DESIGN NAME: Supreme
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Worktop Range Hood
INSPIRATION: Kitchens, which have become an important living space, become areas where we enjoy spending our time when completed with elegantly designed functional products. Products integrated into the kitchen offer us larger areas, making our lives easier. Countertop hood solutions with integrated hobs are saving space in kitchens thanks to the 2-in-1 cooking experience they offer. It is aimed to offer maximum performance and allow the user to have extremely practical and compact cooking experience with its easy to clean seamless surfaces.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Supreme is a hybrid product that provides flexible and comprehensive cooking experience by integrating the extractor hood and hob into one single surface. High performance, ease of use and maintaining are the core elements of the design. Improved air extraction cone has just 18 cm depth which ensures enough space for the drawers of the counter top. The compact 18cm slim structure ensures maximum use of storing space under the counter top. All details of this efficient design intents to simplify and speed up cleaning operations. The new generation motor technology of Supreme offers A++ Energy class and 620 m3/h flow rate.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Supreme is a hybrid product that combines air extraction with the induction hob, so all the components of the product are designed to provide the comfort of the end-user. The motor component is placed to the inner panel of the countertop, which provides ease of assembly, so the height of induction hob is lowered to 18cm. This thinness offers usable space for the drawers of the countertop. Additionally, the separated motor unit has a water draining unit, which provides easy evacuate. Induction cooking technology provides a high level of safety. All of the control panels are on the seamless surface of the hob. The functions like bridge cooking, which two cooking zones can be merged for bigger pots and pans improve the flexibility of cooking experience. The separated air extraction motor unit has a water draining unit, which provides easy evacuate. Inside of the air extraction cone can be cleaned easily and the components like the air-extraction grill or the carbon filter can be easily removed, washed in the dishwasher.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in April 2018 in Merzifon and finished in August 2018 in Merzifon, and was exhibited in IFA 2018, in Berlin and IMM Cologne 2019.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Home Appliances Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Supreme stands out from the competition by the aluminum extrusion grill for the extraction feature, which creates a timeless and robust design with the use of high-quality materials. The Aluminium grill is manufactured by molding. The other components like the air extractor cone, funnels are molded plastics.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Width 850 mm x Depth 520 mm x Height 180 mm

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Research and development department leads the research phase of the performance-oriented product, collaborating with the product management and Design team in Istanbul. Benchmarking, performance test are the essential parts of the research phase, which limits the design of the aluminium extraction grill.
CHALLENGE: The challenge is designing a stand-out grill, which supports and not limited the expected feature of high performance and high airflow rate of the motor. During product development phase a mutual collaboration among ID and RnD is essential to overcome the performance limitations and not losing any design value.
