LG’s booth is located at Stand R2S1 in Hall 5B now! Highlights of LG’s participation at Maison&Objet include:
Washing Machine Zone – As Clean and Green as Nature
LG has set its latest steam washing machines amidst a forest-like setting at Maison&Objet. LG’s steam washers are widely recognized as much for their energy- and water-efficiency as their washing performance. Moss, ferns, trees and enchanting artificial fireflies help reinforce these washers’ greenness. Some washers will be even redecorated with mirror mosaics to further emphasize this “back to nature” theme.
Kitchen Room Zone – A Party in the Garden
LG’s Kitchen Room Zone at Maison&Objet feels warm and lively, like in the middle of a garden. With casual dining experiences provided at the booth through cooking demonstrations, visitors will feel like they are having a party in their backyard on a clear, sunny day with close friends. People can also fully experience LG’s stylish kitchen products including built-in appliances, refrigerators and ovens.
Living Room Zone – Boudoir Style
LG has created a private resting place for its Living Room Zone. This living room can be a one-of-a-kind place for visitors as the room itself responds to their needs and conditions. The color and drape of the room, aroma inside the room and home cinema systems can all be perfectly controlled, right at their fingertips, through LG’s innovative home networking system. The ambiance of the room will give visitors the sense of being inside a lovely flower, or a private boudoir.
Air Conditioner Zone – Pure and Invigorating
In this zone, a set of five ArtCool air conditioners with changeable front panels will represent one single work of art by showing pieces of photos by internationally well-known wildlife photographers on their front panels: Antarctica by Mitsuaki Iwago and a winter tree by Shin Yoshino. Visitors will find themselves standing in a recreated snowy field, replete with walls completely covered with white faux fur, feeling like they are in very pure, untouched world.
Gateway - to the Ideal Home
Located at the threshold of LG’s booth, the Viewing Zone symbolizes a gateway to an ideal home made real by LG makes through the exhibition. With six LG6000 Scarlet TVs displaying coordinated visuals, visitors will have a glimpse into the rest of LG’s creative exhibition at Maison&Objet.
At the LG’s booth during Maison&Objet exhibition, a cooking demonstration will take place four times a day, offering special dishes cooked by a professional chef from Potel et Chabot using LG’s light wave SolarCUBE oven. In addition, LG will offer a trendy water bar and rest area for special guests, including visiting journalists, to further enhance the experience of enjoying a modern lifestyle with a sense of nature and peace of mind.
