Octopus by Bora Cakilkaya is unlike any stove hood on the market right now. It does away with the traditional design that involves one wide cover with fans attached within for something a lot more animalistic and conceptual. This hood features four arms that move like the tentacles of an octopus, hence its name.
Clean and contemporary, Octopus by Bora Cakilkaya actively directs dirty air to specific areas in the kitchen that can handle it better. Made out of white stainless steel, it is equipped with four motors for each arm as well as a light source where they are supported. This stove hood not only functions better than typical ones, it adds a unique sculptural presence to kitchens that blends into the background once acknowledged.
