NOVY / PHANTOM
Island mounted cooker hood
Prodotto has supported Novy to expand its decorative island extractor range with this award winning eye-catcher.
Prodotto's Contribution
1. A housing made out of light translucent glass
2. Integrated corner spotlights that bring a box-in-box design to life
3. A frame suspension system for an industrial look (patent pending)
4. A height-adjustable cable system for a minimalistic look
5. Led lining (based on our Novy Pureline Pro led design)
6. Packaging Design
Approach
We discussed preliminary idea sketches together with product management and marketing. We talked through their weaknesses and threats with r&d and engineering. We turned insights into opportunities and solutions. During the process a hands on approach was needed. We made several light setups, frames, cable system's, sheetmetal parts and many other test setup's in order to validate ideas.
Result
We managed to translate technical and mechanical limitations into new clever design opportunities that will make Novy stand out. The result is a stylish and innovative cooker hood that comes with two height adjustable suspension types. Especially the framed version is very unique. It's patent pending system allows it to be very thin and lightweight since all forces applied on the cooker hood are neutralized in a very clever way!

Box in box design
An analytical approach, the right CAD methodolog and a prototyping mindset to validate ideas were key throughout the process. All this has led, among other things, to a unique light setup. All Phantom's are equiped with led downlight spots, a led lining on top and 4 minimalistic corner spots that bring the box-in-box design to life.
