This new Tomato home spray takes center stage in a late-summer design moment inspired by peak August harvests. On August 12, a cherry tomato red edition of the Super Smart Fridge launches, born from a collaboration between NYC-based Rocco and cult-favorite scent brand MALIN+GOETZ. It’s Rocco’s first sensory-driven release, merging crisp, design-focused function with the ripe romance of August tomatoes.
Timed to the height of tomato season, each fridge includes MALIN+GOETZ’s signature Tomato Home Spray, bottling that just-picked feeling for your living space. The bold hue feels both playful and architectural, reflecting the cultural appetite for “tomato girl summer” and vibrant, fruit-forward maximalism. Transforming a utilitarian object into an expressive centerpiece, the launch blends practicality with allure. New Yorkers can experience the fridge in person at the MALIN+GOETZ Williamsburg store.
