An island kitchen built around the hood

The HAFELE Vetra Isola 90 hangs from the ceiling over the island, so there is no wall behind the cook. Pair it with a hob no wider than the hood; the 90 cm Vetra covers the 86 cm Altius Plus Matt 490 four-burner gas hob, and its 1,200 m³/h extraction needs a 6-inch duct, so agree the duct route with the ceiling.

Put the oven in a tall unit at eye height. The Diamond 77 Bio built-in oven there is easier to check and safer to lift from than one under the counter.

The sink run gets a BLANCO Metra 9 granite sink with a drainer bowl and a Linus-S pull-out mixer in a matching dark finish. Matrixbox Premium soft-close drawers under the hob hold pots and pans where you use them.
