As living environments become more stressful, the demand for tranquility in private spaces increases, according to scientific publisher Frontiersin. The "The future of wellness 2025 trends" report by the Global Wellness Summit also indicates a rise in designs that minimize stimulation, prioritizing natural materials, neutral color palettes, and simplified details in a Nordic style. Living spaces are seen as emotionally balanced ecosystems, where every interior element and appliance aims to provide relaxation and stability for users.
Within the framework of Milan Design Week 2026, Electrolux's "The Swedish Home" space suggests a minimalist and sustainable approach to daily life. Instead of displaying individual products, the exhibit is designed as a synchronized system where appliances operate seamlessly, supporting daily routines.

For instance, the SaphirMatt induction hob, with its Nordic design and high durability, helps reduce visual distractions, creating a focused cooking experience. Additionally, the Timeless Collection of small home appliances, including products like air fryers, electric kettles, and coffee makers, uses neutral colors and minimalist designs, suiting various kitchen spaces.

From an experiential perspective, the solutions in "The Swedish Home" are developed to support daily habits, limiting unnecessary actions. "This approach aims to reduce intermediate steps, allowing household activities to flow seamlessly and maintain focus on the user experience", shared a brand representative.
Furthermore, the AI TasteAssist feature on oven ranges, integrated with a mobile application, allows converting online recipes into suitable temperature, time, and process settings. This reduces reliance on memory or manual operations during cooking, while also improving the accuracy and consistency of dishes.

The company is gradually implementing this direction in Vietnam through design and technology solutions suitable for urban living. In the coming period, Electrolux plans to introduce new kitchen product lines, aiming for a more convenient, tidy, and optimized user experience.
