Cru Performance as Art

Next-generation appliances are both high-performing and visually striking, seamlessly blending advanced technology with refined design to elevate functionality into pure aesthetics

Against the current
The appliance is present and visible. Counter to current trends that often conceal appliances, Smeg‘s Isola range celebrates the technological elements in the kitchen, transforming them into refined protagonists that harmonize with their surroundings, thanks to soft, rounded forms. The collection includes induction hobs with integrated hoods, designed to pair with a sophisticated light rail, and hobs to be combined with suspended hoods. Created in collaboration with Stefano Boeri Interiors, Isola received the Design Intelligence Award 2025.

The joy of the kitchen
Well-being at home stems from the simple management of daily rituals, the functionality of integrated systems that support living, and a clean, tranquil environment. Franke has made this vision its design manifesto, leading to the 2026 novelty: the Box DrainMax sinks. Designed to simplify maintenance, they combine a linear, refined style with intelligent features. These include a 7″ drain kit, ensuring smoother water flow, a removable stainless steel waste basket, and Sound Soft technology with anti-noise patches, reducing noise by up to 10 decibels.

Positive energy
Glem Gas champions energy efficiency with its e·line, a fully electric range. The induction technology allows for direct food heating, bypassing the two-step process of heating the pan then its contents. This significantly reduces preparation times and, consequently, energy consumption. The system also ensures greater temperature control, enhancing cooking quality. Performance is further boosted by features like Booster functions and integrated timers, optimizing efficiency and time management. This vision is paired with an elegant and essential aesthetic, bringing beauty and practicality to daily life. The technology also ensures the surface around the cooking zones remains cool to the touch, minimizing burn risks, while the perfectly smooth hob allows for quick and easy cleaning with a damp cloth.
