Over the past decades our work has been awarded by every major design award in the world. We honor the tradition with two brand new iF Design Awards for ASKO, one of which best of category Gold Award.
Teamwork makes the dream work
ASKO is a Scandinavian manufacturer that specializes in high-quality kitchen and laundry appliances. ASKO products are developed by combining traditional craftsmanship, user driven innovation and a passion for design. For more than a decade WAACS has been developing appliances together with the in-house design teams at ASKO in Sweden and ASKO in the Netherlands. In close collaboration we worked on washing machines, gas and induction cookers, hobs, hoods and refrigerators. In all projects user driven design has been the key success factor.

The serving area has a color adjustable illumination. The wooden shelves and the chalk boards are a sign of craftsmanship, and make a nice balance with the advanced technology. The design with the glass door and elegant handle lets the cabinet blend in perfectly in a living space. Read more
