Winning formula - Sleek state-of-the-art kitchen appliances by Smeg

Demands on kitchen designs today can be high, with owners expecting them to provide a hub for the family, a centre for entertaining, and reflect the style of the rest of the home.

The owners wanted the space to be a focus for family activities and an entertainer's kitchen, with an innovative, performance-driven design.

Designer Kim Duffin used a custom-designed graphic on a glass splashback to showcase the colours of the home and bring the outside in. To ensure the kitchen, which won three KBDI awards, was both functional and met the owners' high aesthetic standards, appliances were selected from the Smeg Linear range.

"Smeg appliances are well suited to both contemporary and traditional kitchens. The designs in the range are easy to work with and enhance the appearance of the kitchen," he says.

To consistently set new benchmarks in aesthetics and function in all appliance collections, Smeg collaborates with leading designers such as Mark Newson and Renzo Piano.

In this kitchen, Duffin specified appliances from the Linear range, a design concept that fuses intuitive controls with top performance.

Smeg Linear appliances feature frameless Stopsol® supersilver glass and stainless steel fascias with illuminated controls. Multifunctional ovens can be a compact 45cm high, or a larger-capacity 60cm or 70cm wide. Smart Chef technology ensures professional results, and Thermoseal oven technology offers optimum heat distribution, energy efficiency and unequalled moisture retention in meat and fish.

Linear also offers steam ovens, compact microwaves that double as grills or convection ovens, warming drawers and coffee machines, which can be wall-mounted or installed underbench. Linear induction, gas or halogen cooktops feature the same low profiles and tactile materials as the in-wall appliances.
