KitchenAid and Corkcicle are collaborating on what is being dubbed the Mindfullness Fridge, a limited-run KitchenAid refrigerator with the company’s auto-filling water dispenser that syncs with co-branded Corkcicle insulated drinkware to activate a meditation cycle.
Wellness expert and New York Times bestselling author Radhi Devlukia (pictured above) has partnered with KitchenAid and Corkcicle to bring her philosophy of “mindful living” to the kitchen through curated recipes and rituals, the companies announced.
The Mindfullness Fridge features KitchenAid’s Intelligent Auto Fill dispensing technology. The system uses a camera and AI-powered sensor technology to detect when a container is placed below the water dispenser and automatically fills it hands-free. The dispenser is designed to fit extra-tall bottles and wide containers.
“We all fall into the trap of moving on autopilot from one task to the next,” said Lexie Winter, brand manager for KitchenAid. “We launched The Mindfullness Fridge to make the time in between tasks count. We’re excited to showcase how Intelligent Auto Fill can transform an everyday habit into an intentional break.”
The Mindfullness Fridge experience is activated specifically when the co-branded Corkcicle drinkware is placed under the dispenser. As the dispenser fills the drinkware hands-free, a guided meditation animates on the refrigerator’s high-resolution display and is accompanied by breath-synced lighting and cadenced chimes to create a multi-sensory “mindfulness” moment that invites users to find a pause in every pour, according to the companies. A Mindfullness Fridge will be awarded to five winners through a national sweepstakes with an entry window that runs through November 15, 2026.
KitchenAid and Corkcicle created a collection of co-branded drinkware designed to coordinate with premium KitchenAid appliance finishes and mixed metal accents. The coordinated Corkcicle drinkware collection includes a 40-ounce Cruiser, a 20-ounce Sport Canteen and a 16-ounce Mug. The drinkware is offered in three KitchenAid-matching colorways: Juniper with bronze accents, Porcelain White with brass Accents, and KitchenAid Signature Red with stainless steel accents
“Our partnership with KitchenAid brings together thoughtful innovation and beautiful design, with a custom collection of tumblers and bottles designed to fit perfectly and fill seamlessly with their new refrigerator,” said Ben Hewitt, CEO of Corkcicle. “It’s a simple way to make life a little easier and give people a moment to breathe.”
