Just about anything will beat the clunky look of traditional range hoods, but it’s refreshing to see a design that pushes the aesthetic for this often overlooked appliance. The design opens when it’s in use and closes when it’s off in order to cut its elevated footprint in half. Its grey and black stealthy aesthetic is contrasted by an organic shape that looks right at home in the kitchen. If nothing else, we like it for the way it makes itself sparse! Designer: Myung Ah Lee
