Volcano Cast Iron Hob

Volcano Cast Iron Hob is an innovative built-in cooking appliance that represents a significant advancement in sustainable kitchen design, crafted through a sophisticated single-piece cast iron molding process. This eco-conscious cooking surface, designed by Ahmet Yalçınkaya and the VINOLA ID Team, exemplifies the harmonious fusion of functionality and environmental responsibility through its 100% recyclable composition and distinctive aesthetic appeal. Distinguished by its high-enamel coating technology, a specialized process mastered by only a select few manufacturers globally, the hob features high-efficiency burners that deliver superior performance while maintaining ecological integrity. The design draws inspiration from volcanic formations, evident in its fluid, continuous lines that seamlessly integrate the burners and pan supports into the overall composition. The manufacturing process employs a three-layer electrophoretic enamel coating system: an initial anti-oxidation layer, a black scratch-resistant intermediate layer, and a final aesthetic coating, all of which comply with stringent international safety and quality standards. Measuring 858mm x 520mm x 41mm above the counter, this Bronze A' Design Award-winning appliance in the Home Appliances Design category demonstrates exceptional durability and technical superiority while maintaining a commitment to health and environmental safety through its carefully selected materials and innovative production techniques. The design successfully overcame significant technical challenges, particularly in reconciling the different expansion coefficients of iron and enamel coating, ultimately achieving a superior finish through extensive research and development.
