Seen at KBIS - kitschy kitcheny kolors from SMEG
SMEG is a hugely popular appliance manufacturer in Europe. I know I see it all over Denmark, when I go there and visit the kitchen showrooms, so that's MY sharp eyed reporter's factoid!
SMEG is introducing its line of appliances in the USA now, after having received all the various certifications. The line, aesthetically is very interesting, and I mean that in the most positive way. They're bold, they're sexy, they're highly functional and stylish. And, they do not only show retro appliances, like this beautifully simplistic retro refrigerator we see here. They have many modern appliances in their line too, custom designed by an architect, as you will hear in my podcast. Look to SMEG for BOTH modern and retro appliances. They will be introducing a refrigerator with a larger freezer section soon.
I know Scrappy Girl from Domino has a possible retro fridge fixation in her future kitchen plans. With Scrappy Girl in mind, I sought out a bit more information via my podcast. I'm glad I did...there's not too much information on the website!
Scrappy, I gotta tell you, though, I DID see another booth with colorful retro appliances, the only other booth I saw with them. I was looking from afar, taking a needed rest at the end of the second day, feet up, pointing weakly to that area, (all for the cause and dramatic effect) and then it left my mind and I inadvertently walked in another direction! Of course, I remembered much later what I missed. Maybe I'll find it in a press kit!

i love it!
i want a pink SMEG, I have to save some money!
Look at those retro fridges! I love it. It wouldn't go well in my current home, but wouldn't that be fun in a basement kitchen with a game room or something?
These totally RULE!!!
Aren't these great ! The colors are fabulous in every way ! Reminds me of the one on Rachel Rays, wonder if it's the same or vintage ?!
this is exactly what I've been looking for. Retro Style, mainly all fridge, because I cook with a lot of fresh produce & cheeses and have a great big stand up freezer for storing large meat purchases. the small freezer is perfect for ice, just right!
