Ghost

Elegant and functional: integrated induction hobs from Casalgrande Padana 

Casalgrande Padana presents Ghost, a new range of integrated induction hobs made entirely from porcelain stoneware tiles.

By Sara Costi

Flexible, versatile, durable and with superb technical characteristics, porcelain stoneware has moved beyond its traditional role as a floor and wall covering material and is increasingly used as a home décor surface. An impressive combination of style and function has brought Casalgrande Padana porcelain stoneware into the kitchen as a covering material for modern induction hobs. This smart solution combines technical performance with style, for a kitchen concept able to adapt to all kinds of needs in spaces of all sizes. 

Casalgrande Padana induction hobs can be paired perfectly with the ceramic surfaces in the company catalogue in 12 mm and 20 mm thicknesses, offering an innovative, designer solution that integrates induction cooktop technology directly into the kitchen worktop, creating a smooth, even, seamless surface that not only brings an elegant, modern look to the kitchen, but also offers more space to work with and a more practical option even when it’s not being used for cooking. Subtle, shimmering light effects, delicate transparencies, attractive veining patterns and sophisticated details shape seamless interior design projects with the accent on elegance, creating refined, modern, understated total looks that also embrace elements such as floors, walls and worktops, as well as islands and tables. 

Simple and stylish, suitable for all kinds of décor looks and design requirements, from resort kitchens and restaurants to private residences, the integrated induction hobs by Casalgrande Padana – available in two versions: Silent, with a built-in filtering extractor system, and Invisible, integrated below a stoneware top with surround lighting – are made entirely from porcelain stoneware tiles with a thickness of 12 mm or 20 mm, and can be made in a wide range of shades from the collections inspired by concrete (Metropolis and Terrae), colour (Atelier), marble (Marmora, Marmoker and Onici), metal (Fusion) or stone (Lithos, Pietra Tiburtina, Pietre di Paragone, Pietre di Sardegna and Supreme). At the customer’s request, and subject to examination of the complete design project, bespoke décor elements can be made to measure. 

Silent: the induction hob with a built-in filtering extractor system

An innovative induction cooktop with a high-tech extractor system built in below the stoneware kitchen worktop, for a perfectly smooth, elegant look. Four cooking zones with a bridge function for longer pots on both sides, an extractor motor with different speeds and an intensive option for extraction on both sides of the hob, an elegant touch control and an Easy Lift mechanism for the central part so that the extractor can be cleaned quickly and easily without dismantling or removing any parts. 

Invisible: the induction hob with surround lighting
