Designed with SMEG’s attention to detail, these new appliances mark an elevated expansion of SMEG’s morning portfolio, combining the brand’s signature aesthetics and Italian craftsmanship.    

The Espresso & Cold Brew Coffee Machine offers barista-level performance, featuring single- and double-espresso functions and single- and double-dose cold brew. The perfect all-in-one solution for crafting both rich, hot morning espresso and refreshing, smooth cold brew, the Espresso & Cold Brew Coffee Machine joins SMEG’s 1950s Retro-Style line and is available in black, white, pastel green, cream and pastel blue. 

The Cold Brew Function allows users to enjoy single or double doses of perfectly extracted smooth cold brew in under three minutes, while the Classic Espresso Preparation pulls rich, traditional single or double hot espresso shots at the touch of a button.  

A 15-bar pump with a pressure manometer provides optimal pressure to extract espresso, while the built-in gauge monitors pressure. Advanced thermo-black heating ensures rapid heat-up times and precise water temperature.  

The portafilter delivers even coffee extraction, while the stainless-steel steam wand creates velvety foam for lattes and cappuccinos. A passive cup warmer gently heats mugs before brewing. The My SMEG Assistant provides access to digital manuals, maintenance tips and guided setups.  

The Multipurpose Coffee Grinder is built for daily use and designed as the perfect companion to any of SMEG’s coffee machines. From fine espresso beans to a coarse French press, the grinder allows users to achieve consistent results for any brewing method in a smaller, compact footprint. It features SMEG’s iconic style and is available in the same colorways as the new Espresso & Cold Brew Coffee Machine: black, white, pastel green, cream and pastel blue.

It features 15 grind settings, a control knob with programmable presents and a manual grinding mod. Removable stainless-steel conical burrs deliver a professional-grade grind while making routine cleaning and maintenance easy. An antistatic system minimizes messy residue and static cling, ensuring ground coffee lands where they should while keeping countertops pristine.  

To complete the elevated breakfast experience, SMEG is also expanding its color offerings for its countertop staples. A sophisticated matte black finish is now available for its 1950s style Two-Slice Toaster, Electric Kettle, Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine and Drip Coffee Machine. A crisp matte white colorway has also been added for the Electric Kettle and Two-Slice Toaster, allowing customers to curate a personalized, modern breakfast nook.

Rooted in the idea of Art Without Artifice, Faircroft introduces nine customizable faucet configurations designed to bring flexibility and cohesion to the kitchen. The collection debuts the brand’s first living finish, Unlacquered Brass, and features the first widespread kitchen faucet to incorporate SmartTouch Technology, allowing for intuitive, touch-activated use. 

“The Faircroft Collection reflects our belief that the kitchen can be as considered and expressive as any other space in the home,” said Barb Fuller, VP of Luxury. “It brings together form and function in a way that feels both purposeful and refined. Every detail, from thoughtful mechanical details to practical proportions and integrated accessories, is designed to elevate the everyday. Elements like the jewelry tray, towel bar and soap tray bring both beauty and ease to daily routines.” 

Through the introduction of Unlacquered Brass, this new offering brings a dynamic sense of materiality to the kitchen, allowing surfaces to evolve over time and reflect their environment. 

“With Unlacquered Brass, we wanted to introduce a finish that feels alive – one that evolves alongside the space and the people using it,” said Celine Kwok Garland, Lead Industrial Designer for Brizo. “As a living finish, it develops character over time, shaped by touch, environment and daily use. It adds a layer of depth and individuality to the kitchen, making each installation feel inherently personal.” 

At the center of the collection is the Wall Mount Bridge Faucet, a new design intended for streamlined everyday use and offered with a full range of integrated accessories. 

Faucets are available with arc or angled spouts, industrial lever or coin edge lever handles, and in five finishes including: Polished Chrome, Brilliance Polished Nickel, Brilliance Stainless, Brilliance Luxe 

Gold, and Unlacquered Brass. Select configurations feature SmartTouch Technology, enabling water flow with a simple tap to the faucet body, spout, or handle. 

The offering spans both primary and secondary spaces, including widespread, deck mount and wall mount bridge faucets with side sprayers, pull-down and prep faucets, as well as bar, beverage, instant hot faucets, and a wall mount pot filler. A range of accessories, including a soap dispenser, jewelry tray, soap tray, towel bar, and basket, adds functional ease to the kitchen. 

The Faircroft Kitchen Collection is available for order now.

A good example is Taj Mahal, the texture which reinterprets the timeless magnificence of marble. Designed to enhance and give a touch of class to both residential and commercial spaces, Taj Mahal draws the gaze over the sinuous light brown, beige and white veins which come together in a single, sophisticated, and balanced chromatic flow.  

Rare is the collection of surfaces that are never alike and DNA is the finish that modifies the actual structure of the slab, to faithfully reproduce the power and dynamic motion of nature. 

