The utter protagonists of the event will be the solutions from two of the most strategic pan-European brands – Candy and Haier – which have always interpreted the visions and habits of people, anticipating market trends.
CANDY: READY TO REVEAL
EuroCucina 2024 is the perfect stage to reveal the revolution of Candy, a brand with a rich Italian heritage but with an international scope. A new image and identity start from the redesigned logo, elegant, effective, and impactful, conveying the distinctive characteristics of the brand. The new range makes accessible products of the highest quality, with unmistakable Italian style and offering smart and efficient technological solutions that support everyday life.
The space dedicated to Candy allows people to experience the innovative journey undertaken by the brand, not only by discovering new solutions, but also by immersing the visitors in areas dedicated to product testing and connectivity – a distinctive feature of the entire Group – while amazing them with activations and surprises such as the show cooking by Michelin-starred chef Cristiano Tomei.
Candy proposals are characterized by increasingly innovative technological systems that, thanks to the integration with the hOn app, reach the highest levels of practicality and adaptability. All designed to pursue a single goal: simplify daily challenges, allowing consumers to engage themselves in their passions and their interests without worries: a “ready to live” approach.
The “ready to cook” concept guides the full-touch oven range in energy class A++, equipped with advanced functions such as No Preheat technology, which allows the cooking cycle to start without preheating to save time and energy, and FullMenu, which allows to simultaneous cook a complete menu thanks to six different levels in the cavity. A brand-new component for the brand is the built-in hobs with integrated hood, which complete the range demonstrating attention to every detail and commitment to sustainability.
Candy’s new range of “ready to cool” refrigerators up to class A features the integration of state-of-the-art food preservation technologies and a variety of solution sizes, which guarantee maximum internal capacity, for every interior design need.
The “ready to wash” philosophy, represented by built-in class A dishwashers, translates into large load capacity thanks to the Maxi Tub, the largest on the market, and a wash and dry program of just 35 minutes – another distinctive feature of the brand that meets every need. Not only that, for the first time at EuroCucina, Candy is presenting the new built-in washing machine in class A-10, connected and efficient, equipped with a world of app-activated functions designed to achieve the highest levels of energy savings.
