Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced it is showcasing its connected, AI-powered kitchen vision at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) 2026, being held in Orlando, Florida from Feb. 17-19. Bringing together its Bespoke AI lineup and Dacor, its premium built-in kitchen brand, Samsung is introducing a premium wine culture that redefines modern living with smart storage, sophisticated design and AI innovation[1] — setting a new standard for smart and reliable homes.

“The kitchen is evolving into the center of home life, and Samsung continues to introduce intelligent solutions that organically connect appliances, services and everyday experiences,” said Sang Jik Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of the Sales and Marketing Team for the Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “At KBIS, we are showing how Dacor redefines modern living by blending functionality, aesthetics, and smart technology, setting the future of kitchen—where every detail elevates form and function.”

Dacor’s Premium Wine Culture and the Innovative Design of the ‘Hidden Kitchen’

At the exhibition, a dedicated wall is showcasing Dacor’s refined offerings, developed with wine aficionados in mind. On display are the 24-Inch Undercounter Wine Cellar, Wine Column and Built-in Wine Dispenser, the last of which holds up to four bottles of wine and features dual temperature zones that preserve wines by maintaining separate recommended storage temperatures for each red and white wine. Additionally, with a simple touch, user can select and serve the appropriate amount of wine.

Dacor is also introducing sleek and organized kitchen designs that seamlessly blend into the overall ambiance of the home when not in use. These designs emphasize the idea of a “hidden kitchen” concealed within curved columns or furniture and encompassing a complete lineup — a refrigerator, cooktop and the 2025 LUXE RED Design Award-winning 24-Inch Dishwasher — ensuring both practicality and functionality.

Dacor’s premium appliances also support SmartThings[2] connectivity, enabling users to manage key functions through their connected ecosystem.

Bespoke AI: Smart, Connected and Reliable Kitchen Innovation

Also, on display at KBIS is the Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub, which features the innovation AI Vision.  Powered by advanced camera-based recognition technology. This allows users to effortlessly check the contents of their refrigerator and efficiently manage ingredient lists². Previously, the system could recognize up to 37 types of fresh food and 50 types of pre-registered processed food directly on-device.[3] Samsung plans to enhance this feature to overcome existing limitations, enabling recognition of an even greater variety of food items.

A diverse range of Bespoke AI products — including dishwashers, ovens and laundry appliances — are also on display for KBIS visitors to experience. Connected control through SmartThings2 is a key differentiator of these products, as it allows users to conveniently monitor devices from their smartphones.  The seamless harmony among these kitchen appliances is further enhanced by Bixby[4] voice control. For example, a user can stand in front of the refrigerator and ask, “Hi Bixby, can you recommend a recipe based on my food list?” Then, it offers recipes and guided cooking instructions.[5]

Since reliability is a major factor in making a connected ecosystem strong and stable, Samsung has dedicated a part of its exhibit to its commitment to assuring the quality of Bespoke AI products and services that are available to consumers after purchase. Along with regular software updates, Samsung offers Home Appliance Remote Management (HRM)[6], which is a service that can help consumers understand and manage the status of appliances through monitoring[7], diagnosis, and remote service support.

The exhibition showcases Bespoke AI appliances — namely the Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator with AI Family Hub+, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo and the Bespoke Slide-in Induction Range — which are great additions to any smart home ecosystem. The LCD screens on these appliances act as a hub, allowing easy and intuitive access and control across various intelligent, connected devices. Visitors can experience how implementation of AI can deliver a personalized experience and make daily routines better and more enjoyable.

Additionally, the exhibition provides information on AI Energy Mode in SmartThings Energy[1] and Samsung Care, both of which support Samsung’s commitment to making users’ daily lives more convenient.

Samsung’s KBIS booth also has a dedicated space with built-in appliances from Dacor, including the 2025 Dacor Induction Range. Designed for a premium kitchen, Dacor’s 30” Column Refrigerator – Panel Ready; 30” Column Freezer – Panel Ready; 30” Combination Wall Oven with Steam; and 24” Built-in Wine Dispenser form a seamless wall to bring a clean and luxurious look to the home interior. A separate wine zone also showcases the 24” Wine Column – Panel Ready that continues into an impressive Dacor Wine Wall where visitors can take photos.

“We are looking forward to introducing our Samsung Bespoke and Dacor appliances, all of which harness powerful hyperconnectivity and AI technology to anticipate personal needs and simplify daily tasks,” said Taehwan Hwang, EVP and Head of the Sales and Marketing Team of Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “And as the premier stage for home innovation, KBIS is a good place for us to showcase how these smart, beautifully designed appliances work together to create seamless and personalized experiences for every household.”

Introducing the 2025 Dacor Induction Range: A Powerful Enhancement to Any Kitchen

The 2025 Dacor Induction Range empowers users to quickly and flexibly cook a variety of dishes. The powerful heat of a 4.3kW Induction Cooktop enables fast and intensive cooking that seals in delicious flavors, making it ideal for sautéing, searing or quickly boiling. The cooktop’s Anti Scratch Glass makes surface cleaning and maintenance super easy, and the matte black finish adds a premium look to the kitchen.