With native grace, DNA impresses a unique code on every surface, immortalizing it in all its full potential. The slabs with DNA finish feature a delicate yet decisive relief that follows the graphic design of original irregularities, translating them into a distinctive design element.

In this cutting-edge technological and stylistic context, Laminam is dedicating four shades exclusively to the U.S. market, all showcasing a decisive and characterful aesthetic that takes center stage in spaces where it is chosen. 

Breccia Medicea Book Match DNA is a narrative sculpted in stone, a tale of primordial strength and proud character. Its black-and-white texture creates a vibrant contrast, a dialog between light and shadow, which lends rhythm and depth to spaces. The natural geometries run over the surface like rivers carving through the rock, transforming the space into a beating heart.

Breccia Medicea Viola Book Match DNA is a mineral theater where time has left a solemn mark. The symmetrical veining creates a unique and spectacular effect, while the deep and nocturnal shades of violet alternate with flashes of light which highlights their beauty. The ceramic surface is animated with fluid and organic movement: the veins seem to breathe and transform into cascades and eddies.

Bronzite Book Match Bush Hammered, on the other hand, is a surface which exudes character and intensity. A dominant central vein plays assuredly across the slab, defining the rhythm and personality of the space. The warm and enveloping textured brown hue provides quiet energy and modernity, adapting to the age without sacrificing strength. 

Last but not least, Quarzite Book Match DNA stands out for its measured elegance and natural assuredness. The mineral pattern weaves together sophisticated nuances and patterns, creating a balance between light and depth. Each detail is calibrated to offer a solid, refined surface.

Developed through extensive consumer insights, the Designer Undercounter 15-in. Ice Maker directly addresses the most common frustrations with traditional home ice makers — complicated cleaning, disruptive noise levels, uneven ice distribution and poor ice scoop ergonomics. The result is a machine that produces the most preferred consumer ice shape, a 1.25-in. crystal-clear, flavorless cube, while simplifying ownership.

Because cleaning complexity has historically been a major pain point for ice makers, Sub-Zero reimagined the entire maintenance experience to be intuitive, guided and low effort, helping to ensure consistent performance and long-term reliability. The guided cleaning system helps ensure every cycle is completed correctly, reducing maintenance-related service calls and supporting years of crystal-clear ice.

The maker’s near-silent operation makes it ideal for open-concept kitchens, entertaining spaces and home bars. A patented ice distribution system eliminates uneven ice levels, maximizing usable ice storage without the need for manual intervention. Together, these innovations ensure consistent ice quality, reduced maintenance and effortless ownership.

The existing cabinets were a stock product and were at the end of their life. The countertops were marble; however, they showed wear, with stains and chips marring their appearance. The entire space lacked layered lighting, with a grid of recessed lights the only source of illumination.

The client wanted a timeless transitional-style kitchen, so Schubert opted for warm white cabinetry with accents of dark gray at the reconfigured island and bar area adding a bit of contrast. The countertops are quartzite, as the client wanted a natural stone; the designer specified surfacing with similar gray and white values. He selected a satin brushed brass finish for the hardware and lighting to keep that warmth running through the space. “We used Fireclay tile for the backsplash tile in a matte white finish to add a bit of pattern, but in keeping with that classic/timeless aesthetic,” Schubert said.

While the reworked kitchen retains the range and refrigerator, Schubert added a new dishwasher and drawer-style microwave to the appliance roster. He also jettisoned the original steel range hood. “It felt extremely heavy and out of place with the updated design we were implementing in this kitchen,” he said. “We opted for a plaster hood because we wanted a new material in the space, as well as a more updated aesthetic.”

Contractor Challenge

Once construction began, the contractor was not sticking to the agreed-upon schedule and delays began practically immediately. The design team had a discussion with the client, proposing they take over the project management to get the job back on track. They successfully made the transition, with only a few extra weeks of construction added to the initial plan.

M2 Design Lab now works only with contractors they have vetted. “Whether we bring them onto the project or if the client provides them, we perform extensive background checks regarding references from past clients and review any BBB issues,” said the designer.

Asked about his favorite feature in the kitchen, Schubert said, “I love the functionality of the narrow island. It is a great prep area when you are working in the space, but because of its size, it is also great for parties as a main serving area as you move from the kitchen into either the dining room or family room.”

The collection comes in six warm, natural tones inspired by linen, sand and earth, each available in two versions: Nature, a more homogeneous graphic selection enhanced by subtle details and reproduced on a slightly textured surface, and Melange, which features a more varied stone effect along with a micro-bush-hammered finish. Together these options create twelve combinations of tones and textures, each available in three modular sizes for maximum versatility. 

In the three colors ecru, beige and poudre, the collection also includes 120-by-280-cm slabs in the Pointé and Cannellé versions, inspired by handcrafted stone.
