Our homes have become everything to us in the last 18 months – transforming into schools, offices, gyms and entertainment spaces. Although with so much time spent within our four walls, the home has also become a little too comfortable, with many Europeans in need of a reset. This year’s Life Unstoppable experience seeks to spark inspiration for those seeking to innovate their home experience, with products that enable consumers to once again ‘press play’ on a life of wonder and delight.

Life Unstoppable: ’house of surprises’ follows a family of eclectic characters, on a journey through their vibrant home, demonstrating the ways in which Samsung’s connected ecosystem of devices allows the family to unearth their inner creativity, passion and fuel a Life Unstoppable.

Life Unstoppable: ‘house of surprises’ is the first feature mini-movie of its kind for the brand, bringing technology to life in ways never seen before. The experience tours six different rooms in the ‘house of surprises’, with interactive vignettes each showcasing a collection of truly connected Samsung products, that fuel a much-needed reset of joy and inspiration in the home – from mobile screens that flip and fold, to immersive TVs that take your breath away, and home appliance innovations that bring a new spark to even your least favorite tasks.

“At Samsung, we develop innovations that go beyond what people expect. From folding phones to TVs that show art when switched off and washing machines that get your clothes faster by only using the amount of time, detergent and water actually needed,” said Benjamin Braun, Samsung Europe’s Chief Marketing Officer. “With the Samsung ‘house of surprises’ we are showing how our connected products bring innovations that help customers to live a Life Unstoppable.”

Samsung products and services are spotlighted in the immersive and colorful ‘house of surprises’, through brand spokespeople and the eccentric Unstoppables family: Gym-Buff Dad, Rockstar Mom, Magician Archie, Superstar Chef Evie and former Lucha-Libre Wrestler Gran.
