LG Electronics (LG) showcased its cutting-edge home appliances and related core technologies at the Appliance & Electronics World Expo (AWE) 2024, which took place in Shanghai, China, from March 14-17. In collaboration with Jingdong (JD), one of China's biggest e-commerce companies, LG presented a range of premium home appliances that local consumers can purchase through JD's online store. They also hosted a live broadcast session on the opening day of the Expo.
Under the theme of 'Upgrade Your Lifestyle with LG,' the company introduced the upgraded home lifestyle made possible by the company's innovative appliances. The expansive exhibit included the LG x JD Alliance zone, LG Innovation Tech zone, Upgrade Your Lifestyle zone, as well as the LG ThinQ™ Home, MoodUP™ Bridge, Air Solution Lounge, and the Laundry Solution & Trendy Kitchen zone.
LG x JD Alliance zone highlighted the groundbreaking appliances that were available on JD, along with the advanced technologies that helped LG become a major player in the global home appliance market. On day one of AWE, LG and JD teamed up for live broadcasts showcasing home solutions, such as the latest WashTower™, LG Styler™, InstaView™ refrigerators, air conditioners, 77-inch and 83-inch OLED TVs.
In the Upgrade Your Lifestyle zone, LG illustrated its harmonious 'Fix & Max' concept, with home appliances seamlessly integrated into realistic and stylishly appointed kitchen, study, and living room environments. Visitors could also see for themselves how the company's stunning home appliances realized the vision of making a better life at home by curating a residential space with home appliances products, lifestyle screen products, and IT products, including the kitchen, living room, home office, dressing room, and balcony.
The LG ThinQ Home zone showed off the smart yet elegantly simple home appliance management experience enabled by the revolutionary LG ThinQ UP.
