It’s the inside (of the fridge)
that counts
All our innovation is based on human needs. One of the largest needs of humankind is finding love. In a world of social media, polished pictures and perfect surfaces, it can be hard to find out who truly is “The One”. But there is one space in our homes to which the polish hasn’t reached. “You are what you eat”, that’s why Refrigerdating can help you find love based on the content in your fridge. It reveals more than you think.
Refrigerator types
Calorie cuts or cuddle?
Wholesome food and lots of exercise is on the top of many wishlists. So a fridge filled with protein shakes and sliced turkey could be a real winner. A healthy lifestyle filled with fresh winds and rosy cheeks or laying on the sofa, gobbling down pralines with your loved one? Think about your priorities and what would make you happy. A mix of both might be the path to true balance?
Being vain when it comes to your body suggests vanity when it comes to your home as well. Our refrigerators offer a slimmed design, to match with muscle definition.
Hooked on brands
A lot of fine ingredients. This person gazes at food the way you want him or her to gaze at you. The choice of brands that your date makes, reveals a lot about who he or she wants to be. If you recognize the preferences, you might be aiming for the same lifestyle. But “I say tomato, you say tomato”, it’s totally possible to keep separate bottles of ketchup if you can’t agree.
He or she who loves food wouldn’t want to see it go to waste. All-Around-Cooling keeps the food fresh long enough for those who wish to experiment with fusion- versions of the entire weekly meal plan.
Order or obsession?
Ohlala, look at those straight lines, the order here is as sharp as a kitchen knife. This is the home of a pedant.
If you like neatly packed lunch boxes and cheese that doesn’t look like a skiing slope, this is a date for you. But if you harbour even the slightest of rebellion, this might be a bit of a challenge, even if you can make out a healthy element this orderly person’s life. The upside of order is that you always know what to expect.
Adjustable shelves and door bins makes it possible to tailor fit your fridge at home. Good for those who are very meticulous about having things in a certain order.
Running from adulthood?
Sugar, sugar, sugar in all its forms. Is this the home of a child? Or just someone who is enjoying the freedom of deciding over one’s own fridge. There’s not much home cooked food to be seen here. Pre-made food can originate from different things, you’re either facing someone with a total lack of food interest, or a case of juvenile taste buds.
Switch the soda for sparkling water straight out of the fridge door on our Side by Side refrigerators. Those longing for something sweet can always add a little syrup.
Chaos or Crammed?
A chaotic fridge can be a sign of a chaotic soul. But it could also signal that your date has a lot of fun stuff going on, leaving little time or thought for fridge cleaning. If you can live with a little disarray it may bring some spontaneous and fun experiences along the way. And some of the mess may be solved with a bigger fridge?!
Those with a crammed head might need a little help with the shopping list, the cameras inside the Family Hub
allows checking what’s actually in the fridge through your smartphone, all the way from the store.
Ready to mingle?
The fine wine on cooling, “just in case”, means that your date likes to invite friends over for spontaneous gatherings. Lemons, olives, tonic and tapenade suggests that we are in a home that’s always ready for entertaining guests in style. This is no dating material for a loner, unless you are up for challenging your inner hermit.
Cool your beverages with Power Cool. Metal Cooling keeps an even temperature no matter the amount of thirsty guests opening the fridge to help themselves.
Above eating or important meeting?
Hoho, this fridge echoes of emptiness. The person living here doesn’t seem to have the same need for nourishment as the rest of us. Why is that? Work stress, cooking phobia or pleasure seeking at a high level? If you like to be the boss there is a huge advantage of moving in with a person like this, cause you’re going to be the one who fills the fridge.
Our Side by Side refrigerators are spacious enough to store all the food that you dream of cooking or to let your date cook for you.

