About Dreame Lux Beverage Master Refrigerator
Dreame Lux Beverage Master is a refrigerator with an integrated beverage system. A sparkling water system and a pure ice system are built into the freezer door, so separate appliances are not needed and interior capacity is preserved. The refrigerator provides cube ice, crushed ice, chilled water and sparkling water with adjustable carbonation levels. The door panel is made of 1.5 mm stainless steel with a nano-blasted finish and a transparent ceramic coating, giving a smooth matte surface that resists scratches and deformation. The internal drawers include titanium trays.
Within the evolving landscape of domestic appliance design, Maohuang Xu's refrigerator emerges as a thoughtful meditation on the intersection of functional necessity and aesthetic refinement, positioning refrigeration technology as an integral component of contemporary residential architecture rather than merely utilitarian equipment. The design vocabulary draws upon the visual language of contemporary minimalism while incorporating material sensibilities that suggest awareness of both Scandinavian restraint and the material expressiveness found in current interior design discourse. Compositionally, the work demonstrates sophisticated understanding of how domestic appliances function within broader spatial hierarchies, its vertical proportions and symmetrical door configuration establishing visual stability while the integrated dispenser introduces purposeful asymmetry that invites closer examination. The chromatic decisions reveal careful consideration of how metallic surfaces interact with varied lighting conditions, the brushed finish diffusing illumination across its facade in gentle gradations that avoid harsh reflections while maintaining the material honesty valued in contemporary design philosophy. The translucent lower panel suggests innovation in revealing interior contents, transforming the traditionally opaque appliance boundary into a zone of visual permeability that echoes broader architectural trends toward transparency and connection. The environmental staging presents the appliance within a material context of considerable sophistication, where natural stone, refined cabinetry, and the contemplative presence of exterior landscape create a holistic vision of elevated domestic life. This presentation invites consideration of how refrigeration technology has evolved from purely functional apparatus to design object worthy of careful aesthetic consideration, and how such objects contribute to the experiential quality of spaces where nourishment and gathering intersect.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The refrigerator seamlessly blends technology and aesthetics by integrating a sparkling water and a pure ice system into the freezer door without reducing internal capacity or requiring extra accessories. The sparkling water system supports customization of carbonization levels, while the pure ice system achieves 50% higher ice clarity than conventional models. The sleek, minimalist, and stylish matte-textured door panel addresses issues of deformation and scratches in traditional door casings.

- Production Technology
- The 1.5mm 304 stainless steel door panel with a nano-blasted finish showcases a refined matte texture and soft touch while crafting a minimalist yet tech-savvy look. By seamlessly integrating stainless steel into the door construction rather than relying on traditional metal folding techniques, the door panel ensures a smooth surface and avoids issues like deformation and scratches. The internal drawers feature titanium trays, offering enhanced healthy safety when in contact with food.
- Design Challenge
- The refrigerator innovatively integrates a solid 1.5 mm stainless steel plate directly into the door body, transcending traditional folded metal door panels prone to deformation, scratches, and harsh glare. With a nano-blasted finish and a transparent ceramic coating, it ensures an exceptionally smooth surface and strong impact resistance while delivering a refined matte texture and visual appeal, thereby achieving a harmonious balance between structural reliability and premium aesthetics.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in May 2026.
- Operation Flow
- The refrigerator integrates a sparkling water system and a pure ice system into the freezer door, delivering cube ice, crushed ice, chilled water, and sparkling water with customized carbonation levels. Its ergonomic all-in-one design simplifies operation, eliminating the need for extra devices without compromising the interior space or accessibility. The carbon dioxide cylinder can be replaced easily, while a 3D sterilization system and smart AI modes ensure silent and energy-saving operation.
- Research
- The versatile refrigerator redefines the user experience by enabling personalized customization of ice cubes, chilled water, and sparkling water carbonization levels, without the need for extra appliances. It helps save approximately 2,680 euros (equivalent to the cost of 3,730 bottles of sparkling water). Through its highly integrated design and smart AI modes, the refrigerator reduces energy consumption of about 200kWh, seamlessly blending energy efficiency with sustainable living.
- Inspiration
- The refrigerator redefines design boundaries with integrated systems for sparkling water and pure ice in the freezer door. It eliminates the need for extra devices and enables on-demand access to refreshing beverages, with customizable ice-making, water chilling, and sparkling water carbonation levels to enhance convenience and quality of life. Additionally, the door panel boasts a refined matte texture and soft touch, embodying a technologically advanced aesthetic.
