The Victoria Kitchen
A NOD TO THE PAST
In 1956, Smeg launched the “Elizabeth”, the first ever gas freestanding cooker with programmable start time, oven safety valve and timer. At the time it was the most advanced cooking technology available.
Nearly sixty years later, in 2012, the “Victoria” was launched in response to market demand for nostalgic design and as a tribute to Smeg’s longstanding lineage in cooking technology and prestigious style.
MODERN VINTAGE
Whilst the Victoria unashamedly looks to the past for its design style, it is finished with such precise detailing that it would be equally suited to an industrial-style warehouse kitchen or ultra-modern bachelor pad, which is why the Victoria is described as being of a “modern vintage”.
MODERN TECHNOLOGY
Whilst the Victoria’s aesthetics might look to the past, its technology is very forward-looking.
The ovens feature Smeg Thermoseal technology for a perfectly controlled cooking cavity. The 110cm version also comes with 16.5mj/hr dual controlled triple wok burner and teppanyaki plate as a standard inclusion.
