‘Samsung Electronics has pursued lifestyle innovations based on both reflection of current trends and its insight into customer needs in the future,’ said Dontae Lee, Executive Vice President and the Head of the Corporate Design Center at Samsung Electronics.

The innovative Sero TV won the gold award alongside the Bespoke customisable refrigerator.

The Sero, which means ‘vertical’ in Korean, has the ability to pivot between horizontal and vertical positions, mimicking the use of a smartphone.

The new lifestyle TV also features a ‘modern and elegant’ design that stands out in any space.

Meanwhile, the Bespoke refrigerator, which is customisable to consumers’ personal tastes, consists of eight models ranging from one-door to four-door units. The ‘Kitchen Fit’ door was employed to give a ‘built in-like’ look to any kitchen.
