See everything clearly with this elegant solution that maximizes refrigeration storage and convenience. 

By Dianne M. Pogoda

Liebherr, a global pioneer in advanced refrigeration technology, has introduced in one of its residential column refrigerators a game-changing new storage system: the OpenStage drawer system.

OpenStage is a combination of precision engineering and extraordinary design, setting new standards in functionality and aesthetics. The drawers’ market-style presentation is inspired by the elegance of delicatessen display cases, providing a clear view of everything in the refrigerator at a glance.

Food is easily viewable and accessible in the fully telescopic drawers, ensuring that nothing gets lost in the back of the unit and is always within reach, minimizing food waste. Food and beverage storage is practical, with different drawer heights making it easy to store containers of different sizes, while high-quality railings create stable storage for tall bottles in the lower drawer. Each drawer may be pulled out smoothly, making the system exceptionally easy to use. Drawers also feature a gentle self-closing mechanism, adding to the convenience. And thanks to the low railing, even contents in the top drawer are easily reached.

The fully integrated refrigerator column that’s equipped with the OpenStage drawer system is Wi-Fi enabled and features the exclusive BioFresh cooling system that ensures optimum freshness and food preservation with exacting temperature and humidity control. BioFresh drawers may be adjusted for specific categories of food: just above 32˚F and more humid for fruits and vegetables, and less humid for meats and dairy. 

Meanwhile, the FlexSystem includes two position-adjustable boxes in the BioFresh safe to ensure that small and delicate fruits or other foods won’t be crushed or bruised, and it also keeps them visible and organized. 

Ambient all-round lighting is flush-mounted in the side walls, illuminating the full refrigerator and maximizing space for food. The interior features stainless SmartSteel panels lining the back and door interior. SmartSteel is food-safe and hygienic, and it also reduces the visibility of fingerprints, maintaining a sleek, clean appearance. This SmartSteel design and the black high-gloss fan create a pleasing aesthetic in the refrigerator. The intuitive digital control pad allows the homeowner to adjust the cooling and humidity easily, and it constantly displays the interior temperature.
