The Magnum hood meets a modern BBAUER design

The Magnum hood by Faber is showcased in this fabulous designer kitchen in New York by Bren Bauer Ferdinand of BBAUER Ventures. You can get the designers perspective on the materials and the other appliances used by visiting her blog FORTUNATA Live Beautifully.

Here is a quote from the designer about the Faber Magnum in her kitchen setting, "I chose this hood essentially because it worked with the modern, organic elements of this kitchen and liked that it was not overly modern, was a great hood for a home chef, and worked well with the Miele cooktop and base oven. The price was right too." - Bren Bauer Ferdinand

We can't thank Bren Bauer Ferdinand enough for her comments, and praise for Faber! We would completely agree that the modern style of the kitchen and all the style elements in the designer kitchen lend to the use of this particular hood. Even the shape of the rectangular back splash tiles matches the shape of the Magnum with a rectangular front. The 3 halogen lights of the hood call attention to the glossy Heath Ceramics, Olive tiles.

The Pro style cooktop and oven match up very well with the hoods modern pro styling. Not to mention the potential BTU output of the cooktop will be handled well by the 600 cfm Pro motor in this model. As the designer states, the hood is not "overly modern". Given the pro hood heritage of this Magnum hood, it is a hybrid between the traditional big box pro rangehood and a curvy euro-styled hood. The size of the Magnum is also perfect for this kitchen. At 10 inches tall, the proportions are just right between the cabinets and amount of tile showing. A shorter hood would seem squeezed and a taller hood would be massive. Finally, in all the years of recirculating applications we've seen, this is a very clever way to put air back in the kitchen. The attractive metal return grate above the hood fits in with the modern feel of the kitchen and works functionally to bring filtered air into the kitchen.

Dama Classic Canopy Rangehood by Faber

The Dama range hood from Faber is a classic designer canopy hood with simple and elegant style. The two pictures shown in this posting, demonstrates how a classic designer hood can add so much to this traditional large scale open kitchen.

The clean, light colored traditional cabinets, the light tiles on the floor and the brick work behind the range hood, all match up well with the stainless appliances in this kitchen. The stainless appliances stand out and complement the cabinetry, flooring, island and walls.

The front nose of the Dama hood also perfectly matches the nose of the cooking appliance which is squared off with sharp edges. The arch way above the cooking and range hood also draw your attention towards the hood and stove. Finally the work surfaces and work flow in this kitchen appear very fluid and efficient. Despite the distance between the sink and stove, the center island is big enough that all prep work can be done there. For more information visit our website, faberonline.com
