Beverage-Branded Retro Refrigerators

SMEG Teams up with Coca-Cola to Launch Stylish Refrigerators

— November 20, 2021 — Marketing
SMEG, the renowned appliance brand, has partnered with Coca-Cola for its newest line of beverage-branded retro refrigerators in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Coca-Cola's famous Hilltop commercial. The two refrigerators, known as the 'Iconic' and the 'Unity' refrigerators, are limited-edition homages to 50s and 70s styles, respectively.

The Iconic Refrigerator features a simple design inspired by Coca-Cola's famous red and white, as well as the SMEG's classic 1950s retro fridge design. The fridge has the phrase 'Have a Coke' by the handle, which is eloquently placed horizontally on the upper third of the fridge. The top section of the fridge is white with 'Drink Coca-Cola' in red, and 'SMEG' in chromatic silver.

The Unity Refrigerator features a much more maximalist, eccentric design incorporating the fun of the 70s with psychedelic patterns and retro coke bottles in a multitude of colors. The fridge design has homages to the 70s such as peace signs and an overarching theme of love.

The Iconic Refrigerator retails for $2,999 and the Unity Refrigerator retails for $3,999.
