Smeg and Dolce & Gabbana Blu Mediterraneo kitchen collection is our new Italian inspiration

Dolce & Gabbana and premium kitchen appliance manufacturer Smeg, have unveiled their latest collaboration, the all-new ‘Blu Mediterraneo’ collection. 

Comprising a selection of small and large appliances, the set celebrates the brand’s shared Italian heritage.  

The stylised kitchen range comprises toaster, kettle, espresso machine, grinder, milk frother  and citrus juicer, plus two new fridges, and a matching range cooker and extractor.

The evocative pattern is rooted in Southern Italy’s heritage, providing a tribute to the area’s  ‘Fatto a Mano’ (‘handmade’) heritage.

Smeg and Dolce & Gabbana’s Blu Mediterraneo collection is available to pre-order now from Smeg’s flagship London store and will land in selected stockists, including Harrods, John Lewis and Harvey Norman in Ireland, from October.
