Seoul--(뉴스와이어)--LG Electronics (LG), the world’s leading air conditioner brand, has introduced the world’s first picture-frame air conditioners as part of its new ARTCOOL range. Consumers can insert their family picture, their children’s drawing or any type of printed image under the transparent front panel and enjoy the cool or warm air flowing from the back of the frame. They can also change the image any time they want by simply opening the panel and replacing the picture.

ARTCOOL is LG’s high-end, design-oriented air conditioner series that was designed to include renditions of classic art pieces by famous painters such as Van Gogh, Sisley and Matisse, pioneering the transformation of household white goods into objects d'art. ARTCOOL also initiated the new trend in air conditioner design by applying versatile colors on air conditioners, a traditional ‘white good’.

Mr. Yong Jin Khang, the head of air conditioning overseas marketing at LG Electronics Digital Appliance Company said: “In line with our leadership position in appliance design innovation, we are now inviting customers to design their own air conditioner panel. This is a creative approach that equips customers to put their own personal taste and style above everything else.”

Other new ARTCOOL models introduce eye-catching new colors. After a project jointly driven by two design centers from different sides of the world, Milan and Seoul, LG has created sophisticated antique-style shades including ‘Oriental Gold’, ‘Classic Brown’, ‘Ethnic Blue’ and ‘Ethnic Red’. Incorporating traditional design elements from the two centers, the new colors represent the blending of the east and west.

The new models are equipped with the ‘Neo Plasma Plus Air Purifying System’, an 11 level bio-enzyme filter system that further enhances the sterilization feature of air conditioners and provides a healthier living environment.

In addition, it showcased world’s first Swarovski ARTCOOL in Korea decorated with crystals from the world-renowned crystal manufacturer Swarovski.
