When Smeg’s design studio originally embarked on Portofino, the range was designed to combine the pinnacle of Italian opulence with the world’s most energy-efficient large-format freestanding oven. The location inspired not only the name, but the original unique colours of the collection, taking their hues from the olive, orange, yellow and red colours of the buildings lining the shores of Lingurian coast, joyously contrasting with the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean.
In technological terms, opulence describes the robust yet refined build quality, best-in-class materials and innovative construction of the original freestanding oven. Smeg’s pioneering Thermoseal 90cm 126L oven cavity was engineered with optimum isothermic properties allowing Portofino to be extremely energy efficient freestanding oven, even in a large format design.