Samsung - For kitchen lovers
Home is where we build our relationships and make them thrive. We fight, we make up, we get together, decide to move in or even start a family. A large part of our lives unfold in our homes, especially in the heart of them: our kitchens.
At Samsung, we strive to simplify people’s everyday lives. Our way to do that is by using smart and innovative technology to create home appliances. In some way that also means facilitating people’s relationships. We’re no couples therapists but if we can improve the flow in your kitchen, you can focus on finding it amongst each other.
The fact that love changes over time isn’t big news. We’ve all felt it. The blushing silence over the dinner table on the first date and, a few years later, the frosty dito on a grey december morning. It isn’t just you, it’s human nature. And as a matter of fact there are some fascinating theories about the different phases of a relationship. When looking into them we realized that the changes in love often show in our kitchen habits.
There are obstacles in every kitchen and there are struggles in every relationship. We will do what’s in our power to help you overcome the obstacles, hopefully making it a little bit easier for you to let go of some of the struggles.
My aim is to guide my clients toward the insight that a relationship changes over time, through different phases. Once you’ve reached that insight you have a choice, to accept things as they are, or to work for change

The phases of a relationship
Phase 1:
Blinded by love (Romance)
You’ve just met. The walks to the first couple of dates are made with shivering knees and an inner voice trying to lower your sky-high expectations. As soon as you get there though, everything is seen through a hazy shade of pink. Especially your new soulmate. Weaknesses - no, imperfections - no, differences - nope, nope, nope.
Since both of you will look for the best in each other and project your picture of a perfect partner on the other, this period often lacks dramatic fights. However the longing to be loved back, and the fear to be the one who wants more, can lead to a lot of struggle within.
Samsung Love Hack: In this phase your appetite for love is larger than the one for food. The small top compartment in your Dual Cook prepares your snacks in a jiffy. Allowing you to stay in your bubble.

Phase 2:
Love hangover (Power struggle)
What is that sound from the other side of the table, is that your partner chewing? And who decided that hot food is a big no-no in this kitchen? The hazy days are gone and you start to see the little things that differ between you and your partner…and then you see the big things, and then - you panic!
As we go through the harsh awakening between the first romance and the second stage of a relationship, it’s easy to lose proportions. For those who hang in there and take the time to discuss these new feelings and compromise, this stage is an important step in finding a common foundation to build the rest of the relationship on.
Samsung Love Hack: Some fights are just not worth it. Don’t start a quarrel about the dishes. And if you desperately need to keep track of your partners refrigerator habits, the camera inside your Family Hub, allows you to connect through your smartphone and check if your macarons have been left untouched. If not, don’t nag about it. Just buy some new ones as you pass the bakery on your way home.

Phase 3:
When two become two (Stability)
You've reached the bliss of acceptance, and realised that you can be together and still be individuals. You’ve learned to accept some of your partner’s less flattering sides and in return you’ve tried to turn your most eccentric sides down a notch. When you think about it - it’s quite nice to be with someone who’s not completely like you. Adds a little flavour.
Samsung Love Hack: With Dual Cook it’s easy to fulfill the needs and wants of two different tastes, cook one meal each, simultaneously, and enjoy them together.

Phase 4:
Imperfect is just fine (Commitment)
Perfection is no longer focus, you now know both the strengths and weaknesses of the person in front of you, and you also know that the greatest strength is, that your partner will be there for you. Since you’ve both committed to the relationship, this is the time when the guard is lowered and the vulnerability of saying “I need you”, takes its place. By now the question is not “Will you love me?” it’s rather ”Where do we want this love to take us?” What is the next step: move in together, buy a house, get married or sail across the Atlantic?
Samsung Love Hack: Let your loved one see that you care for him/her, leave an endearing message using the Family Hub fridge door screen to brighten their day. You know what your loved one loves. Use the Family Hub to surprise your partner by playing his or her favorite guilty pleasure song. Or why not serve a simple one-tray-oven dinner, now that you no longer feel the urge to impress each other with exclusive slow cooking?

Phase 5:
True Team (Co-creation)
Just as everything has fallen into place, you might just feel like starting a new project. Like redecorating the house or raising a child. Or some other common project that can work like putty for your relationship. As you spend your attention on your common project, it’s easy to lose that loving feeling and end up acting more like work companions. For those who stay aware of the need to find moments for romance, this can be a peaceful state of love.

Remind each other of what brought you together and your common goals: Family Hub lets you display the heart of your relationship, in the heart of your home. No more falling out (barely) sticky notes - images can be sent directly to the screen on fridge’s door.
