To be honest, we're loving the fact that designers finally see the potential for kitchen range hoods—which we're forced to stare at while we make dinner—to do double-duty in the kitchen...

First we spot the range-hood-slash-LCD-screen, now this super-modern graphic clock kitchen accessory.

This design from Barriviera Cappe is titled Ora and is part of their "Design Line" of range hoods (It's worth a gander to check out the whole collection of "Design" and "Modern" hoods at their Web site).

What do you think? Do you like multi-tasking kitchen tech? Or do you want your range hood to stay simple and fade into the background?
