Brendale Showroom

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.
