Gold Award Recognizes Design That Offers Customized Experiences for Different Lifestyles
 
The Bespoke Infinite Line is a premium built-in look refrigerator that is available in a choice of fridge, freezer or wine cellar models and features a timelessly contemporary modular design that seamlessly blends into any interior[2]. With simple lines, high-quality natural materials and features that maximize convenience and streamline food storage, the Bespoke Infinite Line adds lasting value to consumers’ kitchens.
 
The refrigerator’s exterior is made from premium aluminum that is more dent- and scratch-resistant and allows marks and stains to be easily wiped away. The interior is bright and refined with its Black Metal Cooling and Tunnel Lighting — two features that epitomize the refrigerator’s elegant balance of form and function.
