Haiku: A Poetic Fusion of Form, Function, and Elegance

Fabrizio Crisà's Award-Winning Design Combines Minimalism with High Performance

Haiku, a design by Fabrizio Crisà, is a range of cooker hoods that epitomizes the essence of simplicity, elegance, and performance. Inspired by the minimalist yet conceptually rich Japanese poetry form, Haiku hoods offer a harmonious blend of form, materials, and functionality.

Haiku hoods are a testament to the power of simplicity. The design draws inspiration from traditional T-shaped hoods, reimagined with a modern aesthetic. Available in wall versions of 32, 60, 90, and 120 cm and in island versions of 32, 120, 180 cm, these hoods offer a host of features that sit in complete harmony with their minimalist form.

The design process of Haiku began with an intense benchmarking exercise, followed by a deep dive into the needs and preferences of the target consumers - high-end kitchen owners. The goal was to create a product that could seamlessly integrate into modern kitchens, with simplicity and elegance as the key design principles.

Haiku hoods are not just about aesthetics. They also offer high performance and user-friendly features. The hoods feature a simple yet intuitive button dashboard for controlling aspiration and lighting. Moreover, they are among the quietest products on the market, ensuring a pleasant user experience even at maximum speed.

The production process of Haiku hoods involves innovative technologies such as fusion for the cast iron grids, water jet for the foreground panel, injection moulding for plastic components, and industrial folding for the chimney. This ensures a high-quality, durable product that stands the test of time.

Haiku's unique design and high performance have not gone unnoticed. The range was awarded Platinum in A' Home Appliances Design Award in 2019, a prestigious accolade that recognizes world-class, exceptional, and highly innovative designs. This award is a testament to the design's unmatched professionalism, genius, and contribution to societal wellbeing.

In conclusion, Haiku by Fabrizio Crisà is a perfect blend of form, function, and elegance. It is a design that tells a story, a product that brings poetry into the everyday life of its users. With its minimalist form, high performance, and user-friendly features, Haiku is truly a disruptive product in the world of kitchen appliances.
