The Orion recirculates without ducting — and makes a statement doing it. Drop-down black or white glass door, dual LED strip lights, 850m³/hr motor, and a long-life ceramic filter included as standard. 175mm total height. Bolt-up installation. For kitchens up to 14m².
Orion Ceiling Cooker Hood — Recirculating. No Ducting. A Drop-Down Glass Door That Means Business.
The Nuvola recirculates quietly and unobtrusively. The Orion has a different personality entirely. When you switch it on, the glass door — black glass in a textured matte black frame, or white glass in a white frame — drops open below the ceiling surface, revealing a high-performance 850m³/hr motor and two LED strip lights that throw clean, even illumination across the hob. It's a mechanism that makes the act of cooking feel considered. The hood announces itself as part of the kitchen design, not an afterthought of it.
And then it does its job. The air passes through a long-life ceramic carbon filter — included as standard, not as an upgrade — and returns to the kitchen clean through the perimeter extraction system. No duct. No ceiling cut-out. No contractor. Bolt it to the ceiling, connect the power, open the door, cook.
The drop-down glass door — functional and theatrical
The safety glass door serves two purposes. Practically, it provides access to the filter system and contains the dual LED strips that light the cooking area below. Aesthetically, it gives the Orion a visual presence that a fixed-panel ceiling hood simply can't replicate. When the hood is off and the door is closed, you see a clean black or white glass rectangle flush to the ceiling — minimal and considered. When it's on and the door is open, the LED strips illuminate the hob and the motor processes the kitchen air silently above. It's the same installation freedom as any recirculating ceiling hood; it just looks entirely different getting there.
Long-life ceramic filter — included, not extra
The Orion includes a long-life ceramic carbon filter as standard. This is the same filter technology available as an upgrade on the Nuvola — a cartridge that lasts two to three years under normal kitchen use and regenerates in a preheated domestic oven rather than being replaced. For buyers who've priced up the ongoing cost of standard charcoal filter replacements every three to six months, the maths on the ceramic filter are compelling — and the fact that it comes included with the Orion removes the upgrade decision entirely.
175mm — fractionally slimmer than the Nuvola
The Orion's 175mm total installation height makes it the slimmest recirculating ceiling hood in the Luxair range — marginally slimmer even than the Nuvola at 182mm. For kitchens with genuine ceiling height constraints, that 7mm can matter. The perimeter extraction design — air drawn in around the full outer edge of the panel — is what allows this thin profile without sacrificing extraction performance across the full 850m³/hr range.
Where the Orion fits
The Orion is built for the same buyers as the Nuvola — apartments, rental properties, listed buildings, and renovation projects where external ducting isn't possible — but it's the right choice specifically when design presence matters as much as the extraction itself. If the ceiling hood should look as deliberate as the kitchen it sits above, the Orion's drop-down glass door delivers that in a way a flush panel doesn't. Suitable for kitchens up to 14m².
