Vintage style fridges

Jan 17 2012

Above is a collection of vintage style refrigerators from Big Chill, Gorenje and Smeg.

We're currently on the hunt for a new fridge and would love one of these beauties to brighten up our kitchen. Unfortunately, Smeg appears to be the only brand available in Australia and both of their models are too small for our needs. *sigh*

    This is so timely as I was just in the kitchen looking at the big hulking black fridge we inherited with our house and thinking I would get online and look at vintage style ones more appropriate in size and style for our house!

    I just came back from a weekend in Edinburgh - the apartment where we stayed had a cream colored Smeg and it was really lovely. Although, as you mention it, a little on the small side. I think I'd choose one in a minty green :)

    Ive wanted a Smeg ever since I bought my own house, but after extensive research it turns out there not without faults. I was advised to stay well clear. :0(

    oh my, when i first read the title (before opening your post) i read "vintage fries"...i thought, now what could vintage fries taste like?? :) but going on to read this i realized my mistake. what gorgeous fridges these are! i know a number of people who would die to get one of these in their kitchen!

    Have you looked at Northstar appliances? Here's a link to their catalog. I dream of remodeling my kitchen with these!

    Jen- thanks for letting me know about Northstar- I missed those! I will have to check whether they're available in Oz.

    Emily- I had my eye on the minty green Smeg also! :)

    I've seen those Smeg ones and they are quite small. So disappointing, because I'd love a retro styled fridge too, but it would definitely have to be a bigger one!

    hihi ok first of all I was surprised when I saw the name "Gorenje" :) They are well known but its still good to see, that people worldwide know it!
    You know, we`re such a small country so it`s pretty hard to compete with the "big wales" out there. :)
    and their fridges are cool! p.s. love the orange one!

    I LOVE vintage refrigerators. I had an aqua blue one in my first apartment after college...I wish I could have taken it with me when I moved out.

    I'm lusting over one (have been for a LONG time). Why won't my fridge die?!!

    I too lusted after a SMEG fridge and as we have recently bought a house, i lept at the chance to buy one. My partner loves them too. However after reading some reviews on line, i would never buy one!! i didn't read one good review, which is such a shame because they look so lovely. seems like not a matter of if, but when something busts on them. :(
