Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Always in the best possible taste

Smeg’s flagship Classic Collection is set to enjoy another 30 years of market-leading success with its latest release.


 

The design of the new Classic SmartSense Plus oven has been refined with elegantly proportioned lines and new Eclipse inky-black glass, which is opaque when the oven light is off, but gives the highest visibility when the oven light is on.

The new Classic displays match Smeg’s complementary Compact ovens and have been developed in response to extensive ergonomic and usability research for intuitive use. The left hand control for back, and right hand control for forward follows paradigms that the majority of people understand. The on-screen graphics are easy-to-read without reading glasses, and just as easy to understand. Smeg’s 50 SmartSense Plus cooking programs are user guides rather than recipes and take the guesswork out of literally thousands of dishes.

Innovative cooking technology

In the cavity, Smeg has again improved its inner-workings with the most significant innovations in terms of pure cooking. Using physics, Smeg developed its unique and energy-efficient system for active humidity control, without the need for expensive or complicated steam systems.

It’s summarised in the name – Thermoseal – the seal of taste.

Smeg’s Thermoseal action produces the perfect atmospheric balance required for optimum cooking conditions. No external forces change the conditions in the cavity and every culinary reaction occurs just as intended, so the flavour of food and consistency of cooking are second-to-none.

Introducing the Smeg Gourmet Cooking Stone

And for the artisanal baker, Smeg introduces the Gourmet Cooking Stone. It’s a custom-designed refractory stone slab which sits perfectly into the base of the Smeg cavity and instantly enables you to cook as if it were a traditional stone oven.

The dough will activate, rise and aerate perfectly with the contact heat of the stone and Smeg’s Thermoseal provides a glorious glossy crust.

Smeg’s devotion to technology with style is the reason the Classic Collection has endured – always in the best possible taste.
