Holistic Kitchen Concept

like Cooking in the fresh air - its second nature to Bora

For BORA, the revolution of the kitchen as a living space begins at the heart of every kitchen: Effective cooktop extractor systems that are quiet, do not obstruct the view, provide highly-effective filtration of cooking odours and that are easy to clean, enable a new way of cooking and an impressive kitchen architecture.

The revolution

The end of the  extractor hood.

For decades, kitchen design has been held back by the necessity of bulky, noisy overhead ventilation that disrupts sightlines and clutters open-plan living.

BORA revolutionises the heart of your home by drawing cooking vapours downwards, straight from the pan, before they ever have a chance to rise. This is more than just highly effective, whisper-quiet odour extraction — it is the ultimate design freedom.

By eliminating the traditional hood, BORA offers unobstructed views, zero risk of bumped heads, and a seamless, architectural aesthetic for your dream kitchen.

The Founder

Born in the workshop of Willi Bruckbauer.

BORA was born from the workshop of Willi Bruckbauer, a master carpenter with over 20 years of experience in high-end kitchen design.

Tired of seeing beautiful, open-plan spaces compromised by noisy and unsightly extractor hoods, Willi set out to challenge the status quo of physics. In 2006, he developed his first prototype of a system that draws vapour downwards — the BORA Professional.

His philosophy remains the cornerstone of the brand today: to create a kitchen environment that is as functional as it is aesthetic, driven by the belief that the best design is the kind that lets you focus on what really matters — the joy of cooking and the company of others.

Applied physics, not magic

The science of seamless extraction.

Powered by Smart Physics

BORA uses advanced airflow technology to capture cooking vapours at the source. Its powerful downward airflow moves faster than rising steam, ensuring efficient extraction without compromising performance.

Captures Every Cooking Vapour

Grease particles, steam, and odours are extracted directly from the pan before they can spread, keeping the air clean and your kitchen fresh throughout every meal.

A Cleaner, Fresher Kitchen

With cooking fumes removed instantly, your clothes, furniture, and cabinetry remain free from lingering odours and greasy residue, creating a healthier and more enjoyable cooking environment.

The BORA X BO

The professional steam oven for your home.

Think of the BORA X BO as your personal sous-chef. This revolutionary appliance is a steamer and oven rolled into one, bringing professional-grade, restaurant-quality cooking right into your kitchen. Operated via a massive, intuitive 19-inch touchscreen, just like your smartphone, it makes achieving perfectly roasted meats, fluffy pastries, or beautifully steamed vegetables completely effortless.

But its true magic lies in its BORA DNA: the SmartOpen system automatically extracts steam before the door unlocks, meaning you will never get a blast of hot vapour to the face again. Add in an integrated odour filter and a fully automatic, self-cleaning cycle that washes and dries the interior for you, and the X BO proves that high-performance cooking can also be incredibly convenient.
