Piano Design
The Piano Design Studio has applied architecture to household objects to create elegant and solid products with a refined and exclusive style. Finished with high quality polished stainless steel the Piano Design oven, cooktops and Home Garden make the kitchen a refined and exclusive place.
Statement Aesthetics
Piano Design cooktops are the ultimate style statement, with soft undulating lines that create a real focus point in any kitchen.
The cooktops are constructed in single units, reducing the need for visible connections and screws, making the cooking surface smooth and simple to clean. Each burner has its own, individual four-arm grate, eliminating the need for reducers to use small pans. The 100cm (approx 39") and 72cm (approx 28") cooktops include an ultra-rapid 12,300 BTU burner, ideal for fast cooking.
Since 1988, Smeg has been present in Europe through its nine branches. Each one of them is strongly tied to the parent company which day by day feeds the branches with the ideas, history, and culture which make up their brand. Each branch, whilst autonomous, works in perfect harmony with the philosophy which has made Smeg's style unique. For more than 50 years, Smeg has been present in the international market with its products.
Understated lines, perfect in their simplicity - this is what makes Smeg products refined and elegant, beyond the passing fads of fashion. It is an unmistakable style, shaped by the leading architects and industrial designers in the world who have undertaken original and exclusive projects.
The engineering behind both their materials and their processes allow for the highest quality steel, which is rigorously selected, to be transformed into products which combine the highest levels of technology and design. Production, incorporating laser cutting facilities for steel, workshop at the avant-garde of mechanics, exhaustive fatigue testing of materials, and laboratories engaged constantly in research, all testify to Smeg's commitment to offer aspirational products destined to be durable and to last in time.

Rated 4 out of 5 by dtp it's just okay
We bought it for the looks, and almost everyone who sees it gives an unsolicited compliment about it's appearance. It's tough to keep clean, doesn't have a terribly hot burner, and it's slightly difficult to light. I'd recommend if you want something esthetic and you don't do a lot of cooking. I'm not disappointed, but I'm not sure I'd buy it again.

Rated 5 out of 5 Wouldn't have any other.
The burners get great heat. I love the look and get loads of compliments from visitors. I wish I could have bought the matching wall oven!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Luka Lovely design, controls - eh
We purchased this cooktop in Oct. 07 and had it installed right away. It's beautiful and definitely doesn't feel ordinary. Most friends thought it was vintage. Cooks well but the controllers (knobs) are a little annoying, you must always turn the knob to the left to ignite the ignition and then also put on which burner you would like. A little odd and hard to get used to. Would I buy again? I don't think so.
