The Big Chill fridge is equipped with numerous modern features including a temperature management system, automatic moisture control, self-defrost, easy-clean spill-proof glass shelves, an egg bin, optional icemaker and butter compartment. The Big Chill fridge (available in two sizes) is retro in aesthetics alone. The company’s expansion was marked by the introduction of a coordinating retro dishwasher and retro stove. The American company, Big Chill is based in Boulder, Colorado. Smeg, an Italian company, also boasts a 50s style refrigerator: more streamlined than the original models, it lacks the authenticity of the chrome trim and stamped metal front. Different aesthetics; both throwbacks to the same period.
