Tasteful addition

Sleek corners, smooth surfaces and a predominantly white palette are popular options for today's kitchen designs. Yet, just as a splash of colour can provide a whimsical note in a minimal interior, so too can the choice of cooking appliances establish a serious tone.

In the kitchen featured here, the luminous orange-gold coloured glass wall offers an interesting visual counterpoint to the crisp white surfaces and opaque glass cabinetry doors. It is offset by the Smeg stainless steel gas hob and two ovens that take centre stage in the room.

The Smeg fan-forced ovens featured here fit side by side to provide for a diverse range of gourmet options. Features include stay clean oven liners, removable grill splatter tray and safe-to-touch triple glazed glass door. The minute minder with alarm enables accurate cooking times.

The Smeg 90cm gas hob has five gas burners, including a fish burner and triple ring wok burner. The removable trivets are dishwasher safe for easy, effective cleaning. Set up for natural gas, LPG jets are also supplied for subtle temperature control.

For clean, efficient air extraction the powerful Smeg rangehood is discretely located within the row of upper cabinets. In addition to being almost invisible to those seated at the dining side of the island, its quiet operation ensures that cooking odours disappear without fuss.

Directly beneath the row of cabinets, the Smeg stainless steel microwave fits snugly into a recessed shelf on the side wall.

With a 34.54 litre capacity and 10 pre-programmed power levels, this versatile microwave complements the ensemble of Smeg cooking appliances.
