LG STUDIO Earns Architectural Digest's Coveted '2017 Great Design' AwardENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- LG STUDIO, the premium line of kitchen appliances from LG Electronics, has been recognized in the genius appliance category of the "2017 Architectural Digest Great Design Awards" for the Nate Berkus-inspired LG STUDIO built-in double wall oven. These prestigious awards underscore LG STUDIO's dual offering of advanced functionality and beautiful product design, along with LG's recognized leadership in reliability and customer satisfaction. "LG STUDIO appliances combine LG's advanced product innovations with truly outstanding design expertly created in collaboration with renowned interior designer Nate Berkus," said Dave VanderWaal, vice president of marketing, LG Electronics USA. "Being recognized for excellence in design by such a prestigious publication is both an honor and testament to LG STUDIO's ability to deliver kitchen appliances that offer consumers the best in form and function." The 2017 Architectural Digest's Great Design Awards highlight the top 150 products that truly embody best-in-class design, offering a unique curation for the audience of tastemakers, influencers and design enthusiasts. The winners were selected via the magazine's editorial team, who polled experts and scoured the market to bring home today's top appliances, surfaces, fixtures and more – all the ingredients for designing a cook space that's as efficient as it is eye-catching, and also reinforcing their saying of "good kitchens function, but dream kitchens perform." Renowned interior designer and LG STUDIO Artistic Advisor, Nate Berkus, advised on the design of the built-in wall oven, ensuring it embodies a premium, sophisticated appearance. His influence is reflected in the oven's pro-style design, robust metal knobs, flat-door design, traditional stainless steel finish and brilliant blue interior. "I love the brilliant blue interior of the oven, and the sleek aesthetic. But at the end of the day, if an appliance is not hard working then what's the point? LG STUDIO has managed to marry the very best in technological innovation, with high design. I'm a huge fan," said Berkus. Adding to the elevated design, the oven features sleek, functional SmoothTouch™ glass controls on the control panel. Today's home chefs will appreciate LG 4-Mode True Convection technology, which allows hot air to flow throughout the oven cavity to maximize heat distribution, pre-heat the oven faster and cook meals evenly on every rack. To maximize safety and ease of use, the LG Gliding Rack System glides out effortlessly and extends over the open oven door for easy access to food so that users can baste and take the temperature of foods from a safe distance. Cleanup is simple with LG's EasyClean® technology. The technology works in three simple steps: users simply spray water to the interio walls of the oven, start the EasyClean® function to allow the oven to heat up and after 10 quick minutes, the mess inside the wall can simply be wiped away*. The simplified process is a result of LG's innovative oven enamel technology, eliminating the need for chemicals or high heat to rid the oven of grime. LG home appliances continue to dominate in innovation, reliability and customer satisfaction. In the comprehensive 2017 J.D. Power Kitchen and Laundry Appliance Satisfaction Studies**, "LG has received more J.D. Power awards for Kitchen & Laundry Appliances than any other manufacturer."
