Sicily in the kitchen. Dolce &Gabbana collection for Smeg

The Sicily is My Love collection is another Dolce & Gabbana collection created for the kitchen. Earlier, in 2016, they created phenomenal Fab fridges and in 2017 they designed a limited series of small appliances. The pastel colours typical for the retro style were replaced by illustrations made for them by Italian artists.

Vibrant colours and motifs

Sicily expressed in sunny illustrations

The Smeg kitchen robots collection was inspired by the climate of Sicily, the island where Domenico Dolce was born. The designers developed the concept of the collection, but gave total freedom to the artists who painted multi-coloured illustrations in large formats. These were then transferred to the surface of the kitchen equipment. Among the motifs, we will find everything associated with this untamed land and its culinary traditions: juicy citruses, Puntanus flowers, the volcano of Etna, the picturesque ruins of the Temple of Kastor and Pollux, the symbol of trinacria and decorative friezes and motifs reminiscent of acanthus leaves.

The essence of the Sicilian lifestyle is enchanted within these colourful, rustic motifs, which we can also now introduce into our kitchens!

Fashionable household appliances from Dolce & Gabbana

Every woman sighs to the photographs from the sessions presenting fashion collections marked before Dolce & Gabbana. Sophisticated cuts, feminine forms and an unusual choice of colours place the clothes sewn by this Italian fashion house among the most original proposals during each fashion week. No different from the small appliances collection, which was first presented in April 2017, at the Salone del Mobile in Milan. 

Small appliances in great style!

The equipment which inaugurates this unusual series is a cup blender, electric kettle, citrus squeezer and a toaster - necessary equipment for preparing delicious breakfasts. Each device has a form typical for Smeg and is decorated with juicy motifs.

Golden lemons, bright oranges and ruby red cherries, as well as ornamental friezes typical for Southern Italy decorate each of these three beautiful objects of applied art. Sailboats and birds appear on the toasters. The acanthus leaves wrap around elegantly designed electric kettles. A citrus trio and a mountain vignette decorate the squeezers. On the blenders, you can see the landscapes of picturesque Italy. All four are stunning elements of a larger whole, establishing a direct dialogue with Italian traditions.

Italian cuisine and landscapes...

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana pay tribute to Italian landscapes, cuisine and art with their Sicily is My Love collection. Food, a symbol of Southern Italy, dishes dating back to the tradition of antiquity, are the roots, which they return with sentiment to. Traditional dishes have become the inspiration for the creation of the small appliances collection, which is the fruit of cooperation these two outstanding creators and Smeg's long experience in designing household appliances.

And this is just the beginning...

The presented equipment is part of a larger collection, which will be presented over time. All elements are produced in limited versions.
