# Mirror Finish Fridges The Black Mirror Finish Gives Rocco's Smart Fridge a High-Gloss Exterior By Amy Duong | Published 2026-07-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-mirror-finish References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/laila-gohar-rocco-black-mirror-fridge/)  Black Mirror finish transforms [Rocco's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-smart-fridge) Super Smart Fridge through an 18-day [automotive finishing process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-x-smeg) that layers premium lacquer, ceramic coating, three-stage polishing, and a final wax treatment. Created in collaboration with food artist Laila Gohar, the limited-edition appliance features an ultra-reflective piano-black surface intended to resemble furniture rather than a conventional kitchen appliance. The design pairs the brand's flagship beverage refrigerator with Gohar's hosting-focused creative practice. The refrigerator features an ultra-quiet compressor, isolated temperature zones, and a custom rack system for different bottle sizes, while its deco-inspired half-bullnose profile and raised legs give it a furniture-like appearance. The collaboration also introduces a custom coupe glass designed by Laila and Nadia Gohar through [Gohar World](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gohar-world), with fluting that references the fridge's semi-translucent glass door. Campaign imagery reinforces the collection's mirrored theme through coordinated styling.
