Samsung is outlining its vision for a smarter, more connected kitchen at KBIS 2026 in Orlando. There, it’s showcasing its latest Bespoke AI appliances alongside premium built-in brand Dacor.
The focus this year is clear: connected ecosystems, AI-powered convenience, and a push toward what Samsung calls a more refined “premium wine culture.”
At the heart of the showcase is Dacor’s new wine-focused lineup, including a 24-inch undercounter wine cellar, a Wine Column, and a built-in Wine Dispenser capable of storing up to four bottles.
The dispenser features dual temperature zones for red and white wines. It allows users to dispense precise amounts at the touch of a button, positioning it less as a gadget and more as part of a broader luxury kitchen aesthetic.
Samsung is also leaning into the idea of a “hidden kitchen” — appliances designed to blend seamlessly into cabinetry or curved architectural features when not in use. The concept includes integrated refrigerators and cooktops, along with Dacor’s LUXE RED Design Award-winning 24-inch dishwasher. This combines minimalist design with SmartThings connectivity for remote control and monitoring.
On the AI side, Samsung is expanding its Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub, which features upgraded AI Vision technology. Using camera-based recognition, the fridge can identify items inside and help manage ingredient lists. The current system recognises up to 37 types of fresh food and 50 pre-registered processed items. However, Samsung says it’s working to broaden that range further.
SmartThings integration remains central to the experience, allowing users to monitor and control appliances from their phone. Bixby voice control adds another layer — for example, users can ask for recipe suggestions based on what’s already in the fridge. Guided cooking instructions are then provided directly.
Samsung is also highlighting reliability as a key pillar of its connected ecosystem. Through regular software updates and its Home Appliance Remote Management (HRM) service, users can receive remote diagnostics, monitoring and support after purchase.
Taken together, Samsung’s KBIS presence isn’t just about individual appliances. It’s about positioning the kitchen as an intelligent hub — one where design, automation and AI quietly work in the background rather than demanding attention.
