Not here (yet), but it certainly seems to be hot in Europe.
Some sense of things to come (unfortunately it's all in very flashy Flash, so I can't steal the images):
Gorenje's Pininfarina Black Collection
An update to the classic Gorenje Pininfarina stainless-steel appliance line, the Gorenje Pininfarina Black Collection features glossy and matte black surfaces.
A limited edition (only 100 appliance sets have been made, unfortunately only available in Europe), the line includes a refrigerator/freezer, a built-in oven, cooktops, a ventilation hood and decorative panels for washers and microwaves.
The collection's technological innovations include a quick view window in the refrigerator, which allows users to see what’s inside without opening the door, and slider touch control on the cooktops, which allows simple operation by sliding a finger across the control unit's surface.
Doesn't say a word about the issues of dust and fingerprints on black...Guess those Europeans don't have greasy fingers or dust.
The styling on the fridge is STUNNING.
