oh i actually didnt take notice of the distributor, but somehow i think those hood, hob and oven come from the same OEM manufacturer.
The vendor showed me some products of electrolux, elba and lebensstil are actually made of the same parts ..under the "skin".
anyway, i took lebenstil hob coz its the only design which comes with sturdy cast iron & undermount burner. i didnt like those thin wire types, even expensive brands like teka and bosch have those.

guess i went for form ....
