For years, ice has been handled in a simple way: trays in the freezer or the occasional bag of ice. In many cases, that is still enough, so integrating an ice maker is not something that everyone necessarily needs to do.
For years, recirculation was seen as a secondary alternative. The solution for homes without an external duct system or for renovations where there simply was no other option.
There are design decisions that make more sense over time. They are not only meant to stand out, but to improve the way a product is used, and Vita Nua was born from that idea.
Imagine creating delicious meals surrounded by friends and family, enjoying the sun and the breeze. It’s an experience that’s truly priceless, and with all the benefits an outdoor kitchen offers, it’s no surprise we’re obsessed with them too!
We often make the mistake of choosing the extractor hood at the end of the project, almost as an afterthought. However, extraction is the element that most influences the kitchen’s aesthetics (and freedom of movement).
Sometimes all cooktops seem the same… until you start cooking.
Sometimes a fortune is invested in the best kitchen materials and, after the first few weeks of use, something just doesn’t flow.
There is a huge difference between a kitchen where dinner is simply prepared and a kitchen where life happens. When designing a space, the challenge is not only to make the furniture look good, but to ensure that movement flows naturally.
There’s something curious about ice: you only think about it when it’s missing.
When we think about a well-designed kitchen, we usually talk about materials, layout, lighting or appliances. But there’s something we rarely question: how all of that is controlled in everyday life.
When someone renovates a kitchen, they usually spend hours choosing the countertop, the furniture or the lighting. And then the “extractor hood” moment arrives and it goes something like this: “well… a nice one”, “one that doesn’t make noise” or “just the usual one”.
If you don’t have an external exhaust outlet, you need a recirculation solution.
