The Design
About Whirlpool Lapis Grande 유리도어 냉장고
월풀 라피스 그란데(Whirlpool Lapis Grande)는 현대적인 주거 공간을 위해 디자인된 유리도어 냉장고입니다. 전면 패널은 대리석 패턴과 골드 포인트로 마감되어, 대부분의 냉장고에서 볼 수 있는 기존의 스틸 외관에서 벗어났습니다. 아트워크는 유리 위에 직접 인쇄되었으며, 유리 특유의 녹색 색조를 보정하기 위해 정밀하게 조정된 색상 테스트를 거쳤습니다. 유리 표면은 청소가 간편하고 매끄러운 일체감 있는 외관을 선사합니다. 이 냉장고는 열 가지 컨버터블 모드를 제공하며, 약 10분 만에 냉동실을 냉장실로 전환할 수 있습니다.

- 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.
