Samsung is rolling out its vision for AI-powered kitchens at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) 2026 in Orlando, Florida this week. The tech giant is showcasing its Bespoke AI lineup alongside Dacor, its premium built-in kitchen brand, featuring smart refrigerators with enhanced food recognition, voice-controlled appliances, and a new "hidden kitchen" design concept that blends high-end wine storage with connected home technology.
Samsung is making its case for AI-controlled kitchens this week at KBIS 2026, and the company's betting big on camera-equipped refrigerators that actually know what's inside them. The Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub takes center stage with its upgraded AI Vision feature, which Samsung says will soon recognize more food types than its current 37 fresh items and 50 pre-registered packaged goods.
"The kitchen is evolving into the center of home life, and Samsung continues to introduce intelligent solutions that organically connect appliances, services and everyday experiences," Sang Jik Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of the Sales and Marketing Team for Samsung's Digital Appliances Business, told attendees according to Samsung's announcement. The show runs through February 19 at Orlando's Orange County Convention Center.
But Samsung's play goes beyond smart fridges. The company's showcasing its Dacor premium brand with what it calls a "hidden kitchen" concept - appliances concealed within curved columns or furniture that disappear when not in use. It's a design philosophy aimed at luxury homeowners who want functionality without the visual clutter of traditional kitchen setups.
The Dacor lineup includes a 24-Inch Undercounter Wine Cellar, Wine Column, and a Built-in Wine Dispenser that stores four bottles with dual temperature zones for reds and whites. Touch controls let users select and pour specific amounts, which Samsung positions as part of a "premium wine culture" for modern homes. The company's pairing its 2025 LUXE RED Design Award-winning 24-Inch Dishwasher with refrigerators and cooktops in these concealed configurations.
