La Cornue hood names Marquee Loge Cascade and Euclid describe distinct visual styles within the CornuFé Hood Collection and the separate Château hood lineup, and the names refer to silhouette and design language rather than to different levels of performance. Marquee, Loge, Cascade, and Euclid are the four CornuFé hood styles; Château hoods are sized by range width (35, 47, 59, and 71 inches) rather than by a style name. Knowing which name refers to which look is useful when discussing a repair, a replacement filter, or a parts order, since the visual name is often how the hood is identified rather than a model number alone. These names show up on order paperwork, in service notes, and in casual conversation with a designer or technician far more often than a raw model number does, which is exactly why the naming is worth understanding on its own.
Why does La Cornue name its CornuFé hoods instead of just sizing them?
The CornuFé line is the factory-built, pro-style family of La Cornue ranges, and its hoods are treated as a design choice on the same level as the range’s enamel color or trim finish — each named style is meant to complement a particular kitchen aesthetic rather than simply cover a particular range width. This is different from the Château hood lineup, which is sized directly by the range width it is paired with, since Château ranges are the made-to-order flagship family where the hood is more often chosen to match a specific installation than as a standalone style decision.
How do the four CornuFé hood styles actually differ in the kitchen?
Marquee is the boldest of the four, with a silhouette drawing on theatre marquee design — a strong visual statement that works best as a focal point in a kitchen built around that kind of drama. Loge takes the opposite approach: a refined, mantel-style profile that reads as classic and understated, suited to a kitchen where the range itself, rather than the hood above it, is meant to be the visual centerpiece. Cascade’s sweeping curved canopy sits between the two, offering visual interest without Marquee’s boldness. Euclid is the most architectural choice, built around clean geometric lines that suit a more modern or minimalist kitchen design than the other three styles.
None of the four differ meaningfully in ventilation performance for a given size — the choice is genuinely about which silhouette fits the room, not about which one extracts smoke and grease more effectively. Airflow capacity is driven mainly by the hood’s width and blower speed, matched to the rangetop below it, rather than by which of the four silhouettes was chosen.
How do Château hoods differ from the CornuFé naming approach?
Château hoods are identified by their width in inches — 35, 47, 59, and 71 — matching the flagship Château range sizes they are paired with, and they are generally specified as 4-speed units with baffle filters rather than marketed under a distinct silhouette name. This reflects the Château family’s made-to-order nature: because each Château range and hood combination is often specified together for a particular kitchen, sizing by width is the more practical identifier than a style name would be.
That said, a Château hood is not entirely without design character — the canopy shape and finish still coordinate with the range’s enamel color and trim, similar to the choices covered in our enamel and trim guide. The naming difference between the two lineups is really about which detail buyers and technicians reference first: CornuFé buyers and service records lead with the style name, while Château buyers and service records lead with the width.
Do the hood names ever change if La Cornue updates a collection?
Product line names can be refreshed over time as a manufacturer updates a collection, and a hood ordered several years ago under one style name may sit alongside newer literature that describes a similar-looking canopy slightly differently. This is normal for any long-running luxury appliance line and is not a sign that your specific hood has been discontinued or is somehow unsupported. If your paperwork or memory of the original order does not match current marketing names exactly, the physical hood itself and its underlying mechanical components are still the more reliable identifier — a technician working from a photo or a model tag can usually confirm the match even if the marketing name has shifted slightly since your original order.
Why does knowing the hood name matter for repair or parts?
When you contact a technician about a hood issue — a blower that will not start, a halogen light that needs replacing, weak suction — knowing whether the hood is a Marquee, Loge, Cascade, or Euclid, or which Château width you have, helps identify the correct baffle filter, blower motor, or lighting component faster than a general description alone. Hood names are also useful shorthand when searching for troubleshooting information, since the style name and the underlying mechanical components are often referenced together in service documentation.
This also matters if you are ordering a replacement part yourself rather than going through a technician. A baffle filter or a blower motor listed for a “Marquee” hood is not automatically interchangeable with the equivalent part for a Loge or Cascade hood, even though all three might look similar in a parts catalog photo — the mounting dimensions and airflow design can differ enough between styles that the wrong part simply will not fit correctly. Confirming the style name before ordering saves a return shipment and the delay of waiting on a second part.
What if you are not sure which style your hood is?
- Check your original order documentation or invoice, which typically lists the hood style or width by name.
- Compare the silhouette against the four CornuFé styles described above, or against your Château range’s width if it is a Château hood.
- Ask your installer or dealer if the documentation is unavailable — they can often confirm from the original order.
- Note the hood name before contacting service for a filter, light, or blower issue, since it speeds up parts identification.
