The Gorenje also featured prominently in two other stands at the show.

Following the event The Sun, Britain’s largest circulation newspaper, ran a feature on the ‘House of the Future’ including a picture and copy of the Gorenje SmarTable.  With a circulation of around 3 million combined with over 100,000 visitors to the show, the Gorenje brand has been exposed to over 3 million people in the UK.
