A revolution in kitchen odour extraction
T
rends in kitchen design come and go, but one that has become more a way
of life than a passing fad is the move towards open-plan kitchen living spaces. With this has come the evolution of extraction systems as we know them, with a significant shift towards downdraft extractors and all the benefits that this technology brings. In an open-plan kitchen it is more important

than ever that smells from cooking aren’t left to linger long after the meal has been enjoyed. From cushions and curtains to clothes, any soft furnishings and materials can be left with an unpleasant smell that is difficult to wash off unless the extraction system in an open-plan kitchen is sufficient. However, a head-height extractor hood can constrain the room’s design – depending on where it is sited it can create a visual obstacle and restrict the room’s layout, particularly when it needs to be sited above an island unit right in the
centre of the kitchen. Inventiveness is required: who wants to visually overload a small kitchen with a bulky hood? Less is more – providing it is well-thought-out and carefully designed. How can you create a clever and chic design that also offers great technical efficiency in just a few square metres?
The solution is the downdraft extraction hob,
which quite literally removes the steam and odours away from pots and pans exactly as they arise, drawing them downwards before they have the chance to permeate the air. Grease particles released during cooking are effectively trapped in the filter, so that it feels like cooking and living in fresh air. With the extraction system built into the
cooktop, a seamless and minimal finish is achieved, with the design of the space overall not compromised in any way. - Willi Bruckbauer, Founder of BORA
BORA: Multiple advantages in one streamlined product B
ORA Professional 3.0 is a modular system that can be customised to
suit individual requirements. It comes with a wide range of cooktops, from surface induction and gas through to the Tepan stainless steel grill for precise temperature control, all of which can be combined with the downdraft extraction system. With an impressive depth of 54cm, the cooktops and cooking zones provide ample space for cooking with even very large pots, pans and roasters, while the extraction system removes
odours and vapours at source, automatically adjusting to the cooktop usage and with quiet operation. The design highlight of the BORA Professional 3.0 is the subtle, stainless steel control knob with a black glass front and sensitive touch-operated surface with a high- definition, white LED display. Setting new standards in functionality and
design meanwhile, BORA X Pure features an extra-wide cooktop and a striking air inlet nozzle, which makes an impressive visual style statement.
A unique vertical slider makes operating the
cooktop easier than ever by intuitively swiping your finger up or down or tapping the controls, while the optimum airflow and an extremely quiet fan
make BORA X Pure perfect for even open-plan spaces. In recirculation mode, odours are neutralised by a highly efficient activated charcoal filter, preventing them permeating soft furnishings or lingering in the air.
