Bodyfriend's Compact 'Famille' and 'Amigo'
Breville Gains Favor with Barista Pro
Since COVID-19, the keyword ‘home interior’ that captures both function and design has emerged, leading to an increase in consumers choosing design-specialized products. Harmony within living spaces has become an important purchasing factor. Companies are striving to win consumers’ hearts with ‘appliances that don’t feel like appliances.’
According to Bodyfriend on the 18th, the average monthly sales of massage sofas this year increased by 27% compared to the average monthly sales in the fourth quarter of last year. This is interpreted as the massage sofa, which breaks the prejudice that ‘massage chairs must be large,’ receiving great response from consumers. Bodyfriend’s ‘Famille’ and ‘Amigo,’ targeted at single-person households, are massage sofas designed in compact sizes to match consumer trends.
Famille features a Terra Brown color with a simple design. It is characterized by blending well with the original interior. With a manageable size of 70 cm in width and weighing 55 kg, it maximizes space utilization, making it suitable for use in personal spaces such as living rooms, bedrooms, or studies.
The sofa-type massage chair Amigo, which adds meticulous massage functions to reclining, is also gaining popularity. Despite its small size, it offers four massage programs focused on different areas: neck and shoulder mode, back and waist mode, full-body relax mode, and full-body cradle mode. It applies an ergonomic S&L frame to provide a close-fitting massage experience. Additionally, it is available in two colors to naturally blend with home environments, expanding consumer choices.
LG Electronics’ ‘Styler’ is a clothing care device that has revolutionized the way clothes are managed and perceived. It features customized care according to season and fabric. According to Intertek test results, the hygiene sterilization course removes 99.99% of 11 types of harmful bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli. The Styler Objet Collection allows consumers to directly combine various colors and materials. It can be selected according to lifestyle, maximizing interior effects.
As home cafes become popular, home coffee machines are also gaining attention as essential kitchen appliances. The Australian premium appliance brand Breville’s ‘Barista Pro BES878’ adjusts the optimal extraction temperature in just 3 seconds. It also offers 30 levels of precise grind control, allowing users to grind coffee beans according to personal preferences from espresso to drip. Breville, which won a global design award with the ‘Barista Pro,’ has newly introduced the ‘Sea Salt Collection’ applying a white tone to this product. It features a bright and radiant atmosphere and creates a relatively spacious visual effect.
