Falmec “Manifesto” at EuroCucina

Passion, freedom, comfort, wellbeing, conviviality and functionality: these are the key elements of the Falmec “Manifesto” at the 23rd edition of EuroCucina/FTK 2022. The company is showing its solutions in a booth divided into different thematic areas, built around the philosophy of Falmec’s keywords. Passion is also deep relationship with the territory: the company has chosen to localize the entire production in the Vittorio Veneto headquarters (Italy, in the “inox valley”) and collaborates with a local network of highly specialized suppliers who transfer their knowledge in the quality of the products. Freedom means design freedom to build-up and installation. The new Elements collection is the expression of this free approach with its systems Monolith, Shelf and Air Wall, where the suction element becomes part of the modular and multifunction architecture. With Elements, the traditional concept of the hood disappears, leaving the extraction function to totally integrate with the kitchen project. As regards to the comfort, Falmec proposes the NRS technology: thanks to in-depth studies and important partnerships with specialised laboratories in fluid dynamics, NRS reduces the noise of the hood by up to -86% of sound power. Besides, well-being means better air quality: E.ion System technology with the active ions, Circle.Tech with its filtering system, and the recent Multi-Air, with its ultra-compact body, best express the desire to create well-being spaces within the kitchen. In addition, the company proposes its integrated cooking systems: these products, that combine extraction with cooking thanks to a unique body totally placed at the top, have now been adapted for island kitchens, expression of sociality and sharing. Finally, Falmec products are realized balancing refined design, ergonomics and high level performances.
