8 CHOOSING EXCELLENCE With over 65 years of expertise and a devout passion for excellence in design, Smeg remains synonymous with unrivalled luxury and performance expressed in exclusive and outstanding creations as encapsulated in its trademark, Technology with Style. Style, for Smeg, is a distinct concept: the way a product communicates with its surroundings and enables users to interact with it. Smeg believe that products should not only fill an environment; they should create an atmosphere. In fact, it s safe to say that with this unwavering vision Smeg has forever changed the way of thinking when it comes to appliances giving bland, mass-produced items the elbow in favour of real icons of style. The brands identity is an expression of its actual Italian origins and rich history that dates back to the 17th Century. The name Smeg, an Italian acronym for Smalterie Metallurgiche Emiliane Guastalla, translated - Guastalla Emilia Enamel Works which signals its humble beginnings as a metal enamelling factory founded by the Bertazzoni family in Guastalla, a town near Reggio Emilia in northern Italy. Today, Smeg is still a family-owned company with production exclusively in Italy. What makes Smeg truly unique is their revolutionary view of domestic appliances as working pieces of art. This marriage of form and function became evident in the mid 1970 s when Smeg became one of the first, if not the first company to intensely incorporate some of the worlds most renowned and coveted architects into the product process. Design visionaries and world famous architects such as Guido Canali, Renzo Piano and Mario Bellini have since contributed succinctly to the Smeg way creating luxury distinctive appliances that express unique style by perfectly combining design, superior performance and attention to detail. Together with Smeg s internal design studios and certified laboratories, these icons have patiently researched and refined each and every product. It is with this shared knowledge of, and a deep passion for, architecture, art, and ergonomics as well as a rich history steeped in innovation state-of-the-art technology that Smeg are able to craft masterpieces that transcend fashion and are as beautiful as they are functional. Smeg appliances strike that perfect balance between technology, style and investment quality and have truly taken centre stage in contemporary spaces where customised design is a must in showcasing everyday style.
