Simply effective

Minimalist kitchen interiors provide an uncluttered backdrop upon which the cooking takes centre stage. But when meal preparation becomes the focal point, it's important the chef is equipped with the right tools.

Kitchen designer Anita Maes selected Smeg appliances for this kitchen because of their sleek appearance.

"These good-looking appliances work well in this contemporary kitchen. The simplicity of their design means they fit seamlessly into this pared-back interior."

Maes says that in addition to their visual appearance, she has found that Smeg appliances are reliable products that are easy to install.

The Smeg stainless steel freestanding cooker, featured in this kitchen, has a number of features to facilitate a range of gourmet requirements.

In addition to fan and conventional settings, the oven has a rotisserie function and wide grill element. The cooktop has automatic electronic ignition and is set up for natural gas. Its single-piece hob surface makes it easy to clean.

The Smeg rangehood is discretely built into the cabinetry above the oven. Its four-speed fan enables efficient odour extraction. Electronic controls and halogen lighting ensure that it's simple to operate.
