While reading up on the man behind the design of this washing machine, Andre Kim, I learned that Micheal Jackson, impressed with his designs, had asked him to be his personal designer. Kim politely refused the offer, stating that his designs were not exclusive and were for everyone. Now, I haven't had a chance to look at what kind of clothes Andre has designed, but one look at this washing machine, and I can surely understand why he caught MJ's attention.

I'm not sure that Samsung has targeted the Hauzen for everyone. You would have to be extremely bold and experimental to have this one in your house. Just consider this: the machine has a gilded finish, a deep bright red paint job, and to top it all, a royal emblem on the glass. The only normal part of it seems to be the stainless steel door ring. The only place I can think of where this might blend in easily is in one of those exotic royal palaces in Jaipur, India.

No information available on the features and pricing, but I guess folks interested in the Hauzen wouldn't be concerned too much about either of those details.
