Global technology innovator LG Electronics introduces its latest state-of-the-art InstaView Door-in-DoorTM Refrigerator to the Philippine market.
The newest addition to the company’s line of user-centric, innovative, and eco-friendly home appliances, the LG InstaView Door-in-DoorTM is sure to transform the way users interact with refrigerators.
While conventional refrigerators often sport ordinary doors with ice dispensers, LG’s InstaView Door-in-DoorTM (DID) stands out for its 33-inch sleek black glass panel and its revolutionary knock-on feature which illuminates the panel when knocked on twice.
This allows users to see inside the easy-access compartment without having to open the door and waste cold air. This distinct feature of the InstaView DID reduces cold air loss by up to 41 percent and hence keeps food and drinks fresher for longer.
Apart from the knock-on feature, the InstaView DID features a spacious compartment that allows users to easily store and access frequently consumed snacks and beverages.
The InstaView DID can be easily installed anywhere in the home with LG’s high-grade non-plumbing water and metallic ice dispensing system. The streamlined large capacity water tank is located in the refrigerator’s main compartment, making it easy for users to place water directly in the tank.
The unit also employs the door-mounted SpaceplusTM Ice System that produce ready-to-use ice, a Full Wine Rack, and a Utility Box which keeps small food items such as cheese, deli, and other products fresh.
Inside, the InstaView Door-in-DoorTM is equipped with Hygiene Fresh+TM that eliminates potentially contaminated air, unpleasant odors and 99.999 percent of bacteria.
In the fresh food compartment, the Moist Balance CrisperTM maintains peak moisture levels while the innovative FRESH BalancerTM optimizes humidity by sealing the vegetable box. Users are guaranteed with clean and fresh fruits and vegetables with the simple click of a switch.
The unit is fully compatible with LG’s SmartThinQTM that lets you set the refrigerator temperature, control Express Freeze and Hygiene Fresh+TM operations, and diagnose your unit – all through the use of your smart phone – even when you’re far from home.
The InstaView Door-in-DoorTM is powered by the unique Inverter Linear Compressor, an efficient engineering mechanism that provides up to 32 percent lower energy consumption and 25 percent less noise, all while providing greater reliability and durability. It can operate without complications for up to 20 years as reviewed by the German institute, VDE, making the InstaView Door-in-DoorTM a truly future-proof product.
Behind LG Electronics’ drive for innovation is its persistent and continued commitment to sustainability as a core value. With its Inverter Linear Compressor, Door-in-Door feature, Moist Balance CrisperTM and Fresh BalancerTM, the InstaView Door-in-DoorTM is undeniably an admirable addition to LG Electronics’ line of home appliances that save energy, reduce ecological footprints, and consequently deliver a positive environmental impact.

They say every great meal takes you on a journey to a new destination. In many ways, this is true for the patrons of Epilogue, the newly opened Fine Bistro at S Maison. It takes every diner on a culinary experience that highlights the best of global travel cuisine.
Epilogue is a concept rooted in kodawari, the Japanese dedication to craft and mastery. The brand collaborated with several experienced chefs who all practice kodawari and have trained extensively in different parts of the world to become masters in their chosen culinary specialty.
The brand, which takes its name after the conclusive chapter of a book, stays true to the meaning of an epilogue. It is the platform where every one of the Japanese chefs showcases the culmination of his culinary journey.
Each chef is a master of his own craft, and they all work together to complete Epilogue’s thoughtfully curated menu.
Chef Tomohide Ono

The Denim Style Guide
SM Woman’s Denim Style Guide #denimforeverywoman
Athleisure
Your pair of SM Woman Hyperform denim is so flexible that you can wear it to the office and to your work-out after. Go smart office casual with it in a white tank top and blazer then switch it up in just the tank top as you make a quick session at the gym, for yoga, dancing, or running, after work.
The SM Woman Hyperform denim, which ranges from skinny, relaxed fit to jeggings, allows the body to move naturally or for big-time activities. Its shapewear also flattens the tummy, slims the thighs and contours the backside.
Meanwhile, try the double denim ensemble with the Power Stretch for an ultra stylish daytime to nighttime look. Even if it’s newly washed or newly purchased, you don’t need to break it in as its 4-way stretch allows jeans to snap back in shape wear after wear.
Comfort chic
Who says comfort means sacrificing style? Throw in an oversized shirt with the Cool Smart to save yourself from turning into a puddle of sweat amid the Philippine heat; the Knit Denim for maximum comfort with its soft and luxe feel of knit wear or the Soft Denim which gives the illusion of worn-in denim but with a nice soft feel.
Wonder jeans
Women of various body types can find the perfect pair of jeans in Wonderfit. This super stretch jeans can fit sizes 25-35 as it stretches to fit multiple sizes making it comfortable when worn by a full figure or a slender figure. Its highly elastic fabric content makes it go back to its original size and shape after worn/washed.
Fashion denims
Finally, from stepped hem to raw edges and fringes, to wide leg and extra long cuffs, women can sport the latest denim trends with the Trendy collection.
Whether you’re running errands, working out or having a night out with friends, women of all body types can feel comfortable and confident in denim jeans with SM Woman’s denim for every woman.
