Brand Seeks to Redefine Products Through Disruptive Design, Outstanding Performance and Customization
TORONTO, July 10, 2019 /CNW/ - Today, JennAir unveiled its new brand campaign in Canada, Bound By Nothing™, a creative mission built from consumer luxury category insights. According to a US study by Ipsos Affluent Intelligence, 81 percent of modern ultra-affluent luxury consumers believe the definition of luxury is rapidly changing1. The 2017 edition of the Global Powers of Luxury Goods report from Deloitte Global states that, 45 percent of luxury consumers are asking for personalized products and services, rather than carbon copies of conventional luxury2. The 2019 edition of the reportreinforces that personalization continues to be a key trend for luxury consumers3. Acting on this insight and with the primary focus on innovation, the JennAir brand, launched a progressive new vision of luxury under the Bound By Nothing™ creative platform featuring their new line of major appliances that launched this spring.
Along with the new brand campaign, this spring, JennAir brand unveiled two defiant design expressions - RISE™ and NOIR™.

"Our new product line features progressive design, meticulous craftsmanship, and frictionless technology. Through this new line we are making unmistakable strides toward meaningful progress and innovation in the category."

In Canada, the Bound By Nothing™ campaign will come to life through national print, digital and out-of-home advertising, a bold new brand website, social channels and earned media efforts.

Product Innovation "The provocative new JennAir RISE™ and NOIR™ designs challenge convention while bringing style and modern luxury into the kitchen," says Ryder. "Consumers and designers will be able to find their preferred aesthetic edge." The two new JennAir design expressions include:
RISE™ - intended to inspire designers and tastemakers as they build custom kitchens to reflect bespoke, personal style, ushering in a new era of striking proportions. Robust lines draw the eye with warm, luxurious brass accents, while a delicate, diamond-etched matrix wraps itself around a muscular handle, proportioned with fortitude.
NOIR™ - sensuality and geometry collide in a daring new minimalist style. It features structured angles, clean lines, and seamless glass, with a hidden lace pattern underneath the streamlined handle. The NOIR™ design rejects dated ideals of beauty, and its details beckon intrigue.
