Elica at FTK 2026: solutions for a kitchen conceived as a unified space of functions, aesthetics and technology

Elica presents at Eurocucina/FTK 2026 a new version of the cooking system Lhov and Luna, the pendant lamp that furnishes and illuminates the cooking area. The company thus continues to develop solutions that interpret the kitchen as a unified space of functions, aesthetics and technology.

 

A new, more intuitive version of Lhov

The first and only All-In-One cooking system that integrates cooktop, oven and extraction, awarded the Compasso d’Oro for its design and technological vision, Lhov by Elica is renewed with an elegant matte white finish that enhances its linear design, integrating harmoniously with kitchen furnishings.The matte material effect indeed adapts with elegance and discretion to all the kitchens designed with natural materials, wood essences and warm colors.

The user experience becomes even more intuitive thanks to control via voice assistant, which allows managing the main functions simply by voice:from selecting cooking programs to monitoring the status of preparations, up to opening the door of the oven and adjusting theextraction.  

 

Luna: lighting returns to the forefront in the kitchen

Luna is a pendant lamp for cooktops, essential in design, natural in interaction, that transforms the environment into an ecosystem, where technology and style merge in perfect harmony. It combines ambient light and direct illumination over the cooking area, with Dim Light and Tune White functions to modulate intensity and tone according to the desired atmosphere. It self-adjusts by communicating with the cooktop, or can be controlled via gesture control, app or voice assistant.

“I designed Luna,” explains Fabrizio Crisà, Chief Design Officer Elica, “with the intention of bringing light back to the cooktop after it had been lost with the advent of the downdraft cooktops NikolaTesla and Lhov. With Luna lighting returns to being a protagonist in the kitchen, amplifying the experience with control and style. In aluminum with a double finish and a linear, minimalist design, Luna is a lamp that integrates perfectly with the Elica product line. The up-and-down system with dual lighting, adjustable in intensity and white tone, guarantees perfect light”.
