2023, Samsung Family Hub™ came back in a new shape and form, known as the Plus. The larger 32-inch display and the wide array of features were jam-packed with designers’ thoughtful and innovative ideas. The Bespoke 4-Door Flex™ Refrigerator with Family Hub™+ truly unveils new lifestyles that directly impact us in bigger and more ways.
Bigger screens mean greater attention to detail. For instance, the 32-inch display needed to be accessible to both children and wheelchair users, so the bottom portion of the display was positioned to be mindful of these users’ needs. The top of the display was raised, but the Accessible Screen feature lets users tap the home button twice to bring down the top portion of the screen. The panel surrounding the screen was carefully fitted to make sure the details on the edges were smooth. The mic at the bottom was also moved upwards so that every detail we need to see — or what we don’t — is precisely designed into the form.
Moreover, a wide variety of panel materials are available to choose from, allowing users to design a refrigerator that feels best to their touch. The satin glass is velvety in texture, offering both comfort and glow, while the glam glass brightens any environment with its high gloss surface. Metal embodies Millennial sentiments through a subtle, monotone finish. Panels are easily interchangeable so that a single refrigerator base can support a wide range of styles
Electrolux put his foot down and after very tough negotiations obtained the productivity increases he demanded in order to transfer a large part of the Hungarian factory’s refrigerator production to Susegana in Italy
In Susegana, the Swedes will invest 110 million euros between now and 2026 to make it one of its most automated and digitized production sites
In 2019, the multinational had already invested 130 million euros and built two Genesi assembly lines, among the most automated of the entire group. A few months ago in Solaro, on the outskirts of Milan, a similar investment-productivity pact was made with the union: in that case the agreement envisaged investments of 102 million euros to revitalize the site where high-end dishwashers are produced of range.
Large household appliances will have to be transported almost entirely using reuseable packaging by 2030, according to the European Commission’s proposed packaging waste law, a move widely questioned by players in the supply chain.
The EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), tabled in November last year, aims to slash unnecessary boxes and wrappings while promoting recycling as well as reuse.
The proposal, which is currently being examined by the European Parliament and EU member states before eventual adoption, has caused anxiety in the retail and logistics sector, which is still in the process of analysing the implications of the Commission’s proposed reuse targets.
But the white goods sector is confronted with headaches of their own.
Under the Commission’s proposal, 90% of packaging used for large household appliances must be “made available in reusable transport packaging” by 2030 when they are placed on the EU market for the first time.
The mandate is contained in Article 26.1 of the draft regulation, which lays down re-use targets for packaging used in the transport of “large household appliances” such as refrigerators, washing machines, tumble dryers, electric fans or air conditioners.
Whether that objective makes sense is open for debate, though.
The provision “is a significant source of concern for our sector”, said Paolo Falcioni, director general of APPLiA, a trade association representing the home appliance industry in Europe.
According to APPLiA, packaging for large household appliances must be functional and protective, to ensure the product is not damaged physically or by humidity during its journey from the manufacturer to the retailer and eventually to the consumer.
Packaging typically used for this purpose include pallets, plastic straps, carboard boxes, and pallet wrappings, some of which “cannot be reused due to technical constraints”, APPLiA said.
“For example, pallet wrapping may become damaged or contaminated with materials that cannot be adequately cleaned, rendering them unusable for future shipments. In other cases, reuse may be possible, but the cost and complexity of returning the packaging to the manufacturer can make it impractical,”

Functional and user-friendly design with smart functions is the main focus when Wilfa develops new products. We are therefore proud to be recognized for this work by both the Red Dot Award and the iF Design Award, and to receive awards for product design 2023 for both the Probaker kitchen machine and the Smooth Mix hand mixer.
– It is a pleasure to receive awards from two recognized institutions, for two product designs, after extensive development and design processes. We see this as confirmation of our focus and determination in the work with innovative product development, says Morten Hoff, CEO of Wilfa.
In connection with the Red Dot Award, the products have been thoroughly reviewed and assessed according to, among other things, design quality and degree of innovation. Being selected from among a strong group of participants is, according to the Red Dot Award, testimony to the products’ extraordinary quality.
The iF Final Jury evaluates each product based on five criteria: differentiation, form, function, idea and effect. Both the Probaker kitchen machine and the Smooth Mix hand mixer received high scores on each of the five criteria – with the emphasis on form and idea for Probaker and differentiation for Smooth Mix.
Wilfa Probaker kitchen machine
The Probaker kitchen machine is designed to utilize functions that are unique to professional kitchenmachines, and with a minimalist appearance adapted to the Nordic home. The product’s visual form is strongly linked to function.
The Probaker kitchen machine and the Smooth Mix hand mixer are winners of both the Red Dot and iF Design Awards 2023.
In the development process, Wilfa and Eker Design collaborated with both the Norwegian national baking team and hand-picked, enthusiastic hobby bakers to achieve the goal of creating a kitchen machine that provides a professional baking result for all users, regardless of experience.
Wilfa Smooth Mix hand mixer
Smooth Mix is designed and developed with ease of use in mind. By focusing on the tactile points in addition to the functional properties, Wilfa Smooth Mix feels like something new. Special emphasis has been placed on the geometry of the whisks, which are optimized for efficient whipping of cream, egg whites and the like.
In the design and development process, we have combined our internal product development resources with the Norwegian design agency Permafrost. Together with our baking experts, the goal was to achieve optimal settings for low and high speed, with enough torque to handle dough hooks and heavy workloads, all in a stylish package
