Michelle one of our designers was recently brought to Slovenia to have a look around their factory. Gorenje seem to own everything there and even owned the hotel she stayed in! <br />They have some beautiful ranges, Pininfarina is a popular design here. The biggest issue they encountered here was getting the public to trust their brand when it wasn't well know. They solved this by giving a 5 year warranty on appliances. You should take a look at their new "SmarTable" it's a really cool table for bars, boardrooms etc.Keithhttp://www.woodaledesigns.ienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-24109094076469383302010-07-19T14:36:39.975-04:002010-07-19T14:36:39.975-04:00WOW!

I'm sure they'll end up on this side of the Atlantic eventually and I wonder how they'll survive the translation into American-style appliances.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-68206163226782512692010-07-19T11:46:24.424-04:002010-07-19T11:46:24.424-04:00Hey, what you see today is not necessarily what yo...Hey, what you see today is not necessarily what you’re going to see tomorrow. Gorenje is, as you pointed out, doing some wonderful things with their appliance designs. But in their hands these staid old products have become brand new. I have written a couple of blogs on them myself because I like what they’re doing. The cool thing about it, though, is that the world is most definitely shrinking. I’m in San Diego; you’re in Florida, I believe; and we’re commenting on products made in Europe. But more and more these days, these products are coming to the United States. My guess would be that we’re no more than two or three years away from Gorenje being introduced to the USA.Josephhttp://www.cft411.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-55522344152403617122010-07-19T10:11:30.920-04:002010-07-19T10:11:30.920-04:00*sigh*
