<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that it is expanding its flat design, previously available on select premium models, to its new front-load washing machine lineup. The new models are currently on display at Samsung Connect, Samsung’s exhibition being held during IFA 2026 from Sept. 2-6, offering visitors an early look ahead of the official launch.<sup data-fn="ad501349-948b-44ee-8392-11dbe13ce253" class="fn"><a href="#ad501349-948b-44ee-8392-11dbe13ce253" id="ad501349-948b-44ee-8392-11dbe13ce253-link">1</a></sup></p>



<p>“Customers around the world increasingly expect home appliances to harmonise with their living environments,” said Hyoung Min Park, Vice President and Head of the Customer Experience Team of the Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “By bringing our flat design to a wider range of laundry appliances, Samsung aims to deliver a consistent design experience that combines refined aesthetics with thoughtful usability.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Refined Flat Design Improves Interior Fit and Usability </h2>



<p>Samsung’s expansion of its signature flat design to the new washing machine lineup marks the latest evolution of the company’s design approach across its home appliance portfolio.</p>



<p>Compared to Samsung’s previous designs that featured more protruding front elements, the updated design offers a flat front surface with a more uniform appearance. This creates a cleaner, more sophisticated look that blends naturally into modern interiors and living environments.</p>



<p>Beyond aesthetics, the design also enhances everyday usability. The larger door with a wider opening angle enables easier access when loading and unloading laundry, making the task more convenient. More broadly, the new lineup and the showcase during IFA reflect Samsung’s continued efforts to expand refined design experiences to more consumers and living spaces.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Features Designed for Everyday Laundry Needs</h2>



<p>In addition to the redesigned exterior, the new lineup incorporates key laundry technologies previously available on select premium models, bringing advanced washing experiences to more consumers. To address growing consumer demand for faster wash cycles and more efficient laundry routines, the lineup features Bubble Shot<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, which sprays water throughout the drum. This helps reduce wash time while maintaining effective cleaning performance, <sup data-fn="de9e1b5c-15d5-4397-a967-ba3041d0cb06" class="fn"><a href="#de9e1b5c-15d5-4397-a967-ba3041d0cb06" id="de9e1b5c-15d5-4397-a967-ba3041d0cb06-link">2</a></sup> providing a more convenient laundry experience for users.</p>



<p>The lineup also comes with Ecobubble<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology, which allows detergent to dissolve more quickly and distribute more evenly across fabrics, helping users save energy while washing clothes effectively, even at low temperatures.<sup data-fn="ee0d0e28-bc55-4f4e-b6eb-2361fb5da031" class="fn"><a href="#ee0d0e28-bc55-4f4e-b6eb-2361fb5da031" id="ee0d0e28-bc55-4f4e-b6eb-2361fb5da031-link">3</a></sup></p>



<p>By combining a refined exterior with advanced laundry technologies, Samsung’s new washing machine lineup delivers a more intuitive laundry experience across diverse households. The company will continue to expand user-focused design approaches and technologies across its home appliance portfolio.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Exhibition Information</h2>



<p>Samsung is showcasing its latest innovations at Samsung Connect, which is being held at Humboldt Carré in Berlin from Sept. 2-6. The new washing machine lineup is on display, allowing visitors to see the products’ refreshed design ahead of their official launch.</p>
