Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design announced the winners of its 66th Good Design Awards. Smeg products vied with products from over 500 companies for the coveted prize and recognition of excellence in design and innovation. The prizewinners were traditionally chosen by an international jury of leading architects, designers and creative directors.

The design of the new Portofino hob is inspired by the colors of the famous Ligurian village of the same name and harmoniously combines the lightness and brightness of Mediterranean colors with the solidity of stainless steel, giving any kitchen its own unique charm and professional look.

For over 65 years Smeg has been working relentlessly to combine aesthetics and technology in its appliances, creating appliances that are as stylish as they are functional. Year after year the brand reinforces its position as a benchmark in combining design and technology. Smeg’s achievements in this area are also recognised each year at some of the world’s most prestigious awards, including the Good Design Awards for the sixth consecutive year.
Can you share more information about the specific GOOD DESIGN AWARDS that SMEG won in 2016? I’m curious to know what aspects of their products or designs were recognized and how it sets them apart in the industry.
