Hitachi offers award-winning cassette panel

UK: Hitachi’s multi-award-winning 4-way cassette unit design panel, the Silent Iconic, is now available in the UK.

Available in white and black, the Silent-Iconic is a new option for use with the RCI 4-way  cassette. A white version with an elevation grille is also available.

“The launch of this unique and innovative solution bridges the gap between the existing duct type and the conventional 4-way cassette, breaking the commercial rules where air conditioning units are selected either for their performance, functionality and price or their visual appearance in the space,” said Gordon Sutton, Hitachi Cooling & Heating’s MD, UK & Ireland. 

The Silent Iconic, has already picked up three international product design awards – the iF Design Award 2020 in the Product category, the Good Design Award 2020 and the Red Dot Best of the Best Product Design 2021.
