AirHood® was designed by the French designer Maxime Augay when he was in college. Like many great innovations, this came from a personal need because Maxime found his own extractor hood at home difficult to clean – and frankly, not up to his own aesthetic tastes. After having won the imm Cologne 2019’s “Pure Talent Contest – Living Kitchen Selection” with his design concept, he decided to bring the AirHood® to reality. He has partnered up with Smart Product Concepts (SPC), a veteran with over 20 years of experience in kitchen appliances manufacturing, to ensure the concept is brought to life successfully.

The AirHood® has a unique value proposition that makes it a perfect match for individuals all over the world. Its development and design history differ significantly from typical processes within Smart Product Concepts (SPC), which is primarily a company focused on manufacturing within the B2B space. As such, Maxime and SPC decided to launch the AirHood® through crowdfunding on Kickstarter and Indiegogo, so that we can rely on the foodies as well as tech- and design-lovers of the world to bring AirHood® to life.

Smart Product Concepts was established over twenty years ago. They have continued to design products that revolutionize the cooking experience for people around the world.
