For tis design innovation and technology, the project has been has been awarded a 2024 Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture, Design, and Urban Studies.
The main objective of this project was to offer a brand-new experience by taking every single detail into account, ensuring excellent cooking performance with embedded technological improvements.
Key design goals included an improved and simplified user interface, user-friendly and environmentally friendly features, compatibility with various kitchen layouts, and performance-enhancing details.
The new SmokeTech built-in oven brings ease of use to the built-in oven concept with its Full Touch LED user interface, offering a sleek approach that becomes nearly invisible when the oven is off, blending seamlessly into different kitchen environments.
The innovative smoker feature allows users to place wood chips into a smoker tube, enhancing meal flavors with a stream of smoke.
The intuitive UI controls make this process easy to manage, ensuring precise temperature and time settings.
This unique smoking technique not only introduces new cooking methods but also differentiates the brand, raising consumer interest as the first oven with an integrated smoker.
Characterized by its elegant black glass with line-shaped screen printing, the SmokeTech oven features a minimalistic design and an integrated handle, providing a flatter, more cohesive look in the kitchen.
Additionally, the oven incorporates HotAirShield technology, which uses regular airflow to create an air curtain when the door is opened, protecting the user from hot and wet air.
The oven can also be controlled via WiFi, adding convenience. Designed with sustainability in mind, the SmokeTech oven maintains smoking temperatures with minimal energy use and minimal woodchip consumption.
Only a pinch of chips is needed to smoke for about an hour, reducing waste. Internal components such as plastic handle and hinge slots are made from recycled plastics.
