KARACHI / SEOUL, April 02, 2012 – Fourteen of LG
Electronics’ (LG) 2012 products were recognized by the red dot design awards
for their excellence in the field of design. A panel of 30 independent judges
considered over 4,500 products from 1,800 manufacturers and designers in nearly
60 countries. In all, LG took 12 red dot design awards as well as two honorable
mentions.
LG’s success at the 2012 red dot design awards
follows the 14 awards the company received among the 2,923 competing entries at
the iF (International Forum) design award earlier in the year. LG Optimus 2.0, an Android-based smartphone interface, was recognized
for its unique user interface design. LG was also recognized for being
environmentally responsible in designing the MACHJET printer’s packaging using
pulp molded recycling buffer material.
“LG’s philosophy is that every LG product
incorporates user experience in its design,”
said Kun-pyo Lee, head of Corporate Design at LG Electronics. “Our
ultimate philosophy to incorporate designs that work but also evoke some
emotional response.”
Several of the key products recognized at the
2012 red dot design award include:
LM9600: CINEMA 3D Smart TV
The LM9600 leads LG’s new CINEMA 3D Smart TV
line-up for 2012. Alongside its new 3D technology and enhanced Smart TV
function, the LM9600 also features LG’s CINEMA SCREEN Design. With a barely
visible bezel, the LG9600 offers a 3D viewing experience that is reminiscent of
a large-screen movie theater. The barely visible bezel completes the
sophisticated design of the new CINEMA 3D Smart TVs which complement even the
most elegant of interior décors.
Magic Remote
LG’s new Magic Remote brings user convenience
through its innovative control modes as well as ergonomic design. The smooth,
curved shape accommodates the viewer’s grip, while its new control modes --
Voice, Wheel, Pointing and Gesture -- have replaced conventional push buttons
with a set of modish controls that are intuitive and extremely user-friendly.
LG Styler
The Styler clothing care management solution
boasts a modern, elegant finish that complements the interior décor of any
bedroom, walk-in closet or laundry room. Consistent with the Styler’s premium
design, controls are displayed on a front touch panel, illuminated by soft,
gentle lighting. The Styler uses steam cycles to reduce everyday wrinkles and
unpleasant odors. It also keeps clothes neat and fresh, using a selection of
scents that can be subtly infused into the stored clothing items. The Styler is
the ultimate solution for maintaining one’s wardrobe with a professional touch.
Bottom Freezer Refrigerator for EU Market
LG’s seamless, modern and sleek bottom freezer (model
number: GB5240AVAZ) is equipped with maximum capacity and Slim Water Dispenser
for great looks and convenience. Incorporating Zero Clearance design, the
refrigerator doors can be opened up to 90 degrees without bumping into the
wall. The new bottom freezer is also highly energy efficient with a rating of
A++, largely due to its Linear Compressor technology.