There’s also a 7” Sync Burner that allows users to adjust two separate burners with one control so they can be kept at the same temperature and act as one large cooking zone for large cookware. Since this model is ENERGY STAR® certified, all the power that comes with it doesn’t come at the cost of efficiency, either.

Additionally, Dacor’s Dual Four-part Pure Convection system cooks multiple dishes quickly and thoroughly with no flavor transfer, reducing cooking time by distributing heat evenly across the entire oven. The four key components are as follows:

• a 1300W heating element to provide heat
• a convection fan to circulate air
• an oven-specific baffle to evenly channel air
• a triple-mesh filter to prevent flavor crossover

Users will also benefit from the luxurious Art Hairline Finish, which features long, horizontal brush strokes on the stainless-steel exterior to contribute to a sophisticated matte appearance that blends harmoniously with kitchen interiors.

We are moving towards a new era of interior design. Now, instead of hiding appliances away, they are becoming a part of our furniture. Emphasizing design and color, home appliances are reflecting individual tastes and lifestyles as the line between furniture and appliance becomes increasingly blurred.

Today’s millennial-minded consumers have unique concerns throughout the home, which Samsung strives to address in its designs. The company is showcasing a range of home appliances and products at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) 2019, which hosts over 600 exhibitors from home appliance brands around the world as they display their flagship products, enlivened with insights garnered from interior design experts, product designers and the media. Samsung’s booth embraces this year’s millennial lifestyle trends and demonstrates a deep consideration for its consumers.

Three key elements have emerged as the defining trends of 2019, as the company spotlights a new shift in colors, its commitment to the principles of flat design and a range of built-in packages that suit any lifestyle.

#Colors to Warm the Home

The modern home is warm and inviting, with hues that hold a hint of understated luxury. In keeping with this theme, Samsung has introduced new product colors that bring a comforting glow to the home.

In addition to classic Black Stainless Steel and White versions available for both Front Load and Top Load Washers, the Front Load version is also offered in a beautiful, new Champagne finish. This sleek satin tone complements and brightens any laundry area, with a touch of minimalist beauty that blends seamlessly into its surroundings.  

Samsung’s Tuscan Stainless Steel built-in products and kitchen packages are designed to accentuate the warm, social kitchen with their welcoming color. The package’s natural tones, neutral bronze hue and serene textured finishing evoke an elegance and sophistication which seamlessly integrates into any style of kitchen.

Samsung AirDressers likewise radiate warmth. Their mirror and glass exteriors are finished in Gold Mirror and Classic White, with their different textures deepening the sense of the AirDresser as an atmospheric extension of the space it occupies.

The Foundations of #FlatDesign

As people seek to create spaces that make a real difference in their lives, Samsung thinks deeply about consumers during the design process, listening carefully to their needs to shape a new aesthetic.

With the space constraints of modern homes prompting a new decluttering movement, today’s homeowners are drawn to the smooth and clean lines that have long captivated industrial designers. Consumers are seeking appliances that have seamless built-in finishes and harmonize with the rest of their interior design.

Samsung is informed by the principles of “Flat Design”, a minimalist approach that maximizes usability and minimizes unnecessary aspects, throughout a range of appliances. Flat design is underpinned by the use of hidden displays, recessed handles and minimal dispensers, with a precision engineered flat face that sits flush to the counter front. These features are reflected in a wide variety of appliances at KBIS 2019, such as Flat door featured in French Refrigerator Samsung’s RF8000, creating harmony with the space it occupies. The aesthetic offers an uninterrupted, clean line that extends throughout the rest of the kitchen, with a seamless built-in finish.

Your Home, Your Lifestyle #Built_In

For many households, the kitchen is the hub of the home and finding the perfect kitchen to suit individual needs has emerged as strong priority. Customizability and flexibility in design gives home owners and builders the freedom to create truly personal kitchens.

Samsung’s built-in kitchen packages are built to fit any lifestyle, offering a diverse selection of designs that complement a range of kitchen sizes and shapes.

Leading American luxury home appliance brand, Dacor, is exploring the culture of modern-day entertaining and demonstrating how Dacor products can be integrated and tailored to fit a variety of lifestyles, in an immersive journey entitled: ‘A Tale of Three Parties’. The booth will highlight the brand’s stainless-steel Heritage collection with a brunch setting in the Farm-To-Table Room.

The Gourmand Room features the stainless-steel Modernist collection in an elegant dinner party setting. Finally, a Speakeasy space will display the flourish of the sleek Modernist collection in graphite stainless-steel.

