FLEXWASH + FLEXDRY BY SAMSUNG
ELECTRONICS

The FlexWash Washer can run two separate loads
simultaneously with different settings and options
to clean different types of clothes at the same time.
A large-capacity 4.5-cu.-ft. front-loading washer
means fewer loads and time savings, while the
1.0-cu.-ft. top-loading washer lets the user conveniently wash smaller loads. Similarly, the FlexDry
Dryer combines a conventional large-capacity dryer with a delicate dryer so the user can dry delicates
and everyday garments at the same time.Advanced
features like Multi-Steam Technology give homeowners the ability to steam away wrinkles.

Featuring sleek lines and a minimalist design, the
Grid Faucet is a testament to the De Stijl Dutch
artist movement. This tribute recognizes the cultural shift from elaborate decoration to using the
principles of abstraction to create works of art.The
spout's unusual outline form and discreet waterways are created using 3-D printing technology, a
first for the company's product portfolio.
