What to do with the protruding pipe if the furniture has already been brought?

1. Furniture peak. This is a kind of shelf ledge over the wall cabinets of the kitchen set. Its profile can be curly or concisely cut, depending on the style of furniture. The visor can protrude slightly beyond the upper cabinet or by 15-20 centimeters with the possibility of incorporating additional illumination into it.

Inside this design, only a part of the duct will appear, which, if desired, can be closed with additionally purchased furniture shields. But functionally, the cabinet will not suffer from these events.
