BORA Kitchen Appliances — Ireland

BORA was founded in 2007 by Willi Bruckbauer, an Austrian kitchen designer and manufacturer who believed the kitchen deserved better than an overhead extractor hood. His solution was radical: move the extraction downward, directly into the cooktop. That single idea has since transformed the premium kitchen landscape across Europe, winning multiple Red Dot and iF Design Awards along the way.

BORA is known for one thing above all: eliminating the overhead hood. Their patented downdraft extraction technology draws cooking vapours downward at source — through the hob surface itself — before they can rise. The result is a kitchen with clear sightlines, clean ceiling lines, and dramatically improved air quality. No other manufacturer has matched the depth of BORA's commitment to this approach.

In Ireland, BORA has become one of the most requested brands in premium kitchen design. Irish homeowners are drawn to the clean aesthetic, the quiet operation, and the freedom it gives kitchen designers to create open islands and unobstructed living spaces. For kitchens where the cooking zone is the social centre of the home — which is increasingly the norm in modern Irish builds — BORA is the natural choice.
