Who doesn’t love to spot the incongruous item in a film or photo tableau? The Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers in Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette are one classic example (a nice hipster wink by the talented director). It’s also certainly possible that you are nurturing such pairings at home. Does the blender in your kitchen actually blend with the other items on your counters? Now there’s a mid-century solution that matches the selection of Heath mugs, Danish flatware, and Walter Gropius-designed plates in your cabinets. Italian cookware brand Smeg has launched the appliance with a period-perfect look to match the mixers, toasters, and refrigerators it has been manufacturing since 1948. What sweet harmony.
