The Linea Island has a sealed black glass undercarriage panel with two 7W LED strips built in — when they're on, the glass glows. When they're off, you see a frameless black glass plane below an ultra-slim body. Touch controls integrated into the glass. 800m³/hr Venturi extraction. 90cm. Black or Stainless Steel.
Linea Island Cooker Hood — The Sealed Black Glass Underside That Sets It Apart
Most island cooker hoods, viewed from below, reveal their mechanics. You see the filter mesh, the motor housing aperture, discrete light fittings, and the structural frame that holds it all together. This is fine when the hood is purely functional. It's less fine when the hood is supposed to be the design centrepiece of an open kitchen.
The Linea Island is built around a different principle. Its black glass drop-down undercarriage panel closes to present a completely sealed, frameless plane of black glass to anyone standing in the room below. The two 7W LED strips are integrated within this panel — so when they're on, the glass doesn't have visible light sources projecting from it; the glass itself glows. The result is an island hood that looks finished from every angle: not like an appliance with a glass front, but like a suspended plane of luminous black glass above the cooking surface.
Black glass — both finishes, one aesthetic
The Linea Island is available in Stainless Steel and Black — but both variants share the same black glass drop-down undercarriage. The stainless steel body with black glass underside creates a two-tone contrast that reads as premium and considered. The all-black variant is fully uniform — black glass below, black body above — and disappears into dark kitchen schemes almost completely while the LED strips are off. The curved corners on the body soften what would otherwise be a sharp geometric form, giving the Linea a refined quality that's visible on close inspection.
Venturi perimeter extraction — quieter by design
The Linea Island uses the same Venturi Effect perimeter extraction principle as the Lazio and Caporra island hoods — air drawn in and accelerated around the full perimeter of the glass panel before extraction, rather than through a single central motor draw. This produces a smoother, more even airflow capture across the full width of the hood and contributes to quieter motor operation at any given extraction speed. At 800m³/hr, the Linea Island's motor is well-suited to standard 90cm island hobs and open-plan kitchen-diners. Ducted externally via 150mm (6") ducting for maximum performance, or recirculated with charcoal filters where external ducting isn't possible.
Touch glass controls — the panel operates itself
The backlit LED touch panel is built directly into the black glass undercarriage — there are no separate control buttons or panels. To operate the Linea, you touch the glass. The controls are illuminated when it's on. This integration of controls into the glass surface is what makes the Linea look sealed and complete even with the undercarriage panel down. The aluminium grease filters are accessible by lowering the panel — dishwasher-safe and straightforward to remove and replace. Register within 31 days for seven years of parts and labour warranty.
