<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced that it is expanding its flat design, previously available on select premium models, to its new 24-inch front-load washer line-up. The new models are currently on display at Samsung Connect, Samsung’s exhibition being held during Innovation For All (IFA) 2026 from 02 – 06 Sept; offering visitors an early look ahead of the official launch.<sup data-fn="66ea2bb1-d38f-4a29-a139-b8c0c5a28de4" class="fn"><a href="#66ea2bb1-d38f-4a29-a139-b8c0c5a28de4" id="66ea2bb1-d38f-4a29-a139-b8c0c5a28de4-link">1</a></sup></p>



<p>“Customers around the world increasingly expect home appliances to harmonise with their living environments,” said 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"><strong>Refined Flat Design Improves Interior Fit & Usability</strong></h2>



<p>Samsung’s expansion of its signature flat design to the new 24-inch front-load washer line-up marks the latest evolution of the company’s design approach across its home appliance portfolio. 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 large door with a wide opening angle enables easier access when loading and unloading laundry, making the task more convenient. More broadly, the new line-up 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"><strong>Features Designed for Everyday Laundry Needs</strong><strong></strong></h2>



<p>In addition to the redesigned exterior, the new line-up incorporates key laundry technologies previously available on select premium models, bringing advanced washing experiences to more consumers. The line-up 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;" />, soaks the laundry by spraying water on it. This helps reduce wash time while maintaining effective cleaning performance,<sup data-fn="d2c762d6-dad1-4212-b5a9-07abafd7afa3" class="fn"><a href="#d2c762d6-dad1-4212-b5a9-07abafd7afa3" id="d2c762d6-dad1-4212-b5a9-07abafd7afa3-link">2</a></sup>providing a more convenient laundry experience for users.</p>



<p>The line-up 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="a9b1d4bb-c927-4077-a37f-157d8d4eab82" class="fn"><a href="#a9b1d4bb-c927-4077-a37f-157d8d4eab82" id="a9b1d4bb-c927-4077-a37f-157d8d4eab82-link">3</a></sup>By combining a refined exterior with advanced laundry technologies, Samsung’s new 24-inch washer line-up 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.<strong><br></strong></p>



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



<p>Samsung is showcasing its latest innovations at Samsung Connect, which is being held at Humboldt Carré in Berlin from Sept 02 – 06. The new 24-inch washer line-up is currently on display, allowing visitors to see the products’ refreshed design ahead of their official launch.</p>
