The Bauknecht PremiumCare washing machine combines design and technology. The design symmetry stands out due to the large porthole that improves the ergonomic access to its drum covered by its optical dark door glass. At the same time the touch user interface was also designed in a dark shade to create an optical balance through its central placement. The side panels are designed to absorb the sounds that are a left-over of the machine’s working mode. Inside the drum the structure gives a visual reference to the caring identity, due to the micro air cushions in the drumsurface and the caressing design of the lifters.