Intelligent Recommendations for Chefs

Chef Davide Oldani was in charge of the appetizer while Chef Michel Troisgros provided the main dish and dessert. In order to decide what to prepare, the chefs used the View Inside function on the Family Hub to look at ingredients without having to open the refrigerator.

The chefs then reached out to the audience for a volunteer to take a look at the Smart Recipe offerings of the Family Hub with them. Smart Recipe is a novel intelligent function that recommends menu options for you based on the shelf life of the ingredients stored within, accommodating its suggestions to users’ tastes and preferences. Chef Troisgros (pictured above) praised its resourcefulness, noting that the strategic nature of the Smart Recipe function meant that no ingredient would be wasted.

Chef Troisgros confessed to the audience that the Family Hub was his personal favorite feature for its aesthetic quality, intelligent suggestions and the usability of the screen – perfect for messy cooking sessions.

With the volunteer having reviewed the screen and expressed their preference for something with passion fruit, Chef Troisgros announced that he would create a Swiss meringue dessert with a passion fruit filling arranged in the shape of a sunflower, “inspired by the expansive sunflower fields of my home in France.”

When it was his turn to use the Family Hub, Chef Troisgros told the audience: “the ‘window’ function of the Family Hub is perfect for getting the most out of your food. Eliminating the need to open the fridge door frequently, ingredients inside are kept fresh and at their best for longer.” The View Inside function even lists the expiration dates of the products, ensuring your ingredients are prepared when at their best.

Chef Oldani then utilized the Family Hub’s Smart Recipe function to settle on a unique bruschetta appetizer, regaling the audience with the fascinating story behind the evolution of the bruschetta recipe and even providing guests with a special Italian tomato water taster. Chef Troisgros then decided on a dynamic recipe of his own for the main course, ‘Le Jaune Ivre de Rouge’; a baked potato with egg yolk and parma ham in a red wine sauce.

Precise Cooking for Any Recipe

As the chefs got down to cooking, the audience was amazed when both of the chefs were able to cook their dishes, with different cooking times and temperatures, simultaneously with the Dual Cook Flex Oven. Chef Troisgros made the point that the Dual Flex makes the cooking process so much less stressful; “with many dishes to prepare at once, it can be stressful to know when and what to do. But at least with appliances like the Dual Flex, people can be more confident with the assistance these smart features provide.”

In addition to this helpful dual function, Chef Troisgros informed that audience that the Dual Cook Flex Oven automatically maintains the temperatures of both its compartments to ensure each dish is cooked to perfection, a feature critical to food preparation.

As the chefs moved along to the stovetop cooker, the audience watched in awe when, as Chef Oldani switched on the hob on, the hood automatically activated and the Virtual Flame function lit up. Virtual Flame, which glows just like a real flame to alert users to the heat of the cooker, is particularly useful in a family home to keep children away from open flames. Chef Oldani was quick to inform the audience that this feature was his favorite; “Chefs can get a feel for the temperature of the appliance and also stay safe in a busy kitchen.”

Premium Design, Smart Function

The built-in smart kitchen that was used during the cooking show is a collaboration between Samsung and German premium furniture company Nolte, with Samsung’s latest smart appliances fitting seamlessly into the luxurious design and décor of Nolte’s signature kitchen furnishings. The sleek design and sophisticated layout of the cooking space attracted many guests’ attention.

This year’s Samsung’s built-in kitchen booth was also designed with other luxury furniture brands including Italy’s LUBE, which are shown in the ‘Premium Kitchen Zone’ alongside Nolte products, and at luxury built-in brand ‘Dacor Zone’, attendees are able to peruse some of these innovative designs. The IFA kitchen is a testament to how Samsung smart kitchen appliances with AI and IoT can harmonize seamlessly with kitchen furnishings. Samsung has also collaborated with renowned brands including Scavolini and Veneta Cucine, and participated at exhibitions like EuroCucina to strengthen its commitment to building world-class premium appliances.

The smart kitchen zone was enhanced by luxury built-in kitchen appliance brand Dacor for a seamless finish incorporating the premium smart appliances into the kitchen space fluidly.

Having finished their meals, audience members expressed their wonder at the delicate tastes of each course, all cooked to perfection with Samsung’s intelligent kitchen appliances. Audience member Michael Wasiau especially appreciated the experimental nature of Chef Oldani’s bruschetta course, made with such simple ingredients as discovered in the Family Hub fridge.

Other audience members found the cooking show informative, as it highlighted the practice usage features like Smart Recipe can offer; “I usually check myself what’s in the fridge to see what I can make,” said Thea Frosshoph. “So, when cooking, besides getting creative myself and thinking ‘okay, what am I going to make today?’ I can find some cooking inspiration with what’s available.”

The audience left the cooking show inspired to make their own meals effortlessly with the help of the Samsung smart appliance ecosystem. “We are focused on bringing kitchens to life with smart technology that simplifies everything and creates new lifestyle opportunities,” affirms BK Kang, Executive Vice President of Digital Appliance Business at Samsung.
