In fact, it is so extravagant that it doesn't even look like a fridge whereas a Rolls-Royce can't disguise its distinctive 'car-ness.' Instead, it looks like a stunning cabinetry set. Behind those shuttered doors, Meneghini La Cambusa hides away a [gigantic fridge and freezer compartment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercounter-collection) as well as "a coffee maker, a fitted pantry or a double pantry, an ice-maker, a microwave oven, a steam oven and multi-function oven," according to Robeys, the refrigerator's manufacturer. Available in ash wood treated in three aniline colours (ebony effect, pomegranat and colonial), ash-dyed aged oak and lacquered ash in various Ral and Woodcolor Sayerlack colours, the Meneghini La Cambusa fridge would make a wondrous customizable addition to any [luxe kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-1). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Extravagant Kitchen Appliances:** The high-end refrigerator market offers opportunities for disruptive innovations in kitchen appliance design and functionality. - **Luxury Customization:** The trend of customizable luxury products extends to refrigerators, creating opportunities to disrupt the customization industry within the home appliances sector. - **Multi-functional Appliances:** The integration of various appliances into one unit, as seen in the Meneghini La Cambusa fridge, presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the home appliance industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchen Appliance Manufacturing:** The extravagant fridge market offers potential for disruptive innovation within the kitchen appliance manufacturing industry. - **Customization Services:** The luxury customization trend in home appliances creates disruptive innovation opportunities within the customization services industry. - **Home Appliance Retail:** The rise of multi-functional appliances provides opportunities for disruptive innovation within the home appliance retail sector. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Double-Door Refrigerators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-door-refrigerator.md) - [Queen-Commemorating Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-bespoke-jubilee-fridge.md) - [Organized 18-Zone Refrigerators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-mijia-refrigerator-pro.md) - [Celebratory Champagne-Branded Fridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-veuve-clicquot.md) - [Oversized Capacity Refrigerators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-mega-capacity-refrigerators.md) - [Built-In French Door Fridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/48inch-builtin.md) - [Premium Column Refrigerators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bespoke-infinite-line-refrigerator.md) - [Sleek Contemporary Smart Fridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-smart-fridge.md) - [Cabinet Drawer Wine Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dometic-drawbar.md)
