The word Smeg (pronounced SMEG) conjures images of an Italian holiday, where you sip negronis on a terrazza that is adorned with fine cheese and stone fruit.

The company's roots go back to the 1940s, when Emilian Guastalla Metallurgical Enamelling Works began producing enamelled steel appliances for domestic use. The company's success increased during the 1960s thanks to the introduction of the "Elisabeth" gas cooker as well as the "Niagara" dishwasher which brought larger capacity wash capabilities. This time also saw the company begin producing ovens and hobs with built-in ovens. Franco Maria Ricci, one of Italy's most famous graphic designers and publishers, invented the iconic Smeg logo incorporating burners from gas hobs, as well as round knobs from ovens.
Smeg's success continued in the 1970s, with a wide range of electrical appliances that included microwave ovens, washing machines, and refrigerators. In 1984, architect Guido Canali conceived the Classic collection for Smeg, a vital line of compact volumes with simple lines, easily identifiable by its timeless design. It was displayed at MoMA.
Since the beginning, Smeg has forged ahead with cutting-edge technologies and innovative collaborations.
