This range hood was designed for Proline Range Hoods to sell in the Chinese market. Proline manufactures it’s hoods overseas and Proline’s founder Mark Zuro has seen the huge potential in marketing American made products to the growing middle class in China. He tasked me with designing a hood for that market and this is the result of that assignment. The Chinese style of range hoods are different than American hoods, that market values low profile, sleek designs, with black glass being a huge selling point. The Chinese style of cooking in a wok creates a lot of steam and grease, I designed this hood to be low profile but to raise up to capture all of that steam.
