The Lazio is Luxair's handcrafted Italian island hood for standard kitchen islands — Venturi perimeter extraction that's up to 25% quieter than conventional designs, A+ 800m³/hr motor, dimmable LED lighting, and central chimney installation. 90cm or 120cm. Matt Black or Brushed Stainless Steel.
Lazio Island Cooker Hood — Italian Craftsmanship. Quieter by Design. Sized for Your Kitchen.
The Lazio is the right island cooker hood for buyers who've decided they want Italian quality and premium extraction, but whose kitchen has a 90cm hob rather than a wide range cooker, and whose open-plan layout means they'll notice every decibel the extractor produces. It brings the same Venturi Effect perimeter extraction technology as the Arezzo — the same handcrafted Italian build quality, the same A+ rated 700m³/hr motor — in 90cm and 120cm sizes that fit the majority of UK kitchen islands.
And it's quieter. Not marginally quieter — up to 25% quieter. The Venturi extraction design reduces operational noise by up to 3dB compared to conventional island hood designs by drawing air in smoothly around the full perimeter of the panel rather than forcing it through a central extraction point. In an open-plan kitchen where the extractor is audible from the living area, that difference is perceptible to everyone in the room.
Venturi perimeter extraction — the engineering behind the quiet
Air flows along the edge of the Lazio's full-body door panel and accelerates through the constricted perimeter channel — the Venturi Effect — creating a low-pressure zone that draws cooking vapours inward across the entire width of the hood. Because the air is moving smoothly and evenly rather than being dragged through a single central point, the motor works less hard at any given extraction rate, and the sound output drops accordingly. The heavy-duty metal grease filters, positioned within this airflow path, capture up to 80% of airborne grease before it reaches the motor — extending motor life and reducing the frequency of deep cleaning needed.
Central chimney — balanced airflow, cleaner installation
The Lazio uses a central chimney configuration: the duct connection rises from the centre of the hood rather than from the left or right side. In most new-build and renovation kitchens where the island duct has been planned from the outset, the duct rises directly above the island centreline — making a central chimney the natural, cleanest installation. The symmetrical design also means the hood looks balanced from any angle in the room, with the chimney appearing as a deliberate geometric element rather than an offset feature.
Dynamic dimmable LEDs — warm to cool, your choice
The Lazio's dimmable LED lighting is adjustable in colour temperature — warm tones for evening ambient use, cooler tones for task lighting during cooking. The black glass touch controls handle both fan speed and lighting from the panel itself, with no separate remote required for standard operation. For kitchens where the Lazio is installed at standard ceiling height and the island is centrally placed, the touch panel is within easy reach from most cooking positions.
Two sizes. Two finishes. Italian quality at the right scale.
Available in 90cm and 120cm, in Matt Black and Brushed Stainless Steel. The 90cm is suited to standard single-zone island hobs and compact kitchen islands. The 120cm provides extraction coverage for larger cooking surfaces and creates a stronger visual presence above a centrepiece island. Both carry the same A+ motor, the same Venturi extraction, and the same Italian craftsmanship. Ducted externally for best performance via 150mm (6") round or 220mm × 90mm flat ducting, or recirculated via charcoal filters where external ducting isn't possible.
