Limited Edition Smeg Refrigerator

To fund her first so­­lo exhibition, South African film producer and photographer, Filipa Domingues has collaborated with Smeg to produce a collection of 4 limited-edition ‘CheckMyPlants’ retro refrigerators.

The unique pieces feature Domingues’s visually spectacular stills of iconic South African plants with Smeg’s black retro fridge as the canvas to perfectly emulate her signature style photography. The result is nothing short of spectacular.
