Confirming its leadership in design and innovation in the cooking sector, Elica has earned further prestigious accolades at the ADI Compasso d’Oro International Award 2025, an event organized by ADI – Associazione per il Disegno Industriale – in collaboration with the Commissioner General for Italy at Expo 2025 Osaka.

Lhov, the first All-in-One cooking solution on the market-combining oven, cooktop, and integrated extraction system—received an Honorable Mention, following its victory at the ADI Compasso d’Oro in 2024.

The Compasso d’Oro was awarded to Ariachef Pro, an innovative mobile system that integrates cooking and extraction in a monolithic, essential design, distributed in Japan by Ariafina. Through this brand, the Elica Group, in partnership with Fuji Industrial Co. Ltd, has been active in the Japanese high-end market for over 20 years.

Functional design, beauty, technological innovation

The award ceremony, held on September 5 at the Italy Pavilion during Expo 2025 Osaka, celebrated projects capable of interpreting the theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives.” Functional design, beauty, and technological innovation are the values that Elica has always pursued through innovative products designed to take the cooking experience to the next level.

“The real awards,” stated Francesco Casoli, Chairman of Elica, “are given by the markets. That is why this recognition is not only a great honor for us but also an important sign of approval from our customers-a tangible confirmation that our work has been able to identify real needs and respond effectively in one of the most advanced and selective competitive contexts in the world. We are deeply grateful to this extraordinary country and its culture of excellence, which constantly inspires us to do better, generating relevance, quality, and innovation.”

Paving new paths

Fabrizio Crisà, Chief Design Officer at Elica, explained how the Ariachef Pro system was created to bring to life a professional-grade product, delivering the power, reliability, and performance of high-end kitchens while at the same time making it more accessible and moving beyond professional kitchen environments. Thanks to an intelligent mobility system, Ariachef Pro can be easily transported, turning it into an experience that extends beyond professional kitchens. The All-in-One cooking solution Lhov instead represents a radically new vision—an idea of product that opens up fresh perspectives on how design can transform the relationship between technology and everyday life.

“Receiving these two new awards not only acknowledges the quality of our projects: for me, it confirms that design, when it dares, can pave new paths. It proves that radical innovation is the right direction-a journey that requires vision, courage, and above all, the willingness to challenge the rules in order to write new ones.”
