Pop art in the kitchen: Andy Warhol inspires rangehood

July 19th, 2012

Stumbling across a Warhol-inspired Campbell’s Soup Can rangehood has changed the way I look at my kitchen.

What I once thought of as elegant, clean, streamlined and simple has become conventional, boring, plain and pitiful.

A rangehood iteration of the American artist’s iconic subject from the 1960s has been fashioned in a kitchen metalworks shop in the US southern state of Georgia. While it is a one-off piece, every other rangehood designed and custom-crafted by Bastille Metal Works is as unique and individual.

As it turns out, there’s a lot more to rangehoods than stainless steel. Here is a collection of eye-catching rangehoods that act as the principal focal point of the kitchen.

Keri Algar

Having once had to sit on the washing machine to stop it from bouncing into oblivion, Keri is today delighted with the new (smoother running) technologies that make housework easier every day. A self-confessed lazy-bones, Keri seeks out quirky inventions that ease the human workload, such as the robotic vacuum cleaner (wow). And as soon as someone figures out a Jetsons-like self-cleaning house, she will happily lay her pen to rest and retire from appliance journalism. Until then, her pick is a fridge that will tell her smartphone when it's time to pick up more beer on the way home. Magic.

But small company who actually cares about you and your system, will tell you about the issues that need to be corrected and probably tell you they can’t take the job unless you are going to fix the issue first because the second they put a sticker up they assume responsibility and their license is on the line.
