EDITORIAL “Let’s make kitchens more attractive. . .” Willi Bruckbauer, developer and founder of BORA Lüftungstechnik, on an idea that turned the kitchen world upside down in just a few years. This was the basic idea. As a carpenter with a kitchen studio, I spent every day with customers who wanted us to make their dream kitchens a reality. Even a decade ago, I was often anxiously asked: “Do we really have to use such a huge, noisy extractor hood? Isn’t there a more attractive option?” My inability to offer buyers an optimum solution was something that I saw as both an annoyance and a challenge. I set to work developing a system that could draw vapours downwards. I was driven by pure curiosity, but also the ambition to make kitchens a more attractive and enjoyable place. Many months passed before I finally put pen to paper with a design for an extractor that could optimally extract vapours downwards. At the time, I never imagined that my idea would turn the kitchen world upside down to such an extent. Ten years have now passed since I established BORA. And I have believed in my idea right from day one. Our focus is on innovative and solution-oriented technologies that help to improve people’s quality of life. The perfect kitchens also have to work perfectly. They have to be easy to clean and quiet, i.e. with no annoying noises to distract people from cooking and enjoying life in the kitchen. As the kitchen is the heart of the home and the place where meals are lovingly prepared, the environment should be full of fresh air rather than lingering cooking odours. Nowadays, cooktop extractors are completely on-trend. It is said that we, at BORA, triggered this hype. And I sometimes rub my eyes in amazement at this. But our fan community, which now cooks with BORA in over 50 countries, proves us right. The huge success that our company has achieved is somewhat of a revolution – and one that has only been made possible thanks to our many motivated employees and kitchen retailers. We may well have fundamentally altered the design and function of kitchens, but we are not stopping here. We are continuing to develop innovations for our customers. In this edition of our magazine, we will present a new product to you: the BORA Basic All Black, the well-established system further refined with a black air inlet nozzle. The colour scheme is characterised by stylish understatement and purism at its finest. Turn to page 36 to find out more. The magazine naturally also covers everything you need to know about our Basic, Classic and Professional product ranges, including planning instructions, application and combination options, dimensions and technical details. We invite you to take a look at our company and our philosophy, our worlds of experience with recipes, the BORA Cooking Truck and our commitment to cycling, not to mention kitchen and architectural topics. Everything that motivates and inspires us to make the world of kitchens a little better every day. Enjoy browsing our magazine. Welcome to our world! Yours, Willi Bruckbauer BORA MAGAZINE 3
