What do you get when you cross a renegade industrial designer with a conventional cooking appliance? The brilliant Marc Newson range for Smeg.
Australian Marc Newson brings his signature curved lines, energetic colors, and user-friendly focus to a collection of ovens, cooktops, and range hoods for Smeg. Not yet available in the US (our Smeg source says there are no plans to introduce the line stateside; perhaps it's time to start a campaign), the Newson range can be found throughout Europe and Australia.
N.B. Also see the Piano Range of Smeg appliances designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano.
