Stilo Wall hood in a stunning Canadian lakeside house

Many thanks to designer and cabinet fabricator Jason Syberg of Iron Wood Cabinet Company who used our Stilo wall hood in this beautiful lakeside kitchen located in Peachland, BC Canada, in the Okanagan lake region.

Jason had this to say about his kitchen design and how the Stilo wall hood fit:

"I designed and built this cabinet package for my own house. I wanted to use natural elements, wood, glass, and metal and have them showcased against a white backdrop. I combined quarter sawn walnut, aluminum and frosted glass doors, paint grade millwork, white quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances including a Faber Stilo hood fan to create a clean modern look that complemented the amazing lake view this property had."

The Stilo because of it's sleek Italian design has always blended well in a contemporary setting. The hood compliments the entire kitchen and the clean lines of the hood match up with the horizontal lines of the cabinetry. And if Jason, a kitchen professional used our hood in his OWN HOME, that means he trusts Faber to be used by his clients! For more information see our website.

The focus of today's Faber blog is a beautiful and very stylish kitchen design by Roost Interior Design of Ashville, North Carolina. Leslie Huntley of Roost Interior Design describes the kitchen design and how Faber fits into the kitchen:

"The homeowners (who are avid cooks) picked the Faber hood because it had the correct capacity to pair with their gas range. We all liked the look of the hood (we were mixing traditional and contemporary in the space so it fit right in). The homeowners do a lot of research on which appliances are the best for busy kitchens, so the fact that they chose a faber means a lot!"

We definitely agree with Leslie and the homeowners that the Stilo Isola matches up well in this transitional design with modern white, sleek cabinetry and the traditional wood flooring. The bold red island plus the stainless masterpiece above it stands out in this kitchen and gives the kitchen a focal point and a "pop". The Stilo Isola hood fan with 600 cfm Pro blower, advanced controls and baffle filters are able to stand up and take the heat from the pro gas stove below.  For more information on Faber hoods visit our website and visit Roost Interior Design to see more of Leslie's designs. Special thanks to Matt Rose Photography

Faber Cristal HC Slide Out hood in Designer Kitchen

This weeks designer spotlight features Kevin Karst Design from Toronto in this stunning kitchen featuring the Cristal HC Slide Out hood by Faber.

Cristal HC by Faber in a Design by Kevin Karst

 This kitchen features high end stainless appliances and a Faber Cristal HC with an aluminum front installed. The designer comments on why he chose this hood by Faber:

“This hood subdued appearance preserves clean simple contemporary cabinet lines without compromising functionality.  I didn’t want the hood to visually compete with the beautiful fiddle-back figure of the English Figured Sycamore cabinet fronts.  I like the idea that it leaps into life only when needed.” - Kevin Karst


We couldn't have said it better! The Cristal HC is meant to integrate into your design and not become the focal point in the kitchen. When you are ready to cook simply pull the visor on the Cristal to reveal a second set of grease filters for a total of 4 filters and 19" of front to back coverage over the cooking surface. If the on/off switches on the lighting and motor are switched to "ON", then once the slider is pulled the range hood turns on and the lights come on. When you are finished cooking, simply slide the visor back in to shut the hood off. 

The beauty of the Cristal HC is how versatile the product is. In the box comes a black, white and brushed aluminum (as seen in the photo above) front strip. The hood can also accept a wood cabinet front so the hood can completely integrate into the kitchen design. With top or direct rear venting, 500 cfm motor and dishwasher safe grease filters, this slide out has the right features for your kitchen. 


For more information on this hood you can visit the product spec webpage.

Minimalism in effect

These photos show the Cristal HC by Faber in a beautifully simple kitchen in New York, designed by Modern Kitchens. The Cristal HC can blend into your kitchen with a very short profile. With a white, aluminum or black face plate that comes in the box, or by simply attaching your own custom face to the hood, it is a very versatile product from a design standpoint. With white cabinetry and glass above the stove, the Cristal blends into this elegantly designed kitchen. When you are ready for the hood to take a starring role in the kitchen simply slide out the visor to reveal 2 sets of grease filters and lighting. The Cristal's motor and lighting will turn on when you slide out the 7 inch long visor to help ventilate your kitchen. When you are finished cooking, simply slide the visor back in. Visit our website for more information.

Designer Photo - aligned with upper cabinets

The Orizzonte by Faber is a designer hood with multiple fan speed settings, an LED read out screen, multiple light settings and a auto shut down timer. The coolest design feature of the hood is the recommended height off the cooking surface. As seen in the photo, the Orizzonte is installed 18" off the counter, or the same height as the upper cabinets. This creates a fluid design where the hood becomes part of the cabinet lines in your kitchen. See more about this hood at www.faberonline.com

New design idea in your kitchen

Here is a design idea for your kitchen that is innovative and very functional. Take a canopy hood such as the Stilo by Faber, and create shelves around the chimney stack to give you extra storage space and at the same time make a design statement unique to your kitchen. Visit our webpage for the Stilo product page and 25 other rangehoods from Faber.

First Post of the Day - kitchen designs that revolve around the rangehood

We at Faber like to think that the hood is always the center of the design in the kitchen. We know this will not always be the case. But by seeing this photo above from faberonline.com of the Axia Isola - you can see how a rangehood can completely change the look of a room and make a design impact in the kitchen.
