Hood Design Features
This design is defined by restraint and architectural balance. The bell-shaped canopy introduces softness and visual volume, the recessed apron creates depth through shadow, and the rectangular chimney keeps the form grounded in simplicity. Together, these elements create a timeless zinc range hood that feels both traditional and contemporary.
Silhouette & Proportions
The lower made of zinc metal body is shaped as a smooth bell canopy, with curved sidewalls that expand outward from the recessed apron before transitioning into a broad lower skirt. This profile increases visual presence without making the hood feel heavy. The chimney remains straight and restrained, allowing the curved lower section to take focus while preserving a balanced vertical composition.
Surface & Seams
The natural zinc surface presents a soft gray tone with subtle tonal variation that adds depth without glare. Its smooth exterior emphasizes the purity of the form, while the recessed apron introduces a clean shadow line that breaks the vertical mass and gives the hood architectural layering. Small exposed fasteners at the apron ends reinforce the handcrafted construction while remaining visually restrained.

Each hood is proportioned carefully so the recessed apron and bell canopy remain visually balanced at every size.
Mounting Style
This design is typically configured for wall-mounted installation, allowing the curved canopy and recessed apron to serve as a focal point above the cooking surface. We can prepare the hood for different liner and blower systems depending on your kitchen layout, while preserving the clean architectural proportions that define the design.
Patina and Finish
Shown in natural zinc, this hood offers the soft gray surface and evolving patina that make zinc so valued in European architecture.

Shipping & Returns
Each hood is made to order and ships in protective wood crating. Typical production time is six to eight weeks plus transit. Inspect the shipment upon delivery and note any visible damage with the carrier. Unused standard items may be returned within thirty days, while custom configurations are final sale. See our shipping and returns policy for full details.
Maintenance and Care
Clean the zinc surface with a soft cloth and mild soap, then dry it immediately to avoid residue. Avoid abrasive products, ammonia, and acidic cleaners. The natural zinc finish is low maintenance and develops added character over time, making it both practical and visually enduring.
Installation Tips
Mount the canopy at the appropriate height above the cooktop according to liner specifications and local code. Anchor the hood securely to wall studs or structural blocking, and coordinate the duct path before installation. Proper leveling is especially important so the recessed apron reads as a clean architectural line.
Insert & Performance
Select an insert sized to your cooking surface and cooking style. As a general guide, target approximately 100 to 200 CFM per linear foot of cooktop. The bell-shaped canopy supports effective smoke capture, while the recessed apron and rectangular chimney preserve the clean appearance of the design.
