The extractor hood is something of an unsung hero of the modern kitchen. In the past, architects designed separate kitchens to keep cooking smells and smoke from the rest of the house. Today, thanks to these appliances, people can enjoy more of each other’s company in open kitchen spaces, either while cooking together or, better still, keeping the cook company while they do the work. Despite their near ubiquity, however, innovation in the design of extractors, both in technical and design terms, continues.
