In the kitchen, where every detail reflects a way of living and thinking about space, integrated induction hobs mark an evolution in aesthetics and function.
Ghost, the new creation from Casalgrande Padana, embodies this evolution through a radical yet sophisticated language: porcelain stoneware—long the material of choice for high-end floors and wall coverings—becomes a technological surface and the hidden heart of the kitchen.
Ghost is not just a hob: it is a system that redefines the relationship between design and function, between material and technology. This is a subtle yet revolutionary statement that elevates the kitchen to a new dimension, where technology remains unseen but is felt.
Material becomes system: porcelain stoneware and cooking unite
Today, Casalgrande Padana expands the potential of porcelain stoneware—until now reserved for floors and walls—bringing it center stage in the kitchen. Ghost is a line of integrated induction hobs that uses 12 or 20 mm thick ceramic slabs, available in a selection of refined collections inspired by concrete (Metropolis), marble (Marmora, Marmoker, Onici), and stone (Pietra Tiburtina, Pietre di Paragone, Pietre di Sardegna).
The result? Continuous surfaces, without breaks or interruptions, capable of transforming from simple countertops into sophisticated, invisible cooking areas.
Silent top
Invisible top
In the kitchen, functionality meets absolute aesthetic purity. The porcelain stoneware retains its technical qualities—resistant, durable, non-absorbent, and fireproof—yet evolves to become architecture. That’s why Ghost is designed for a discerning public—those who see the kitchen as a space to be designed with the same care as a refined living room.
Silent: the hood disappears, the surface becomes lighter
Silent is the version of Ghost created for those who seek an integrated aesthetic without compromising on high performance. At first glance, it appears to be nothing more than an elegant, minimal porcelain stoneware surface. However, it conceals within it an induction system with four cooking zones and an integrated extractor hood with a filter.
Easy Lift is the real highlight: the central part can be effortlessly raised, allowing for easy, thorough cleaning without any disassembly. The bridge functions for large pots, the integrated touch commands, and the powerful motor (with intensive mode) round out an advanced system designed for everyday use with a professional feeling.
The surface remains seamless and free of any visible elements. It is the ideal solution for kitchen islands or peninsulas where the workspace coincides with the dining area.
Invisible: cooking is nothing but light and material
While Silent focuses on technical functionality, Invisible highlights aesthetic refinement. It is an induction hob that disappears beneath the porcelain stoneware top: the only evidence of its presence is a subtle perimeter light that outlines the four cooking zones. There are no visual breaks, no buttons in view, only pure material driven by silent, intuitive technology.
The integrated touch control allows one to adjust the power level (ten plus a booster), activate the timer, lock the functions for child safety, and check for residual heat. The visual effect is extraordinary: the surface remains completely clear and can be turned into a dining or tabletop, multiplying the ways it can be used in the kitchen.
A new horizon for kitchen design
Ghost from Casalgrande Padana is not a mere product, but a design strategy. The possibility of pairing the surface with coordinated tiles for floors, walls, tables, and islands gives shape to the concept of a coherent, immersive “continuous kitchen”. Each element contributes to a unified whole in which technology and material are seamlessly combined, without ostentation.
Designed for prestigious residences, high-end contract spaces, and bespoke interiors, Ghost sets a new standard for the contemporary kitchen—no longer a technical space, but a place for connection, beauty, and innovation.
