Liebherr monolith refrigerator

A familiar name among chefs and sommeliers, Liebherr is well known for its refrigerators and wine coolers made to exacting German standards. Now, you can have their latest model – aptly dubbed the Monolith for its impressive height of 2.13m – in your home, too.

Delineated by clean lines and clad in matte stainless steel, the Monolith is practical and timeless in design. Thanks to its sheer size, it can be the highlight of your cooking or entertaining space, or you can opt to conceal it by cladding it in the same laminate as your kitchen cabinets.

Its separate compartments have specific temperature and humidity levels to extend the shelf life of your produce. Fruits and vegetables, for instance, are kept fresh with HydroSafe technology, which maintains high humidity levels to prevent them from drying out. It’s the converse, however, in the meat and dairy compartment, where humidity levels are low thanks to DrySafe technology.

As for those of us who love seafood, the compartment designed for fish and seafood can reach optimum temperatures of -2C, and can also be used to cool drinks quickly so they can be served ice cold.

The freezer drawers within the fridge are enclosed, so your food is protected from the loss of cold air. They’re fully removable, though, and can be taken out and cleaned easily.

Last but not least, for those of us who entertain at home, there’s the automatic ice maker which can create 1.6kg of filtered ice in 24 hours, which means we’ll never have to worry about running out of ice again.

Since the Liebherr Monolith is a modular fridge, discerning homeowners can mix and match their freezers, fridges, and wine coolers to create a combination tailored to their kitchen.
