INDEPENDENT FAB

INDEPENDENT FAB: NOT JUST ANY FRIDGE, NOT THE USUAL JEANS. In 2012 Smeg and Italia Independent contaminated the icons of the past to produce a new style icon.

INDEPENDENT FAB

Smeg and Italia Independent contaminated icons of the past to produce a new style icon.

For over 60 years, Smeg have designed, and continue to design, appliances to adorn homes around the world, and together with Italia Independent, a brand of creativity and style, collaborated to contaminate two icons: the FAB28 fridge and denim. Is it art for art's sake? No, it is creativity for the home, style for every day.

Combine and reinterpret. Using objects from the past and traditional ideas and stitching them together with style and refinement. These are the actions that inspired the two Italian brands to produce not just objects, but items that had their own story to tell, their own way of being and communicating.

This is how the first fridge to be entirely covered in denim came into being. Not just any fridge, not the usual type of jeans.

The FAB28 with its colour range and its soft and rounded features is a leading player in everyday spaces, a functional yet decorative icon. Denim has always been a part of everyone's imagination and communicates freshness and comfort, rebellion and style.

The fabric, itself a mix of tradition and innovation, was treated with PLASMA, a nano-technology, which protected the surface of the fridge from splashes of water, oil, milk and fruit juices.

The FAB28 denim, was made in a limited number of just 500 pieces, and had its world premiere at the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Salone del Mobile is an event designed to celebrate Italian products of Made-in-Italy, inventive design, imagination, and originality with an element of surprise.
