Product Description
Introduce Spanish flair and handcrafted refinement to your kitchen with the Rioja Rustic Zinc Range Hood, a trapezoidal statement piece that captures the raw beauty of traditional Iberian design. Featuring a clean, smooth zinc surface and a bold architectural crown, this custom range hood brings structure, symmetry, and style to kitchens that embrace rustic elegance and cultural character.
Inspired by the architecture of La Rioja in northern Spain—known for its stonework, vineyard estates, and noble haciendas—this zinc hood evokes the simplicity and strength of Spanish design principles. The body of the hood showcases a gently flared, trapezoidal silhouette, widening at the base to anchor it visually above your range. The shape creates visual balance and a commanding presence, while the polished zinc finish gives it a soft sheen that subtly reflects ambient light, enhancing the sculptural form.
Its minimal design is elevated by bold details: the oversized crown molding adds volume and gravity at the top, contrasting the tapering midsection of the body. Along the base, thick horizontal trim visually frames the hood while reinforcing its rustic charm. Without decorative straps or rivets, this model stands out for its smooth simplicity and perfectly proportioned form.

Why Choose the Rioja Rustic Zinc Hood?
The Rioja Rustic is ideal for kitchens that balance clean geometry with rustic materials. Its shape is distinctly Spanish, yet the absence of ornamental elements makes it a refined choice for transitional, Mediterranean, or modern farmhouse interiors. It pairs effortlessly with natural wood cabinetry, terra cotta tiles, or even modern white walls—adapting to your vision while retaining its artisanal soul.
Crafted from brushed zinc, this range hood has a living surface that will naturally develop a patina over time. You can opt to let it darken gradually, enriching its rustic quality, or seal it to preserve its light, silvery appearance. Either way, it tells a story—one shaped by both the artisan’s hand and your kitchen’s daily rhythm.
Each Rioja Rustic hood is handcrafted in Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico, by skilled metal artisans who use traditional shaping, welding, and polishing techniques passed down over generations. This heritage craftsmanship ensures durability and beauty in equal measure. And beyond its aesthetics, this range hood provides high-performance ventilation to maintain a clean and comfortable cooking space.

Artisan Testimony
"We treat each piece of zinc like a canvas. The curves and angles of the Rioja model challenge our tools in the best way—it becomes a sculpture, not just a hood. And the polished finish? It’s like finishing a fine guitar. We polish by hand until the light dances across it." — Juan Carlos Hernández, Master Artisan
