The Bespoke AI Refrigerator blends quietly into its surroundings, but its intelligence is always working behind the scenes. At the heart of it is a 9-inch AI Home screen that anchors your connected space, letting you manage devices, track energy use, and access everyday essentials like calendars and reminders – all from the kitchen.
Features like Daily Board, Map View and AI Energy Mode are designed to simplify life. Whether you’re checking what’s inside or adjusting your home’s settings, the experience is meant to be considered and intuitive. It’s a fridge designed to keep pace with the way real homes work now.
Built for ease, the Bespoke AI Top Load Washer turns everyday laundry into a smarter, quieter routine. AI Wash technology automatically detects fabric type and load size, adjusting settings for the best results. Vibration Reduction Technology Plus keeps things stable, even in high-spin cycles, while AI Energy Mode helps track and reduce consumption over time.
What sets it apart is how little you have to think about it. From intuitive controls to learning your preferences, it adapts to your habits so laundry becomes one less thing to manage. Clean, quiet, and considered – it’s a washer that fits seamlessly into the rhythm of modern living.
In celebration of 40 years of Scandinavian design sensibility and craftsmanship, IKEA has launched the 8th edition of the STOCKHOLM collection – it’s largest yet. This 2025 release brings together timeless forms, honest materials, and meticulous attention to detail in a wide-ranging selection of furniture, lighting, textiles, and accessories. Materials take centre stage, with solid wood, handwoven wool, mouth-blown glass, and linen brought together in tactile harmony. Each piece is crafted to age beautifully and tell a story over time.
With the Paradiso collection, Commune channels the sun-drenched ease of the Mediterranean, blending warm, expressive materials with a refined sensibility. The pieces carry a lived-in elegance – fluted textures, sculptural silhouettes, and rich finishes that bring depth and softness to modern spaces.
There’s a thoughtful restraint at play. Ribbed details and gentle curves offer a subtle nod to retro design, while the palette – sage greens, amber woods, and natural tones – keeps everything grounded and versatile. Paradiso doesn’t try to transport you elsewhere; instead, it invites a slower, more tactile way of living.
At first glance, the Hegen 3-Way Stool is simple – even unassuming. But its strength lies in that very simplicity: a form refined down to its most essential gestures, then rebuilt with care, adaptability, and intention. A collaboration between Commune and award-winning baby brand Hegen, this piece moves effortlessly between nursery and living space, functioning as a child seat, stool and side table. It’s a smart, adaptable piece that speaks to the realities of home life, without skimping on design.
