About Whirlpool Lapis Grande ガラスドア冷蔵庫
Whirlpool Lapis Grandeは、現代の住まいのためにデザインされたガラスドア冷蔵庫です。フロントパネルには大理石模様とゴールドのアクセントを施し、多くの冷蔵庫に共通する従来のスチール調の外観から脱却しました。アートワークはガラスに直接プリントされており、ガラス特有の緑がかった色味を補正するために、綿密に調整されたカラートライアルが行われました。ガラス表面はお手入れが簡単で、継ぎ目のない滑らかな佇まいを生み出します。この冷蔵庫は10種類のコンバーチブルモードを備え、約10分で冷凍室を冷蔵室に切り替えることができます。

- Production Technology
- Leveraging deep material expertise, the In-house Design team collaborated with global suppliers to turn a vision into reality. By printing directly onto glass, they preserved the artwork's richness and depth. To overcome the glass’s natural green tint, the team conducted rigorous calibrated trials, balancing dark marble tones with warm gold accents. This meticulous color correction ensured the final production matched the intended premium visual impact.
- Design Challenge
- The primary research challenge was navigating India’s immense cultural and regional diversity. Defining a universally accepted "premium" aesthetic is highly complex when regional sensibilities and acceptance of modern finishes vary drastically. These fragmented geographical preferences had to be reconciled while also addressing the stark contrasts in taste between mass and premium buyers. The core hurdle was synthesizing diverse consumer feedback on various marble and stone patterns to find a unifying design language. The intent was to craft a distinctive, modern finish that satisfied the premium segment's desire for differentiation while achieving broad cultural resonance across the diverse Indian market.
- Research
- A detailed consumer and market research was conducted by the In-house research team across different regions of India to better understand changing lifestyles and design preferences in the refrigerator category. The research showed that many consumers, especially in the premium segment are seeking modern yet differentiated home appliances. It also highlighted clear differences between mass and premium buyers in their expectations and taste. These insights guided the development of the Jade Marble glass door refrigerator, helping the team create a design that feels modern, distinctive, and relevant to its audience.
- Inspiration
- Modern homes are now personal sanctuaries reflecting individual taste. As luxury shifts toward meaningful storytelling, interiors blend natural materials with modern style. Inspired by Kintsugi, embracing beauty in imperfection, and the prestige of marble, Whirlpool’s glass-finish refrigerator translates stone into contemporary art. More than an appliance, it is a statement of elegance and individuality, crafted by Whirlpool to define the future of elevated living in premium homes.
