Integrated design, unmatched preservation

Design and performance converge in the Sub-Zero Designer Series, a refrigeration range that redefines the art of food preservation while integrating into any kitchen aesthetic.


Redefining the art of food preservation, the Sub-Zero Designer Series blends design and performance in a refrigeration range that effortlessly integrates into any kitchen aesthetic. Renowned for pioneering luxury integrated refrigeration, Sub-Zero continues to set the standard with its latest Designer Series models, offering a balance of form and function that is as sophisticated as it is technologically advanced.

At the core of the Designer Series is the ability to disappear within the architecture of the kitchen. With no visible hinges or grilles, these refrigerators blend into custom cabinetry, ensuring that functionality never disrupts the overall design vision. Available in sizes ranging from a compact 457-millimetre to an expansive 914-millimetre, the Designer Series caters to both intimate and spacious kitchen layouts, offering a customisable solution for every design preference. For those seeking a striking statement, optional stainless steel panels and handles provide a sleek, modern edge.

Beyond its refined aesthetics, the Designer Series is engineered for superior food preservation. The innovative Split Climate™ Intelligent Cooling System sets a new benchmark in freshness, using a variable-speed compressor and dual fans to maintain precise temperature control within one degree of the set point. This ensures that produce, dairy and meats remain fresher for longer, reducing food waste and enhancing quality.

The meticulous attention to detail extends to the interior, where ClearSight™ LED lighting eliminates shadows and evenly illuminates every shelf and compartment. The addition of stainless steel trim accents elevates the experience, reinforcing the cohesion between interior and exterior refinement. Meanwhile, the new Night Mode intelligently adjusts brightness in response to ambient lighting.

Designed for the way people use their kitchens, the Designer Series includes a host of intuitive features that enhance usability. A sleek touch control panel allows for precise adjustments to temperature, humidity and lighting. This means it maintains the optimal conditions. Adjustable door shelving provides flexibility, accommodating everything from tall bottles to delicate condiments, while the nano-coated glass shelving acts as a hydrophobic barrier, containing spills for easy clean-up. A flip-up dairy compartment further optimises storage, offering additional space when required.

Sub-Zero’s commitment to preservation extends beyond temperature control. There is some of the most advanced technology, such as a NASA-inspired air purification system that actively scrubs the air of ethylene gas and odours every 20 minutes. It’s a unique feature that effectively slows the spoilage process to keep food fresher for longer. While a magnetic door seal locks in cold air, enhancing energy efficiency while maintaining the integrity of stored ingredients.

For those who entertain frequently, the Designer Series offers clever conveniences, such as internal water dispensers and ice makers, ensuring that refreshments are always within easy reach. The combination of practical enhancements and seamless integration makes these refrigerators an essential component of any high-performance kitchen.

By merging state-of-the-art technology with an aesthetic that complements any space, Sub-Zero continues to inspire a higher standard of design. And the Designer Series delivers an uncompromising solution that stands the test of time.
