LG Electronics (LG) has been awarded the coveted Compasso d’Oro International Award for the refrigerator design of the company’s dual door-in-door refrigerators.
 The company took home the top prize in the Design Food Preparation and Instruments category, a statement from the company said at the weekend.
As the oldest and most recognised award of its kind in Europe, the Compasso d’Oro (“Golden Compass”) was established in 1954 to celebrate the products that were made in Italy. Hosted exclusively by Associazione per il Disegno Industriale (ADI), the theme for this year’s award was Design for Food and Nutrition.
The 2015 competition was the first time the award was open to competitors from outside Italy, making LG among the first foreign winners of Compasso d’Oro International. Entries were evaluated on three criteria: Innovation, Communicative Quality and Sustainability.
Commenting on the award, the general manager, Home Appliances Division, LG Electronics, West Africa Operations, Mr. Hyunwoo Jung said: “We are delighted to receive this international recognition for the dual door-in-door refrigerator. Powered by LG’s Inverter Linear Compressor, the dual door-in-door makes use of LG’s award-winning door-inside-refrigerator-door concept, doubling convenience over its single door-in-door counterparts.
“This energy-efficient product is primed to be a durable, long-lasting addition to any kitchen.”
