Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 3 October 2024 – Toshiba proudly announces the launch of the Japandi series, headlining the debut of its new Japandi Fridge – which reflects a strategic business move for the Toshiba brand to meet emerging Malaysian market trends for aesthetics and functional modern home living, further solidifying the brand’s leadership in the home appliance market.

The Japandi Fridge embodies the concept of the “Artistry of Harmony”, blending timeless design with innovative technology – catering to those who believe that “less is more”, embracing minimalism and simplicity in every detail. The fusion of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian elegance brings a warm, harmonious touch to any kitchen or home setting, with soft, natural textures and recessed walnut handles enhancing the aesthetic.

Appealing to today’s affluent urban professionals including individuals managing both careers and families, it is apt for consumers seeking solutions that not only simplify their day-to-day routines but also reflect a shift in mindset toward quality, elegance, and functionality in their homes. This evolution underscores a desire for products that seamlessly blend practicality with premium aesthetics, allowing for a well-balanced, efficient lifestyle.

The Toshiba Japandi Fridge series, with its emphasis on simplicity, elegance, and coziness, perfectly aligns with this demand. The innovative SeamlessFit slot-in design optimizes kitchen and living space, allowing for perfect integration into modern lifestyles.

Behind its sleek exterior, the Japandi Fridge is designed with ultimate convenience in mind, incorporating innovative technologies that preserve food at optimal freshness. Equipped with OriginFresh, the Japandi series provides exclusive preservation technology for meat and fish. The -1°C Pro Aging Technology ensures that ingredients are kept at the ideal temperature to enhance the flavor and texture of food, while the Soft-Freeze Mode of -3°C maintains ingredients in a slightly frozen state, preserving their texture and quality for longer. Additionally, the Deep Freeze function, which freezes food quickly at -30°C, locks in both freshness and nutritional value. Meanwhile, Toshiba’s HydroFresh technology keeps fruit and vegetables nutritious and juicy, while the PureAIR system eliminates 99% of bacteria, viruses, and ethylene, providing 24-hour strong protection. For modern households seeking efficiency, the fridge also features an industry-leading 60-Minute Quick Ice Making option, ensuring it keeps up with busy lifestyles—all while maintaining a sophisticated, effortless aesthetic.
