Smeg Australia announces an award-winning range of small kitchen appliances
featuring a retro design. Smeg’s new collection of small appliances is the
latest extension to the brand’s iconic FAB retro refrigerators.
Designed in collaboration with Italy’s Matteo Bazzicalupo and Raffaella
Mangiarotti of Deep Design Studio, the new collection of small electrical
appliances for the kitchen includes a toaster, a kettle, a blender and a signature
kitchen mixer.
Combining Italian design, award-winning style and enduring performance,
each appliance in Smeg’s retro range pays homage to the Golden Age of the 50s
while showcasing Smeg’s signature elegance and sophistication. Two design
awards, the Good Design Award from the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture
and Design and the prestigious international iF Design Award for 2015 highlight
the strikingly beautiful aesthetics of the stand mixer and toaster.
The new Smeg retro collection of small kitchen appliances comes in up to
seven colours including silver, black, red, panna and pastel blue across the
range, plus pastel green and pink for the kettles and two slice toasters.
Smeg’s small kitchen appliances combine a stylish retro design with the
very latest technology and high performance.
The kitchen mixer sets new benchmarks in power and versatility with
features including 800W high torque motor; 10-speed variable power; soft start
preventing splatters when starting at a high speed; planetary mixing action to
ensure all areas of the bowl are reached; and low-speed front attachment hub
for optional attachments such as pasta roller and cutters.
Smeg’s retro blender, which will be added to the range in the coming
months, features a capacity of 1.7 litres, an 800W motor and four speeds.
The feature-rich Smeg kettle comes with quiet-boil technology,
soft-opening lid, cord-free swivel base, auto shut-off when the body is lifted
from the base, and automatic switch off at boiling point. A new variable
temperature model will be added to the range later this year.
Toasters are available in two slice and four slice models with extra
wide slots, reheat, defrost, cancel and bagel settings plus self-centring
racks, six browning levels and removable stainless steel crumb tray.
All appliances in Smeg’s retro range feature an enamel-coated stainless
steel body. Smeg provides a 12-month replacement warranty on all kettles and
toasters, and a three-month replacement warranty and five-year full
manufacturer’s warranty on all kitchen mixers.
The complete range of Smeg small appliances is available at electrical
and appliance retailers nationally from May 2015.
