Designed in conjunction with Jeff and bearing his distinctive sensibilities, the Creator’s Room is a curated ‘living space’ fitted with stylish objects, artwork and LG’s latest lifestyle solutions.

Located inside LG’s booth at CES, the Creator’s Room perfectly illustrates how the company’s premium home appliances can blend in with and enhance any lifestyle. The space also shows off the unique aesthetic that has made Jeff a favorite of streetwear fans and ‘sneakerheads’ the world over and includes some of his most-cherished items, such as limited-edition sneakers, figurines and art books.

Supporting Jeff’s passion for shoes and adding to the hip, young vibe of the exhibit is a double row (2 x 5) of the LG Styler™ ShoeCase, a space-friendly solution for storing, displaying and caring for limited-edition footwear. Also seamlessly slotting into the space is the LG Styler ShoeCare, which leverages LG’s hygiene-enhancing TrueSteam™ technology to keep shoes fresh and looking their best. Additionally, both creative, cutting-edge products reflect the company’s commitment to good ESG management as their gloss exteriors are made entirely from recycled plastics.

All of the advanced appliances on show in the Creator’s Room are compatible with the LG ThinQ™ app, which offers access to a range of features and personalized services that help create a more convenient and customized user experience. For example, the app can be used to change the color of the refrigerator with MoodUP™, whose LED door panels present users with more than 190,000 possible color combinations to experiment with.

Impressive comeback of the IFA in 202

Posted on by

Sustainability, connectivity and smart home solutions were the major themes at this year’s IFA Berlin – the proportion of trade visitors is growing – strong demand for digital access to the IFA

After a three-year break, the IFA in Berlin has made a strong comeback as the top global event for the consumer and home electronics industry. Despite the pandemic restrictions still in place, which continue to affect parts of Asia, exhibitors occupied more than 80 percent of the exhibition space on the Messe Berlin site. The exhibitors took the opportunity to finally get in touch with dealers, media and end consumers again.

IFA 2022 was also very well attended overall, especially given the ongoing travel restrictions in Asia. Over 161,000 people came to the IFA in Berlin over the five days of the fair. In the pre-pandemic comparison, the proportion of trade visitors was higher. Many exhibitors reported an unusually high number of business transactions during the fair.

The IFA again generated a strong media response: more than 2,500 journalists came to Berlin, around half of them representing international media organizations. Media monitoring has shown that IFA 2022 was reported on by publications and broadcasters in over 100 countries worldwide.

Positive feedback from global brands and retailers
Despite global challenges such as ongoing supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures, exhibitors at IFA 2022 saw a huge volume of orders.
dr Sara Warneke , Managing Director of gfu, explains: “After the break caused by the pandemic, the IFA has reported back impressively with the most important trends for products and solutions in the areas of consumer electronics and home appliances as well as related industries, especially in the field of sustainability. It was once again the proven meeting place for industry and trade, trade visitors and the media, and of course consumers.”

Martin Ecknig, CEO of Messe Berlin, says: “It’s fantastic that our halls were once again full. I’ve had very positive feedback from all the global brands and retailers I’ve spoken to, and I’m particularly pleased that we’ve had such a large number of insiders and trade visitors at IFA Berlin. We are well on the way to the IFA returning to its full strength in the next few years.”

Berlin’s Governing Mayor Franziska Giffeyis convinced: “The leading trade fair with its smart innovations and energy-efficient technologies is a motor for the economy and the markets worldwide. It is one of Berlin’s flagships, not only as a trade fair and congress, but also as the leading European hub for innovation and technology. The IFA 2022 is a kind of beacon, not least because after two difficult years it stands for an upswing.”

Sustainability in the focus of consumer and home electronics

In addition to the intelligent networking of devices and smart home solutions, sustainability was
one of the major topics at this year’s IFA in Berlin.

This was also reflected in some of the IFA keynotes: Hakan Bulgurlu,
Arçelik’s Chief Executive Officer, made a passionate appeal to the consumer and home electronics
industry to work together and do their part to mitigate climate change and
reduce pollution. Gwenaelle Avice-Huet,
Schneider Electric’s Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer, delved further into how smart home
devices can make our homes more sustainable.
