Overall silhouette and proportions
The hood follows a traditional bell profile with a smooth outward flare at the base and a tall chimney above. This proportion creates strong visual grounding over the cooktop while drawing the eye upward, making the hood especially effective in kitchens with higher ceilings or statement wall elevations.
Zinc finish and surface character
The zinc body is finished smooth with a soft, low-glare surface that shows subtle tonal variation rather than shine. This cool silver-gray tone feels authentic and aged, allowing the form to read as timeless rather than trendy while pairing easily with stone, plaster, and painted cabinetry.
Brass straps and rivet detailing
Vertical brass straps are hand-fitted over the zinc shell and secured with evenly spaced rivets. These elements reference historic European metalwork where structure and decoration were one and the same. The brass introduces warmth and rhythm without overwhelming the calm zinc surface.
Design influence and heritage
This hood draws from Provençal and Tuscan kitchen traditions, where mixed metals such as zinc, brass, and pewter were commonly used. The combination reflects techniques rooted in historic European workshops, giving the hood an old-world presence grounded in functional craftsmanship.

Artisan Testimony
Each zinc panel is shaped by hand before the brass straps are fitted and riveted in place. The spacing of every rivet is measured to maintain symmetry and balance, ensuring the hood feels crafted rather than decorative.
