Dolce&Gabbana and Smeg join creative forces to create Sicily is my Love, a truly Made in Italy project where experts from the worlds of high fashion and design meet and merge to create unique domestic appliances that uncover an Italian story.

Following from last year’s success when SMEG and Dolce&Gabbana teamed up to realise 100 unique hand painted refrigerators, this year the collaboration focused on smaller products such as toasters, citrus juicers, coffee machines, kettles, blenders, stand mixers and slow juicers.

All these products are decorated with reflective interpretations of Sicilian folklore. Lemons, prickly pears, and bright red cherries are just a selection of Sicilian decorations that are framed in triangular motifs known as crocchi, that decorate these small appliances. Together with crocchi, the appliances are covered in delicate floral motifs and images of the enthralling Mount Etna, surrounded by ornamental friezes, and decorative acanthus leaves. All these themes and decorative symbols are intrinsically tied to Sicily and the important aspects of the aesthetic of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

Food, the typical products of Southern Italy and their recipes of traditional dishes are the pulling force to which heart and soul will always return, and notwithstanding the two companies’ affiliation to different creative sectors, they are bound by strong values of Made in Italy brand that results in passion, and profound creativity.

I didn't know people still bought D&G products and what is a SMEG? They couldn't team up with Kitchen Aid cos I've never heard of SMEG. Are they known for their workmanship or is it going to be like having a overpriced but pretty paperweight.

I would never have those loud, tacky things in my kitchen. I'll stick to my neutral coloured appliances.

I love the look of SMEG products in general. The modern and the retro.

I like the Fridges from this collection too.

I think a few of these in an all white kitchen would be gorgeous. I think kitchens should be bright and inviting.

I'm with it, if I could afford it, lol

The patterns/prints they used remind me of the circus.

No to all of this. I don't want my kitchen to look like an oversized Vera Bradley bag.

I could have sworn I saw similar stuff at a craft market in Mexico.

Pure fuckery. I am sure the prices are fuckery too. :laugh 512x512:

I like the idea of colorful bright kitchen appliances but I don't like the patterns on these.

Smeg is an Italian appliance brand, probably best known for their midcentury modern looking refrigerators. I've been thinking about buying a smeg toaster... but not this one. I think they could look kinda cute in the right kitchen (but just one item, not the whole collection) but absolutely not for me.

Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana has joined forces with Italian manufacturer Smeg to create this beautifully eye-catching line of home appliances inspired by traditional Sicilian patterns and motifs.

The range is called ‘Sicily Is My Love’ and it was recently presented during Milan design week 2017. Items in the series include a toaster, juicer, coffee machine, kettle, and a food mixer, and all of them are adorned with the vivid reds, yellows, greens and blues synonymous with the style of the region from which they take their inspiration.

The full line will be available from October, so say goodbye to your boring old appliances and bring a taste of Sicily to your kitchen.

It's colorful, but are they really that good compare to Le Creuset? I just need a good brand that can last for a very long time. I don't think D&G can do that. I believe in smeg but the price though.

These are so ugly :e5_25: Unless you have a solid or single color scheme kitchen where would these fit? I wonder how much they'll end up charging for these appliances. I would use them only if they literally gave them away

Ew. Sicilian patterns are too busy and tacky like India/Indian decor. Just too bright and all over the place for no damn reason.

cute. the patterns are busy, but it could work in small doses -- coffee maker and espresso machine. i hope the quality justifies the cost.

These are nice but they look too much like something Target would come up with in a temporary collab with a designer. I reeeeeeally think they should have thought about going that route because I can't see these being many people's taste AND price point.

I absolutely love color. Most homes are so washed out with beige and grays. These appliances are beautiful; but I have a feeling they are outside of my price range, due to the name brand.

I love SMEG and they have my dream fridge and dishwasher etc. If I would have one of these items it would have to be a small one. Not the fridge but maybe a blender. Can't have too many or too big with a pattern like that.

Love the design, but I'm guessing they are pretty expensive.
