The Classica Collection by SMEG was designed by Italian architect Guido Canali who has contributed to the restoration of a number of historical structures such as the National Gallery in Parma, the Santa Maria della Scala in Siena, Prada’s headquarters in Tuscany, and the Museum of the Duomo in Milan’s main square.
The collection’s aesthetic is distinctive for the way it uses stainless steel with the utmost stylistic rigor, highlighting the unique control knobs, and the clean, refined, and ergonomic handles that combine typical elements of industrial design.
“We are proud to announce this partnership with SMEG Canada as the first-of-its-kind in North America, bringing top quality appliances to each suite at Arcadia District and elevating the experience for every resident in the community,” said Chris Smith, vice-president, EllisDon Developments.

Gisela Mussen, general manager and managing director, SMEG Canada Inc. said: “With this partnership, we look forward to bringing our internationally recognized made-in-Italy appliances to the residents of Arcadia District, creating one-of-a-kind spaces that combine performance and style.”
With a global presence, SMEG is also known for partnering with luxury brands and outfitting international landmarks ranging from residential developments to luxury hotels in cities including Dubai, London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Stockholm, New York City, and Miami.
While SMEG has partnered on residential projects in the U.S., never has SMEG partnered on a project of this scale in North America, the company says.
EllisDon Developments will launch sales pre-construction for Arcadia District in fall 2023.
