Stylist Amanda Cordony's 'kitchen of the future'

When interior stylist Amanda Cordony talks about her kitchen, she doesn't start with stone finishes or cabinetry colours. She starts with the moments that matter.

"Family meals are about connection," she says. "It's not just what's on the table, but the feeling around it — the laughter, the stories, the sense that everyone can relax and be themselves."

For Amanda, food isn't just nourishment, it's a way of bringing people closer. Which is why her kitchen has to do a lot more than just look good. It needs to help her create those moments with ease.

That's where the Hisense PureView French Door Fridge comes in — a future-focused appliance designed for families who want style and smarts. Think: a fridge that's logical, organised, efficient, eco-conscious and, yes… looks wow.

Where design meets intelligence

At first glance, the PureView looks like a statement piece: minimalist flat doors, brushed steel finish, cantilevered shelving, and soft lighting that wouldn't look out of place in a luxury showroom.

But walk toward it, and voila, the fridge lights up automatically with SenseLight technology, revealing what's inside without opening the door. No more multiple door opens, no more cold air escaping, no more telling the kids "it's not a library!" and no more wasted energy.

"We're reimagining what the modern fridge can do," says Kleanthis Mantzouranis, Brand Marketing Manager, Hisense Australia. "It's not just a place to store food, but a command centre for the home." With its intuitive touchscreen, voice control, and ConnectLife app, the PureView can track ingredients, help plan meals, provide recipes, and remind you what's about to expire. Smart? Yes. Stress saving? Absolutely. Tricky to use? Nope.

Amanda's berry clever fresh-food hacks (yes, your berries can last a week)

As someone who entertains regularly, Amanda knows that freshness matters, and waste is the enemy. "I love fresh, seasonal produce and simple flavours that let the ingredients shine," she says. One of the tips she shared at the Hisense launch event caused an audible gasp:

Berry preservation hack

Wash berries in a water + white vinegar bath, lay them on a tea towel to dry, then store in the fridge. Results?

•        stays fresh for a week
•        keeps them crisp
•        prevents mould

In the Hisense PureView French Door Fridge, this works even better. The fridge features:

• UV water treatment to keep ice and water fresh
• An antibacterial interior with a dark finish
• A My Fresh Choice drawer that converts from fridge to freezer.

All of which is designed to extend freshness of your family's food and reduce waste.

Smart storage = easier family life

"I prep veggies in advance — celery sticks, carrots, capsicum — and store them in containers," Amanda says. "It makes healthy snacking easy and keeps the fridge beautifully organised." Imagine…

With adjustable shelving and flexible compartments, the PureView makes this easy. No digging through mystery containers. No forgotten (smelly) produce at the back. Just visual and mental organisation.

Kleanthis adds: "The My Fresh Choice drawer can function as a fridge or freezer depending on what families need, especially when entertaining."

It adapts to family routines instead of demanding they adapt to the appliance. Hooray.

Energy efficiency that pays off

With cost-of-living pressures and climate change, energy efficiency isn't just "nice to have", it's a must-have. "The PureView keeps temperatures consistent, reduces spoilage, and helps lower energy bills."

Its innovative clear PureView Door allows families to see inside and pre-select what they need without opening the door, helping the fridge stay cooler and fresher for longer.

Meanwhile, features like the UV water treatment system and antibacterial guard liner extend food freshness and reduce waste.

Accessible premium = luxury that works hard

Amanda's design philosophy is simple: "Spaces should look beautiful, but live beautifully too." With the PureView, that balance works. "You get the minimalist aesthetic, but also clever storage, antibacterial interiors, and technology that genuinely makes daily life easier."

This luxury appliance combines sophistication with a welcoming approach to design.

"'Accessible premium' means innovation and elegant design at a price that makes sense," says Kleanthis. "It looks high-end, performs like a high-end appliance, but remains accessible."

The 'kitchen of the future': what to look for

Amanda breaks it down into three essentials:

Connection: appliances should simplify life and talk to each other

Intelligence: smart features should reduce effort, not add steps

Sustainability: less waste, lower bills, more freshness

"The PureView delivers on all three," she says. "It's innovation that genuinely makes life better."
