Surf from BEST Sorpresa Collection - A Symbol of Simplicity

February 08, 2012

Hartford, Wis., April 26, 2011 – Surf is one of nine exciting range hoods that are part of the new BEST® Sorpresa™ line of revolutionary range hood designs that challenge perceptions of what a range hood can look like. Sorpresa, which means “surprise” in Italian, illustrates the initial surprise that comes when viewers first realize that these works of art are in fact functioning range hoods.

As its name suggests, Surf (pictured left) is a simple, elegant design inspired by the ocean and its waves. The Surf range hood offers the same quiet simplicity that waves do as they crash on the shore. Designed to be an instant conversation starter, Surf will become a graceful yet dramatic focal point of any kitchen.

“Surf, as well as the eight other models in the Sorpresa collection, are excellent examples of leading edge Italian design that European designers appreciate. We are excited to introduce these artistic styles to the U.S. market,” says Brian Wellnitz, marketing manager, kitchen ventilation, BEST.

To envision how Surf will look in any kitchen, BEST offers a convenient Sorpresa Visualizer tool, available on BESTsorpresa.com, which enables designers and their clients to envision Surf and the other BEST Sorpressa range hoods, in a variety of kitchen motifs.

Available in Spring/early Summer 2011, Surf and the other eight range hoods in the Sorpresa collection are on display at the 2011 Architectural Digest Home Design Show in New York. These innovative styles reflect the sleek and contemporary global design reputation of the BEST brand. The U.S. building and kitchen design community, to whom the BEST brand has been marketed for nearly two decades, will surely be impressed with these Italian-inspired designs.
