Franke UK, supplier of integrated kitchen solutions, has expanded its premium range of kitchen hoods with the introduction of the Mythos T-Shelf Evolution. The eye-catching island hood combines exceptional extraction performance with striking architectural lines and is designed to turn the kitchen island into the real centrepiece of your cooking space.

Measuring 160cm wide, the Mythos T-Shelf Evolution features two 80cm full light panels that provide versatile lighting. With its dimmer function, users can adjust the light intensity for both task lighting during food preparation and softer ambient lighting for entertaining or relaxation.

The tuneable lighting option allows the user to adjust the colour temperature from warm to cool, offering the perfect lighting for any occasion. It offers versatile 360° usability, with its user interface and lighting features strategically positioned for optimal accessibility and ease of use from any angle.

Equipped with adjustable smoke-grey glass shelves, which can be installed at three different height settings according to preference, the Mythos T-Shelf Evolution also offers valuable storage space, ideal for keeping kitchen essentials like cookbooks or utensils, or for displaying decorative items. The hood’s sleek design ensures it integrates seamlessly into contemporary kitchen spaces, enhancing both form and function.

The Mythos T-Shelf Evolution also features Franke’s K-LINK technology, allowing the hood to interact with Mythos induction hobs. This technology automatically adjusts the hood’s suction power according to the cooking level on the hob, ensuring continuous airflow during cooking, effectively removing fumes and odours without manual intervention. The hood can be operated both via touch controls located on both sides of the hood or via a remote control for added convenience and is suitable for recirculating and ducted installations.

Silvia Gamberoni, head of global category management Hoods at Franke, said: “Here at Franke, we are always striving to enhance and improve the experience of our consumers. With its exceptional full-panel lighting, our new Mythos T-Shelf Evolution island hood is a brilliant example of outstanding functionality and stunning design, combined to perfectly fit and adapt to the needs of the modern consumer. This is a product that really becomes the focal point of the kitchen, allowing the user to adjust the lighting according to the mood they want to create. We’re extremely proud to present a product that provides a truly seamless, authentic living experience.”
