Hosting has regained its charm, but the challenge persists. AEG has responded with its innovative Art of Hosting platform at IFA 2026 in Berlin. This platform envisions a seamless integration of kitchen, laundry, and cleaning appliances, and less in the kitchen.

AEG’s recent study reveals that over half of Europeans, 51%, see a shift in hosting styles, with 36% noting it has become more casual and 27% more personal. Still, 59% feel under pressure to achieve perfection. This insight anchors AEG’s exhibition.
