Smeg is thrilled to announce it will be working with the inspirational Fearne Cotton as she
launches her new Cook book.

inspire new and existing customers to experiment in the kitchen with its premium product lineup, including its innovative and eye-catching retro-style large and small appliances.
Both Smeg and Fearne share a deep passion for food, family, fashion, design and the arts, and
this mutual affection has resulted in a close working relationship between the TV presenter and
the brand.
The partnership comes during a huge year for the 34-year-old mum-of-two as she prepares to
release her debut cookbook, as part of the collaboration she will be sharing some of her
favourite recipes with Smeg.

channel Pretty Upfront, along with writing a column in women’s lifestyle magazine GLAMOUR

About Smeg
SMEG, one of the largest Italian home appliance companies, was founded in 1948 by a family
of entrepreneurs who, with great passion and know-how, managed to develop a strong and
growing company. Today, Smeg is run by the third generation of Bertazzoni, but it still keeps
the memory of its beginnings alive in its name, an acronym for Smalterie Metallurgiche
Emiliane Guastalla ("Emilian metallurgical enamel works of Guastalla").
Over time, the brand has established itself as a symbol of high aesthetic and each product is
made with a unique attention to research and development. Each new appliance for SMEG is a
special artefact, which arises from a deep study of design, ergonomics and function.
Smeg's internal design studio, which carries out painstaking research into aesthetics and style,
has the support of internationally renowned designers such as Guido Canali, Mario Bellini, the
Piano Design studio, Marc Newson, Giancarlo Candeago, Matteo Bazzicalupo and Raffaella
Mangiarotti.
Today Smeg has a strong international presence with 18 direct commercial subsidiaries
(France, England, Belgium, Spain, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Portugal, Russia,
Ukraine, Kazakhstan, the USA, South Africa, Australia, Mozambique, Poland and Mexico), a
representative office in Saudi Arabia, and a large network of distribution partners all over the
world.
Smeg has received a number of important accolades over the years, including a Wallpaper*
Design Award, a Red Dot Design Award and an iF Design Award, as well as 2 x Designer
Kitchen & Bathroom awards and multiple Which? Best Buys. In 2015, Smeg won the
prestigious 'White Goods Supplier of the Year' prize at the ERT Awards. Further information on
