For many modern consumers drawn to nostalgic gems like physical books, vinyl records, and Polaroid cameras, there's something comforting and cool about going retro in the digital age. Often, this mindset and aesthetic extends to kitchen appliances—from candy-colored vintage espresso machines to toasters to the popular Smeg USA refrigerators currently housed in Ace Hotel rooms across the country.
Big Chill, a kitchen appliances manufacturer offering a suite of 1950s-style refrigerators, ovens, stoves, dishwashers, microwaves, and more, is another company giving the tastemakers what they want: an elegant design fusion of the past, present, and future. Likewise, BlueStar, which specializes in professional-grade, high-performance refrigerators, ranges, and induction cooktops, provides an eclectic array of retro-inspired colors and other customizations to fit each end-user’s unique sense of style, in addition to specific cooking, baking, and food storage needs.
