Virgola Comfort by Falmec: Acoustic Calm in the Contemporary Kitchen

In the Virgola Comfort collection, Falmec turns a simple under-cabinet hood into a tool for acoustic wellbeing. Quieter extraction, anti-condensation technology and warm, adaptable lighting redefine how we experience sound, air and atmosphere in the kitchen.

In most homes, the kitchen is where everything happens first: coffee, conversations, late-night emails, children’s homework, small celebrations. It is also where noise gathers—ventilation, clattering dishes, extraction hoods that fight with voices and music.

With Virgola Comfort, Italian brand Falmec asks a simple question: what if the hood could actually make the kitchen feel calmer? 

Acoustic comfort as a design brief

For this new evolution of its best-selling Virgola under-cabinet hood, Falmec focuses on acoustic comfort as a core element of domestic wellbeing. Inside the slim profile of Virgola Touch Comfort and Virgola No-Drop Comfort, a dedicated soundproof chamber lined with noise-absorbing material softens operation, turning extraction into a quieter, more discreet presence. 

In Virgola Touch Comfort, a front touch control panel is integrated into the opening flap. It allows users to manage all functions with a light gesture, without fully opening the wall cabinet and while protecting the cabinetry edge from fumes and vapours—small details that keep the kitchen visually clean and ergonomically fluid.

An Italian approach to air and light

Founded in 1981 near Venice, Falmec has built its reputation on a very specific kind of innovation: devices that are technically advanced but also sensitive to how we live, gather and breathe at home. With Virgola Comfort, acoustic comfort joins air quality and light control as a third, equally important dimension. 

In an era where kitchens host everything from remote work to quiet dinners, this family of hoods suggests a different idea of luxury: not louder statements, but a softer background—where the architecture of sound is designed as carefully as the cabinetry and stone.
