Product Description
This brutalist mid-century zinc range hood with modular panel design is bold and architectural. A tall rectilinear chimney creates strong vertical structure. A trapezoidal canopy widens toward the base. This forms a tower and plinth composition. Clean planes and expressed seams replace ornament. Shadow line banding adds depth and definition. Matte zinc shows soft tonal variation without shine. The surface feels calm, monolithic, and material forward. Mid century modern and Brutalist principles guide the design. It suits contemporary kitchens valuing clarity and honesty. Request a custom quote today.

The zinc surface is finished in a low-sheen, matte tone that diffuses light and emphasizes mass rather than reflection. Subtle mottling appears within the finish, adding visual movement while keeping the overall reading calm and uniform. The restrained surface character prevents the large planes from feeling flat and reinforces the hood’s architectural intent.

Best Kitchen Styles for This Hood
Mid-century modern kitchen
The hood’s clean symmetry and trapezoid massing match mid-century forms. Matte zinc patina pairs naturally with walnut, oak, terrazzo, and warm stone. The modular panel seams echo the era’s grid-based cabinetry and built-ins.
Modern industrial kitchen
Riveted joinery and expressed seams read engineered, not decorative. The hood works with concrete, steel, brick, and black metal windows. Shadow lines and banding add structure and depth without ornament.
Contemporary minimal kitchen
Large, calm planes plus subtle seams deliver a quiet architectural focal point. Zinc’s soft tonal variation gives interest while staying neutral. It complements flat-panel cabinets, slab stone backsplashes, and restrained hardware.

Installation Tips
Confirm ceiling height, duct location, and insert specifications before finalizing dimensions. The lower edge is typically installed 30 to 36 inches above the cooking surface, depending on local code and blower capacity. Ensure adequate framing or ceiling blocking is in place, especially for island installations.
Care and Maintenance
Clean with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads or acidic cleaners. A neutral wax may be applied periodically to help preserve the finish and slow patina development.
