Celebrating 20 Years of Colorful Innovation: The 20th Anniversary Collection

June 26, 2023 by Big Chill

We’re Celebrating Two Decades of Stylish, Functional, and Customizable Kitchen Appliances with a Vibrant Palette

Hey there, kitchen enthusiasts! We’ve got some exciting news to share with you. We’re thrilled to celebrate our 20th Anniversary with the launch of a special limited-edition color palette. As a direct-to-consumer brand, we take pride in offering appliances that not only perform exceptionally well but also add a touch of timeless style to your kitchen. And what better way to mark this milestone than by introducing four vibrant colors inspired by the playful aesthetic of the early 2000s?

Our journey began in 20 years ago when our founder, Orion Creamer, embarked on a quest to create the perfect vintage-inspired fridge for his uncle's dream beach house. Little did we know that this collaboration would lead to the birth of Big Chill and redefine the world of kitchen appliances.

To commemorate our 20-year journey, we're thrilled to present the Big Chill 20th Anniversary Collection. These four colors were personally hand-selected by our very own Orion. Inspired by the energetic and bold vibes of the early 2000s, these colors capture the essence of that era. And the best part? We're offering these anniversary colors at no additional cost on all our collections—Classic, Retro, and Pro. Let's take a look:

Caribbean Blue: This refreshing and vibrant shade captures the contemporary design trends prevalent in the 2000s. It brings a splash of color to kitchens ranging from cottage-core to modern eclectic, paying homage to the early days of technology and the internet. (Order a sample here.)

Tangerine: Infuse your kitchen with a sense of playfulness and personal style with this lively and attention-grabbing color. Associated with warmth and excitement, Tangerine allows you to add a creative touch and breathe new life into modern kitchen designs. (Order a sample here.)

Berry: Bold, intense, and rooted in the pop culture icons of Y2K, Berry embodies whimsy and femininity. Break away from traditional color palettes and embrace a distinctive and unconventional look with this rich shade of pink, serving as a visual focal point in any kitchen. (Order a sample here.)

Apple Green: Evocative of the bold and vibrant aesthetic popular during the early 2000s, Green Apple infuses spaces with nostalgia charm. Pair it with other bold colors to create a visually striking, eclectic look that represents our bright beginnings and future. (Order a sample here.)

Since our inception in 2003, we have continuously pushed the boundaries of kitchen appliance design. It all started with Orion's fascination with antique refrigerators and vintage appliances. From selling our first Retro refrigerator out of Orion's garage in Boulder, we’ve expanded to include two additional design styles: the American-industrial Classic Collection and the sleek and modern Pro Collection. All our collections come in a wide range of colors, providing you with endless possibilities to create your dream kitchen.

As Orion puts it, "We’re proud of what we've accomplished over the past 20 years, but as our customers’ needs evolve, we will continue to do the same," says Creamer. “With a mission to provide high-performance appliances that attract a range of design aesthetics, we currently offer close to 200 custom color options and we’re excited to introduce this limited edition palette that represents our ongoing commitment to color innovation.”

Happy Kitchen, Happy Home!
