The new products from SMEG, which were presented at the Salone in Milan, were fantastic. The company isn’t very well known in the States, but is famous in Europe for working with Italian designers and architects. Among them is Renzo Piano, who designed the products I’m sharing today.

The PV hob, below, is my absolute favorite. I saw a version of it at Valcucine that incorporated the glass counter with the cooktop so that the entire surface was glass (in this case green).

The PV line isn’t available in the US yet. But you’ve got something to look forward to. SMEG has plans to bring the line over in a couple of years. They’re also working on turkey-sized ovens for the US market.

I loved this hob as well. It’s so space-aged. The sink, below, is beautiful. It has an integrated colander and a cover. I guess that means you can hide your dirty dishes. :)

If you love a contemporary look, no one designs them better than the Italians.
