IMPORTANT ROLE OF ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN

Style, for Smeg, is a distinct concept: it is the way a product communicates with its surroundings and how we as users interact with it.

Attention to design and even the finest of details has always been the hallmark of Smeg; it helps bring our products to life our products alongside the homes they are installed into.

At Smeg, true to our Italian upbringing, we believe the kitchen is very much the heart of the home; a place where family & friends congregate and enjoy good food. Taking centre stage, Smeg appliances play an integral role, often stand-out focal points in the kitchen.

What makes us different is the longstanding partnerships we develop with internationally renowned architects and designers, developing new aesthetics not imagined before.

Smeg's is an expression of its Italian origins and the company's passion for products which reflect defining characteristics of Italian design: originality and product quality.

Smeg Headquarters

Smeg’s award winning headquarters, located in San Girolamo, close to Guastalla in the region of Reggio Emilia, was designed by Guido Canali. Canali took inspiration from the traditional architecture of farms located along the Po Valley river plains surrounding the area. Characterised by single low lying horizontal planes, this form of architecture comprises a central island where people work between embankments, a unique layout which maintains utmost respect for natural, rural surroundings.
