"The idea in creating an innovative shape for a vacuum cleaner was to design a product that will ease and simplify users’ daily chores, in line with the Gorenje brand proposition of 'Life Simplified’. New design was inspired by the needs of the end user, responding to contemporary fast paced life with its versatility, easy handling and high efficiency as well as compact volume, fitting even into small storage places.”

Especially in the segment of small appliances, which we use almost every day in our homes. If we manage to give our users additional value in terms of appealing design, this makes our mission complete. We are very proud that our great team work on designing the G·Force Free vacuum cleaner has been recognized and awarded with the prestigious Red Dot.
