Notebook DATES DESIGN DIARY FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL EXTRACTION
The new F102 cooker hood from Mertz boast an eye-catching box shape reminiscent of Bauhaus design. It incorporates an inner stainless steel lined cavity, which is ideal for storing or displaying kitchen equipment or cooking ingredients. Made from white or black glass with mark-resistant brushed stainless steel sides, this innovative 90 cm wide
extractor also has 4-speed touch controls with a user-friendly 5, 10 and 15 minute timer facility. An auto heat sensor sets the extraction speed automatically according to the level of heat from the hob. The F102 has a powerful extraction capacity of 600 cubic metres per hour and uses a ‘perimeter laminar flow’ (PLF) function to concentrate fumes at the edges, exhausting them before they escape into the room.

MATERIAL MATTERS
According to French design studio 5.5 Designers, one of the main questions that arises when designing a radiator is which material to use in order to capture the essence of the object, which is after all, the invisible and immaterial concept of heat. It is for this reason that the design collective proposed to use the technology offered by SGG Thermovit’s fully transparent glass radiators, for their collaboration with French design laboratory SAAZS in the Material Matters exhibition during Milan Design Week. The exhibition saw a number of well-known designers and design studios coming up with innovative designs for architecture, decoration and design using the two key materials of leather and glass. Using the clear heated glass panels from Thermovit, 5.5
Designers presented a radiator designed to resemble an artificial landscape in which the materials symbolize the ambiant heat.

FLOORSPACE Designed by Riccardo Fattori, this new range of decorative rugs is intended for use in the bathroom. A painter by profession, Fattori also turns his hand to design and his most recent collaboration with bathroom company Antonio Lupi has resulted in this unusual range of modular carpets. According to Fattori, he drew his
inspiration from the expansive landscapes encountered on a journey from East to West, crossing and linking different cultures, which he has translated into an imaginary voyage on our floors. The carpets are made from bonded
leather and neoprene and are hand-sewn and hand-assembled. They all have an ivory white background with a choice of eight colours for the foreground design, which can be mixed and matched to create different effects.
