We’re Calling It: Retro Smeg Appliances Will Be a Top Holiday Gift in 2022

When you think of appliances, candy-colored throwback silhouettes are probably not the first thought that comes to mind. But Smeg is here to change all of that.

If you’re not familiar, the Smeg brand makes some of the most attractive appliances on the market. Their retro 1950s-inspired products look like they came straight of out a movie scene from Grease or Back to the Future. But you won’t need a time machine to enjoy the beauty of these products since they’re all available for purchase through retailers like Wayfair, Crate & Barrel, and Williams Sonoma.

The appliances have found a second life in 2022 thanks to their popularity among influencers on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. In recent years, retro-style kitchen appliances with seafoam green exteriors have become very popular, and so it’s the perfect time for Smeg to mount a comeback. The brand’s refrigerators, toasters and mixers have a nostalgic charm that’s undeniable, and with the holiday shopping season right around the corner, we expect retro Smeg appliances to be one of the top trending Christmas gifts of 2022.

Founded in 1948 by Vittorio Bertazzoni, Smeg was initially introduced as a metalworking and enameling company that later introduced one of the first gas cookers equipped with automatic ignition. Years later, in 1997, the brand would begin making retro-style refrigerators, which have now become popular with younger audiences who love their nostalgic design.

Although refrigerators may be their most notable product, the iconic production of Smeg’s appliances doesn’t stop there. Drawing from the curved and compact lines of the ’50, Smeg appliances have the ability to add a touch of character to any home.

From ovens and dishwashers to mixers and kettles, Smeg sells it all. With their products, you can easily redesign your whole kitchen or just add a few retro pieces here and there. While there have been some complaints about the brand’s iconic refrigerators, which lack some of the modern features consumers have come to expect, we haven’t heard similar complaints about the brand’s smaller countertop appliances, and it’s this line that we anticipate being very popular among holiday shoppers.

If you’re considering adding Smeg appliances to your own holiday wish list or kitchen mood board, you can check out some of our favorite Smeg products below. From tea kettles to coffee makers, the best Smeg appliances of 2022 can be found below.
