Porsche x Smeg: The 917-Inspired Kitchen Icons Redefining Design and Performance | stupidDOPE | Est. 2008
"In 1970, Porsche forever changed motorsport history. The Porsche 917 KH, draped in the now-legendary Salzburg red livery, claimed the brand's first overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans-a race that would cement Porsche's reputation for precision, endurance, and innovation. More than half a century later, that spirit has been reimagined in an entirely new arena: the kitchen."
"Each fridge features the historic number 23 and original stripe graphics that echo the livery of the 917 KH. The door, thermoformed from a single piece for seamless transitions, reflects Porsche's signature engineering finesse. Matte black accents on the handle and Smeg logo introduce modern restraint, while the handle itself draws direct inspiration from the Porsche 911 GT3 RS-connecting motorsport performance with everyday touchpoints."
Porsche's 917 KH secured the brand's first overall victory at the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans in Salzburg red, establishing a legacy of precision, endurance, and innovation. The Smeg x Porsche Kitchen Collection channels that motorsport heritage into home appliances, notably a limited-edition FAB28 refrigerator and a matching bean-to-cup coffee machine finished in Salzburg red and limited to 1,970 units each. Each refrigerator displays the historic number 23, original stripe graphics, a thermoformed single-piece door, and a handle inspired by the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Matte black accents, unique numbered plaques, and meticulous craftsmanship combine performance-driven aesthetics with everyday functionality.
