Intuitive Usability
The front panel is thoughtfully divided into two distinct sections: the left for ice functions and the right for water functions, ensuring a clear and intuitive layout. With just a single touch, users can easily access clean drinking water at cold, hot, or room temperature, as well as pure ice. The design prioritizes simplicity and convenience, making operation effortless and intuitive.
Unique Surface Inspired by Water
Reflecting its function, the front surface and parting lines are designed to evoke the natural flow of water. A harmonious blend of dynamic curves and sleek straight lines creates a modern, distinctive aesthetic that highlights the product’s design while maintaining a clean, sophisticated look.
Design, Reminiscent of Clean Ice
The translucent panel, symbolizing pure ice, highlights the ice-making function while adding an elegant touch. With the clean ice-making system as the product's central feature, this design approach emphasizes its importance, creating a sleek and functional visual appeal.
Coway, the undisputed leader in the South Korean water purifier market with approximately 40% market share, introduced this flagship model, which sold over 100,000 units in its first year.
