The word Smeg, which is pronounced SMEG is a reminiscence of an Italian holiday. Imagine sipping negronis in an old terrazza, while eating fine cheeses and stone fruits. Although this dream vacation is not likely to become an actual reality, the upscale appliance brand can bring that Italian style to your kitchen at a price lower than an excursion to Sicily.

Its success grew in the 1960s with the introduction of the "Elisabeth" gas cooker and the "Niagara" dishwasher that introduced larger capacity wash capabilities. The same time, Smeg begin manufacturing ovens and hobs that were built-in. Franco Maria Ricci, one of Italy's most famous publishers and graphic designers who created the iconic Smeg logo, which incorporates burners from gas hobs, as well as round knobs from ovens.

Smeg's success continued in the 1970s with a comprehensive range of electrical appliances including microwave ovens, washing machines, and refrigerators. In 1984 the architect Guido Canali conceived the Classic collection for Smeg, a vital line of compact volumes with clean lines, recognizable by its timeless style and displayed at MoMA.

It also launched its 'Connect' system for control of appliances through a smartphone or tablet.
