Samsung showcases Bespoke AI appliances and Dacor premium designs, highlighting intelligent kitchens at KBIS 2026 in Orlando.
Samsung Electronics is putting the future of the modern kitchen on display at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show 2026. The event is taking place in Orlando from February 17 to 19, bringing together the latest ideas in home design, technology, and appliances.
At this year’s show, Samsung is highlighting its Bespoke AI appliance range alongside Dacor, its premium built-in kitchen brand. The focus is on creating kitchens that are smarter, more connected, and designed to fit naturally into everyday life. From intelligent food management to elegant wine storage, Samsung’s goal is to redefine how people use and experience their kitchens.
The Kitchen as the Heart of the Home
Samsung believes the kitchen is no longer just a place to cook. It has become a central space where families gather, plan meals, and manage daily routines. According to Sang Jik Lee, Executive Vice President at Samsung Electronics, the company is focused on solutions that connect appliances, services, and user experiences naturally.
At KBIS 2026, Samsung is showing how thoughtful design and smart technology can work together. The emphasis is not only on advanced features but also on aesthetics, reliability, and ease of use. This approach is meant to support modern lifestyles without adding complexity.
Dacor and a New Take on Wine Storage
One of the highlights of Samsung’s exhibit is Dacor’s premium wine-focused lineup. A dedicated display wall features appliances designed specifically for wine lovers who value both performance and design. On display are the 24-inch undercounter wine cellar, a full-height wine column, and a built-in wine dispenser. The dispenser is designed to hold up to four bottles and includes dual temperature zones.
This allows red and white wines to be stored at their recommended temperatures at the same time. With a simple touch, users can select how much wine to pour, making it suitable for both everyday use and entertaining guests. These products reflect a growing interest in wine culture within the home, where proper storage and presentation are part of the overall living experience.
The Concept of the Hidden Kitchen
Dacor is also introducing what it calls the “hidden kitchen” concept. This design approach focuses on keeping appliances visually discreet when they are not in use. Refrigerators, cooktops, and dishwashers are integrated into curved columns or cabinetry so they blend seamlessly into the surrounding space.
The idea is to create kitchens that feel open and uncluttered, especially in homes where living areas flow together. Even with this clean look, functionality is not sacrificed. The hidden kitchen setup includes a full range of appliances, including Dacor’s award-winning 24-inch dishwasher, ensuring everyday tasks remain simple and efficient.
Connected Living with SmartThings
Dacor’s appliances, like many of Samsung’s products, support connectivity through SmartThings. This allows users to manage and monitor their appliances through a single connected ecosystem.
With SmartThings, homeowners can check appliance status, adjust settings, and receive notifications directly on their smartphones. This level of control helps users save time and better manage their household, whether they are at home or away.
Bespoke AI Brings Intelligence to the Kitchen
Another major attraction at Samsung’s booth is the Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub. This refrigerator features AI Vision technology, which uses built-in cameras to recognize food items stored inside. Users can quickly check what they have, keep track of ingredients, and reduce food waste.
The system already recognizes dozens of fresh and packaged food items, and Samsung plans to expand its capabilities over time. By improving recognition accuracy, the company aims to make grocery planning and meal preparation easier and more efficient.
Beyond refrigerators, Samsung is also showcasing a wide range of Bespoke AI appliances, including ovens, dishwashers, and even laundry products. All of these devices are designed to work together within the SmartThings ecosystem.
Voice Control and Everyday Convenience
To make interaction even more natural, Samsung integrates voice control through Bixby. With simple voice commands, users can ask for recipe suggestions based on the ingredients they have or receive step-by-step cooking guidance.
For example, someone standing in front of the refrigerator can request a recipe idea, and the system will respond with suitable options and instructions. This hands-free approach adds convenience, especially during busy cooking moments.
Focus on Reliability and Long-Term Support
Samsung understands that a connected home is only as strong as its reliability. At KBIS 2026, part of the exhibit is dedicated to showing how the company supports customers after purchase.
Samsung offers regular software updates to keep appliances running smoothly and securely. In addition, its Home Appliance Remote Management service allows for monitoring, diagnostics, and remote support. This service helps identify potential issues early and assists without the need for immediate in-home visits. By focusing on long-term performance and support, Samsung aims to build trust in its connected appliance ecosystem.
Where to Find Samsung at KBIS 2026
KBIS 2026 runs from February 17 to 19 at the Orange County Convention Center. Samsung’s exhibit is located in the West Hall at booth W2073.
With its blend of Bespoke AI technology and Dacor’s premium designs, Samsung is presenting a vision of the kitchen that is intelligent, elegant, and deeply connected to modern living.
