Promotion: a sleek "hood-in-hob" extractor fan, designed as an alternative to an overhead device, is among the minimalist kitchen products created by Swedish brand Asko.

Know for creating understated cooking appliances informed by Scandinavian minimalism, Asko recently unveiled the Elevate "hood-in-hob", which combines an automatic tower extractor fan and an advanced induction hob.

When activated, the tower automatically rises from the centre of the hob, providing a clutter-free alternative to an obstructive overhead appliance.

The extraction tower includes five different extraction levels as well as automatic and manual clean air functions. According to the brand it has "superior, near-silent performance".

"What really lifts Elevate above the rest is its user-friendly design," continued the brand.

"By removing the extractor from the wall or ceiling, Elevate lets you view the kitchen from a completely new perspective – a blank canvas where anything is possible."

Another appliance is the Celsius Cooking hob system

Elevate has been developed using the latest induction cooking technology, featuring the Celsius Cooking system.

A series of add-ons are available – such as a smart pan, pot and a thermometer, which communicate via Bluetooth and work to ensure that food on the hob is cooked at the right heat for the optimal time.

"Home chefs can finally – and confidently – say goodbye to undercooking, overcooking or overboiling," said Asko.

Wine Climate Cabinets

Described as a "personal sommelier", Wine Climate Cabinets is Asko's smart solution to a traditional wine cellar.

Available in four different variants, the vibration-free cabinets are controlled by smart technology, which optimises the light conditions, UV light protection and humidity monitoring of the wine they store.

The contents of the black-hued cabinets can be managed using an interface connected to a camera, an app and a "Vivino" database.

The product comes in four iterations

The company calls its ASKO DW60 "the world's most reliable and responsible dishwasher".

The steel model uses UV light to eliminate 99.9 per cent of bacteria, fungi and viruses on crockery, according to the brand. 

With a loading height of up to 58 centimetres, the dishwater has "the world's tallest loading-height and the largest loading capacity", explained Asko.

ASKO DW60 can accommodate 17 place settings that can be cleaned and dried, while users can also stay connected to their dishwasher via the Connect Life app – the same technology used by the Wine Climate Cabinets.

Fridge by Asko
The brand has also designed a refrigerator

The brand has also designed a freestanding refrigerator characterised by the same fluid design features as the rest of its products.

Asko's fridge was created to store more food for longer and reduce waste as a result of its automatic humidity control function.

A cooling system, called Cool Flow+, ensures that the fridge's temperature is rapidly restored even after opening and closing the door.

There is also the option to separately control the temperature of individual drawers – adding "unbeatable flexibility" to the model.

"This is a fully automated process that prevents fruits and vegetables from drying or decaying," said the brand.

The fridge's freezer compartment can also be converted into a fridge, depending on the user's preferences.

Finished in either stainless steel, white or black steel, the product was created to be flexible around different interior settings.

"Our products are made to save energy, reduce emissions and increase recycling and reuse," concluded the brand.

"Asko kitchen appliances are made with a better future in mind."
