Ikona Maxxi Pure: Revolutionizing Kitchen Air Quality

Award-winning design by Fabrizio Crisa combines extraction hood and air purifier

The inspiration for the Ikona Maxxi Pure came from the modern trend of open-plan living. As the kitchen and living area have become a single space where people spend much of their day, the need for comfort, elegance, and high-quality air has become paramount. The Ikona Maxxi Pure, created by Elica and designed by Fabrizio Crisa, is a valuable tool in achieving this balance, becoming an integral part of the daily routine.

What sets the Ikona Maxxi Pure apart is its unique dual functionality. The hood and purifier operate independently, ensuring optimal performance without compromising usability. The design incorporates a hood that efficiently eliminates cooking fumes and vapors, while the air purifier takes care of indoor pollutants, improving the overall atmosphere in the home. This eliminates the need for additional devices or complex monitoring systems, which can often be impractical and invasive.

The Ikona Maxxi Pure is user-friendly, with intuitive touch controls for both the hood and purifier. A smart alert feature notifies users when the filters need to be replaced, making maintenance quick and easy. The design is also discreet, with a noise level of just 37 dBA in Super Silent mode, making it as quiet as a library. Available in black soft touch effect or stainless-steel finishes, the Ikona Maxxi Pure offers a wide range of installation options, adding to its versatility.

The design process for the Ikona Maxxi Pure began in September 2020 in Fabriano and concluded in April 2021. The product was exhibited at Area 30 in September 2021. The design is the result of extensive research into air quality and the needs of modern households. The Ikona Maxxi Pure is equipped with a Combo Pure Filter, a combination of Hepa and charcoal filters that capture particles up to 1 micron, relieving allergic symptoms and discomfort caused by indoor pollutants.

The Ikona Maxxi Pure is a testament to the power of innovative design in improving everyday life. By combining a hood and air purifier into one elegant appliance, Fabrizio Crisa and Elica have created a product that not only enhances the aesthetics of the home but also contributes to the wellbeing of its inhabitants. The Platinum A' Design Award is a fitting recognition of this achievement, highlighting the design's exceptional innovation and contribution to societal wellbeing.
