A contemporary Veil transforms the look of an appliance that made kitchen history: the classic extractor hood. Veil is a new, wall-mounted hood designed by Samuel Codegoni for Faber. The revolutionary design and unique aesthetics are strong points of this Faber model.

The name is a direct pointer to the essence of this model: a flexi, curvy front sheet which seems to hang in space. Not dissimilar to a veil, in fact. Veil functions as a clearly defined fixture, of course. At the same time, there is something light and airy about it which deliberately plays tricks with the eye and with space.

That’s right, confirms the designer. Veil plays with surfaces on various planes. They move fluidly, breaking up ordinary volumes and producing a ‘trompe l’oeuil’ effect. The sinuous shape of the hood seems almost to hover. In reality, there is a gap between the rectangular sheet and the wall to which it is attached – but you don’t notice that at first sight.

Veil, by Samuel Codegoni for Faber, is metal painted in opaque black matt, white corian and white gloss.

Designer Samuel Codegoni followed the same principle for Pareo. He transformed a sheet of stainless steel, used for wire cloth, into a telescopic hood. Using Faber’s up&down technology, the product gently moves close to the burners. The cylinders which make up the appliance are operated by simple remote control. They slide into each other, closing or opening the telescope, like a cloth folded and refolded on each occasion to create the most appropriate garment or silk-wrapped package. 

As part of Faber’s F-light Generation line, the Pareo extractor hood combines metallic elegance with the most innovative technology and top functional performance. Designed in co-operation between Codegoni and Faber’s R&D division.
