Handcrafted in Mexico by Master Artisans

This zinc range hood is made by hand in Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico, where families have practiced the art of metal shaping for generations. Every panel is shaped, joined, and finished by a dedicated artisan using tools passed down through time, resulting in a high-quality piece that reflects individuality and skill.

Artisan Testimony

“When I make the Loire Accent, I pay special attention to the curvature of the apron. That shape gives movement to the whole hood. Zinc is strong but elegant—it lets me create that flowing line without losing structure. The rivets are not just decoration; they’re my signature. Each one is placed by hand.”

— Juan Carlos Hernández, Metal Artisan, Santa Clara del Cobre
