robust handle, a platinum and copper selector to show the intuitive controls and an elegant black glass door, Iron gray or Pure white.

In its induction plates, the Horizone technology stands out, allowing it to reach a power of 5,000 W in different inductors without increasing the total power of the installation. In addition, these plates automatically recognize the size of the container on its surface.

NikolaTesla Flame, Elica’s first gas suction plate

Posted on by

Elica has launched NikolaTesla Flame, an exclusive gas suction plate, which allows to reach the right balance so that the burner flames remain stable without loss of efficiency.

The product has been designed with aesthetics and functionality in mind. It is made of black or gray tempered glass, combined with black cast iron materials. All cast iron components are removable and washable.

The plate has four burners of different sizes, one of which is dual. The double crown has an independent ignition between the large and the small burner, which allows using very small diameter materials for cooking.

It also provides a wider space, for maximum freedom of movement even when using large pots at the same time. The closed cross grates guarantee stability in pans of all sizes, even in woks, thanks to the included accessory.

The gas suction plate has fixed controls of black color to control the burners, while the suction is handled electronically, by means of a continuous rotary control.

NikolaTesla Flame is available in a suction and filter version.

The Elica Observatory unveils the new kitchen trends for 2019

Posted on by

The Elica Observatory shows the new kitchen trends in terms of volumes, styles and finishes that will be protagonists in 2019. In the contemporary kitchen the volumes are broken down to transmit solidity with harmoniously combined monolithic shapes. “For example, the rigid, linear and impressive shape of the innovative Haiku hood – Elica explains – makes it a volume that takes up the space precisely and without frills”. In addition, elegant metal structures lighten even the most impressive furnishings. Unusual lines and sharp angles give life to original surfaces that add personality to the environment. The Elica Observatory shows that the new year will be marked by important news in the choice of materials and finishes. Together with the metal, which is enriched in aesthetics thanks to new treatments, textures and rust effects, there is cement, a simple material but full of personality and structured.

Then there is wood, which is even more precious when it becomes a detail in combinations with other materials. “Wood – Elica says – harmonizes perfectly with elements such as copper, steel and ceramic in the new Lullaby ceiling hoods, an exclusive project that combines materials and light to create a comfortable environment”. Besides, the veined stones and the marble grit are again protagonists in the kitchen, and there is a raising of the role of the steel which, from accessible and economical element, becomes the protagonist of the entire kitchen for a high level professional look.
On the aesthetic theme some trends of the last years are confirmed. The imagery of the converted industrial loft is still a trend whose main characteristics are pipes, walls made of raw bricks, metal and cement. Evolution of this style is the industrial chic where the furnishings lose their roughness and acquire a more elegant appearance.

NikolaTesla hob
“In this context – Elica continues – the innovative line of the induction hobs with integrated extraction NikolaTesla represents a perfect combination of innovation and design, expressed through clean lines and a cutting-edge technological heart. The Switch model is characterized by an elegant continuous glass surface, interrupted only by a central ring in metal and glass which, by turning on itself, activates the extraction and guarantees very high performances in terms of captation, noise reduction and energy efficiency. The Libra model stands out for its elegant cast-iron grill, which gives the product a professional look and that integrates not just the hood but also an important tool in the kitchen: the scale”. Finally, the country style is reinterpreted in a modern way, lightening shapes and materials, while in the “scandinese” mood (a contamination between Scandinavian and Japanese styles) the naturalness of Scandinavian design materials meets the simplicity of the Japanese shapes.
