Hanging Gardens Pattern… on a large scale

72″ wide zinc range hood with Hanging Gardens pattern

When we introduce a new pattern for production, we try to make sure that it works across the board. Our increasingly-popular Hanging Gardens pattern works equally well on a standard 36″ wide hood as it does on this 39″ tall, 72″ wide masterpiece. This hood, built to hang over a Lacanche Sully 1600, house two separate ventilation units, each one a customized Vent-a-Hood liner. The paint finish is designed to match a heavily patinaed zinc countertop which we were also called on to build.

Inspiration for Hanging Gardens patternThe inspiration for this pattern, as with much of our design, comes from antiquity. This image, from a 1924 sheet metal catalog, shows the height of decoration reached during the Art Nouveau movement. A 60″ projection on cove molding today seems unbelievably excessive, but when the decorative arts were flourishing, it was common to see such extravagances in public buildings, and we pay tribute to the Victorian-era designers who planned such feats by resurrecting some of their motifs in our work.

Creative Patterning…

Pagoda frame hood in ivory with golds

This is only one fine example of what we can do with creative patterning…

Our Cézanne frame was covered with a handmade skin of in-house design, creating this uniquely curvy shape. It was then bathed in heavy cream and washed in gentle layers of golds to create a luxurious, almost decadent feel.

The result is a truly stunning achievement, reminiscent of a wedding cake with its layers, tiers and textures. Innovative, one-of-a-kind, as unique as the client it was created for….

When it comes to building range hoods, the only limit might be your imagination.
