On September 6, 2025, at IFA 2025 in Berlin, COLMO, an AI-enabled home appliance brand under the Midea Group, introduced its EVOLUTION 2.0 Series and was recognized with the Global Product Technology Innovation Awards, receiving the AI Series Home Appliance Innovation Gold Award.
The EVOLUTION 2.0 Series stands out as both a product range and a design philosophy, emphasizing the concept of “effective elegance,” where technological performance meets practical utility. The series, presented by Marzio Riboldi, Director of COLMO’s Milan Design Center, includes home appliances for air, water, kitchen, and laundry applications. Each appliance integrates AI-powered functionalities with aesthetic cues from Milanese design, aiming to enhance day-to-day home life.
Design elements are a central focus for the EVOLUTION 2.0 Series. Drawing inspiration from the architecture and design of Milan and Lake Como, the appliances feature Nano Silver Paste Technology, which gives their glass surfaces a metallic depth. The panels utilize 0.3-micron precision etching to produce a smooth and warm finish, and all products follow a flush, built-in design for a seamless and understated look. Controls use contrasting colors and soft LED indicators for intuitive interaction.
A key highlight of the series is the AUTO VIVA Intuitive Interaction system. This technology is designed to understand and respond naturally to user intent through features such as automatic refrigerator doors, voice controls, and coordinated appliance functions. The aim is to simplify home management and create a cohesive smart home experience.
Health and wellness are prioritized throughout the EVOLUTION 2.0 Series. The appliances feature an AI Comprehensive Wellness Management System, which includes air purification, nutritional monitoring, hydration management, and advanced laundry cleaning. Noteworthy technologies include AI Air Management to enhance air quality, automated recipe suggestions, water dispensing systems that can adjust alkaline content by age group, and silver-ion technology to eliminate mites and bacteria from clothing.
By combining advanced AI utility with refined design, COLMO’s EVOLUTION 2.0 Series seeks to set new expectations for modern home appliances, focusing on making everyday living both efficient and visually appealing.
