A new design destination has arrived in Brendale, Queensland – and Schweigen Silent extraction is part of the experience.
The new Austaron Surfaces showroom at 17 Maxwell Street, Brendale, has been created as an inspiring, hands-on space for architects, designers, cabinetmakers, builders and homeowners. It brings together a curated range of premium surfaces for retail, healthcare, education, hospitality, workplace and residential projects.
At the heart of the hero kitchen sits a striking ceiling installation: four Schweigen Silent Paradigma Cassette Rangehoods (CC-PARA4S) in stainless steel. Suspended above the island, they combine elegant ceiling lighting with powerful, Silent Isodrive® extraction – all within a clean, modular grid that keeps the focus on the design below.
Why Paradigma was chosen
The Austaron Surfaces team needed a solution that would:
- Keep clear sightlines across the showroom
- Support live cooking demonstrations
- Maintain a comfortable, quiet environment for conversation
- Complement the refined aesthetic of their surfaces
The Schweigen Silent Paradigma delivers on all fronts.
Light + extraction in one
Each Paradigma module integrates task lighting and extraction in a minimalist cassette. In a four-unit layout, the result is a cohesive ceiling feature that provides bright, even illumination without visual clutter.
Silent, external motor
Powered by Schweigen’s German-engineered Isodrive® motor system, mounted outside the building, motor noise is significantly reduced at the cooktop. This makes it ideal for open-plan spaces, showrooms and homes where people want to cook, talk and entertain in comfort.
Efficient perimeter aspiration
Instead of relying on a single central intake, the Paradigma uses perimeter aspiration to quickly capture steam, smoke and odours along the edges of each cassette – helping to keep the space fresher during cooking demonstrations and events.
Modular and flexible
With modular configurations, designers can specify two, three or four units to suit a variety of kitchen sizes and layouts – from compact apartments to large island benches in premium homes or commercial spaces.
Award-winning performance and everyday ease
The Paradigma has been recognised with a Good Design Award for its balance of aesthetics, functionality and innovation.
Key benefits include:
- Powerful Silent extraction (motor dependent)
- 4 speed levels with remote control
- LED lighting for bright, efficient illumination
- 15-minute auto shut-off timer
- Easy-clean, dishwasher-safe filters
- Long-term warranty coverage for added peace of mind
A complete inspiration space
In the Brendale showroom, the Schweigen Silent Paradigma works seamlessly with Austaron’s portfolio – including Staron® Solid Surfaces, Mario Romano Walls, Acrylic Couture, Organoid and Kaynemaile®. Together, they show how surfaces, lighting and Silent extraction can be integrated to create kitchens and commercial spaces that look beautiful, perform brilliantly and feel calm to be in.
