The Uncut Gold and Rough Jade Series is an innovative kitchen appliance collection rooted in Eastern living aesthetics, seamlessly integrating the natural elegance of smooth pebbles and the understated grace of uncut jade into modern functional design.
Departing from traditional angular silhouettes and industrial stacking, its core design language adopts pebble-inspired round and full curves that unify visual harmony with sculptural beauty while softening the mechanical harshness of kitchen spaces. Like an exquisitely crafted natural jade, it is naturally integrated with the environment due to its round and smooth form.
The range hood is designed with an ingenious fluid dynamic air duct, groundbreaking 30m³/min cyclonic suction operating 12dB below national noise standards, achieving silent yet powerful performance. Its sustainable construction features 85% recycled aluminum-magnesium alloy frames and nano-ceramic coated cavities derived from marine plastic recycling technology, delivering a 110° oil-repellent contact angle. Paired with proprietary steam-cleaning technology, it achieves 98% self-cleaning efficiency. Modular magnetic components enable swift replacements, enhancing manufacturing efficiency while establishing new industry benchmarks for cultural-environmental sustainability.
The series reimagines cooking systems through Eastern ecological wisdom, embedding pebble-like inclusiveness and jade-like textures into every detail. Its "Jade Flame Precision System" revolutionizes both aesthetics and functionality - 5.2kW blue lotus flames achieve 82% thermal efficiency with 60% reduced carbon emissions, transforming stir-frying into artistic precision. User interactions balance accuracy with elegance through meticulously calibrated tactile controls.
Light transcends mere functionality to become an emotional conduit by building atmosphere. Meticulously engineered diffuse lighting emits a soft, uniform yet multi-dimensional luminosity. This lighting veil skillfully bridges functionality and aesthetics, providing glare-free task illumination during cooking while morphing into ambient artistry during idle moments, softening the kitchen’s utilitarian nature into a serene, poetic space.
More importantly, the design fosters multisensory connections through inclusive forms, warm textures, harmonious hues, and gentle luminescence. It evolves from a utilitarian tool to an empathetic companion that embodies humility, inclusiveness, and warmth, elevating daily cooking rituals into meaningful experiences.
