Mini retro fridge

THE retro-chic Smeg fridge, the Fab28, has been a kitchen style icon among design-conscious homeowners. Truth is, it's a tad bulky when a homeowner wants to put the refrigerator in the living room or bedroom

.

Hence, Smeg has come up with a mini version of the popular retro-style fridge — the new Smeg FAB10.

The new 60cm wide frame is a contemporary creation that retains the retro good looks of the original model.

It shares all the design features of larger models including soft, curved lines and the SMEG chrome lettering emblazoned on it.

Smeg FAB10 has all the features expected of a high-end manufacturer — auto-defrost, thermostat control and convenient lighting.

Just one metre tall, this new fridge is ideal for single people, small kitchens, offices, or simply for storing drinks in a compact space.

The 120-litre capacity interior is split between a 107-litre capacity fresh food compartment and a 13-litre capacity, ''four-star'' frozen food compartment with ice cube trays.

The illuminated interior houses two adjustable shelves, a fruit and vegetable drawer, an egg shelf and additional storage compartments.

With a decibel rating of 37dB(A), the FAB 10 is practically silent and is A-rated for energy efficiency. It is also highly economical to operate.

Both left- and right-hinged versions are available. The Fab10 comes in cream FAB10P, orange FAB10O, black FAB10NE and red FAB10R colour options.

Smeg appliances are available from leading department stores, kitchen studios and retailers of electrical appliances.
