or the past 25 years, Zephyr has pushed the boundaries and
continuously evolved to deliver the highest ventilation
performance in the kitchen. While its products have changed
over the years, Zephyr's commitment to unexpected design and
ever-evolving innovation remains the same. World-class designer
partnerships and industry-changing technology have kept Zephyr a
leader in ventilation and wine and beverage cooling.
A NEW BRAND IS BORN
Founded in San Francisco, Zephyr deliberately set out to change
the marketplace with the launch of its Power Series Collection at
the 1997 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show. This catapulted Zephyr
into the range hood industry with modern design and powerful
performance for the kitchen. Zephyr continued to challenge the
traditional definition of a range hood when it introduced Italian style
to the U.S. with its Europa Collection. Sculpted glass and stainless
steel gave homeowners and designers new options and elevated
the range hood to its rightful place in the kitchen.
DESIGNER PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE DECADE
As one of the first appliance manufacturers to partner with world-
class creative talent, Zephyr has always been at the forefront of
design in the kitchen. In 2005, Zephyr introduced the industry's
first signature collection of range hoods: Cheng Collection by
Zephyr. The partnership with Fu-Tung Cheng introduced timeless
and artistic design to the masses. Zephyr continued its partnerships
with world-famous designers such as Sir David Lewis of Bang &
Olufsen fame and Robert Brunner, former head of industrial design
