Casual Refrigeration with Smeg’s Fab Denim Fridge

-

It is undeniable that materials are high on the list of priorities when it comes to product design and with so many new and innovative materials hitting the market, manufacturers have no shortage of options. Whilst many seek out materials with new or improved properties, there are also those who prefer to look to the past for their material solutions. Italian appliance company Smeg has done just that for its latest incarnation of its popular retro FAB refrigerator.


In a quirky collaboration with fashion retailer Italia Independent, Smeg’s limited edition FAB28 denim refrigerator was launched at the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Combining and reinterpreting two classic design icons, the FAB28 Denim, available in a limited run of 500, is the epitome of casual style. With a needle and thread Smeg has managed to sew together the heart and soul of Italian style with almost surgical precision.
But is denim really the ideal material to cover a fridge? According to Smeg, in order to use the material in a domestic context, it had to be treated with Plasma, a nano-technology that protects the surface of the fridge from splashes of water, oil, milk and fruit juice.  So what do you reckon? Are you convinced?

Here's the front of the boxes (fake left - Gen right) two differences really. The genuine box has a much shinier gold color to it rather than the nearly mat golf finish on the fake. The print isn't so fine on the fake, on the M bellow the 1 it should have ribs down the middle but the fake some of them are missing.  Bottom of the boxes (fake left - Gen right) has a different layout and the stamped serial number is a bit clearer on the original one.  Tops of the boxes, the PR on the fake isn't quite straight   The backs (fake left - original right) once again different lay out but like I said I'm not sure if this is just an old reused box or a fake one!  Front of the actual bottles. As you can see there is a color difference, the fake has a rosey tinge to the gold where as the real one looks like a lig

Although hundreds of thousands of these posters were produced, only a handful ever saw the light of day.
