Smeg teams up with Dolce&Gabbana to unveil the exclusive Blu Mediterraneo collection

"...It is another exceptional masterpiece of design that has created a stir among lifestyle enthusiasts without a word needing to be said. Two legendary brands from distinct industries, Smeg and Dolce&Gabbana, have chosen to extend their remarkable collaboration once more. After previously bringing their unique visions together in collections like Frigorifero d’arte, Sicily is my Love, and Divina Cucina, these two brands have now joined forces to create an exclusive new limited-edition line, aptly named Blu Mediterraneo. This collection integrates the enchanting allure of Mediterranean culture and the vibrant hues of the sea into Smeg’s iconic appliances, blending timeless design with captivating artistry..."

At first glance, the undeniable appeal of Blu Mediterraneo lies in its unique design. This vision was carefully crafted by designers Matteo Bazzicalupo and Raffaella Mangiarotti from deepdesign, who have intricately embedded Dolce&Gabbana’s iconic aesthetic into each detail. Inspired by the bright, invigorating colours of the Mediterranean Sea, every element of the design embodies the ‘Fatto a Mano’ (handmade) tradition. This artisanal process ensures that each piece within the collection is far more than just a kitchen appliance with modern functionality; it becomes a work of art that speaks to the rich, artistic legacy of southern Italy, blending timeless craftsmanship with contemporary lifestyle.

A hallmark of this collection is the traditional maiolica motif, which resonates with the deep cultural heritage of southern Italy and adds a layer of historical artistry to each appliance. Combined with Smeg’s modern, retro-inspired design, the result is the Blu Mediterraneo collection—a truly unique line that celebrates Italian artistry, pride, and attention to detail in every dimension. This ethos is embodied in each small appliance, from toasters, juicers, and kettles to a splendid coffee set that will enchant coffee connoisseurs with a fresh and immersive experience. Featuring an espresso coffee machine, coffee grinder, and milk frother, all of which bring a fresh perspective to the coffee ritual. These pieces boast bright colours, iconic curves, and a touch of retro charm that Smeg is so adored for, perfectly blending Dolce&Gabbana’s creativity with Smeg’s timeless appeal.

With all these elements in place, the Blu Mediterraneo collection transcends the realm of kitchenware, transforming into a true masterpiece of Italian design and craftsmanship. This collection epitomises the spirit of ‘Made in Italy,’ representing the legacy of Smeg and Dolce&Gabbana with pride and passion, a heritage to be cherished and passed down through the generations. It is a beautiful blend of artisanal expertise, cultural heritage, and modern-day elegance that will leave an indelible mark on the world of luxury home appliances.
