One of the brand's latest products is the Smeg 2-Slice Toaster, which was created in collaboration with some of the world's top architects. While the toaster comes in a variety of shades, the British flag-inspired print is the most striking. This version features a massive Union Jack design that will make you start craving crumpets. Of course, you can use the toaster for just about any bread thanks to the two extra-wide slots and six precise browning levels. There's even a dedicated button for bagels if that's your carb of choice.
