THE
QOLDFUSION
VISION

With decades of combined experience in the luxury appliance industry, the team at Qoldfusion understood the cold truth about residential refrigerators and freezers: it needed fresh and innovative thinking to be designed exclusively for today’s home.

Like no other manufacturer before them, Qoldfusion saw that home refrigeration and freezing needed to be just that – a key addition to the home and not just the kitchen. It was time to move beyond boxy column appliances and introduce luxury home owners to the beauty and performance of walk-in coolers and freezers. And thus the Qoldfusion Cold Pantry, Dual-Temp and Freezer Pantry was born. Their vision of the Cold Pantry included chilled foods and drinks when and where you need them, beverage taps in the family room, an access door off the outdoor backyard kitchen and a “grab ‘n go” door in the mudroom entryway. And, of course, a walk-in paradise for all of your cooking and entertaining needs. The Qoldfusion Pantry is the biggest change to home refrigerators and freezers since, well, ice.

A Qoldfusion Pantry gives today’s homeowner a one-stop spot that is convenient, organized and durable enough to keep up with the frequent “in-and-out of the fridge” of daily life. No more cramming foods into drawers or bottles into door shelves. No more frustrating searches for the ketchup bottle or finding a half frozen bottle of milk deep in the fridge. No more digging for frozen foods in a deep box freezer. Qoldfusion delivers consistent, clean cooling with everything in plain sight. And it’s ready to meet your refrigeration and freezing needs if you’re having a big party or grabbing a healthy snack for the kids.

The Qoldfusion Walk-in Cold Pantry, Dual-Temp or Freezer Pantry offers a room that can seamlessly fit into any home decor and provide spacious refrigeration, freezing, beverage taps, easy-access doors and more.

THE HISTORY OF
QOLDFUSION

In 1995, Dale Seiden founded LYNX Outdoor Kitchens and Grills, a pioneer company bringing professional-grade appliances to the home. Dale knew homeowners wanted luxury, quality, durability and reliability when it came to kitchens and cooking.

Fast forward to 2003 when Dale and friend & colleague Dale Nichols began envisioning a restaurant-inspired walk-in refrigerator for the home. Their careers took different paths, always in the luxury appliance and commercial refrigeration industries, but the idea continued to grow and take shape. Their experiences allowed them to see the best and the worst examples of walk-in refrigeration, walk-in freezer units and luxury appliances. This knowledge inspired the incubation of a luxury appliance that is ideal for today’s home. The appliance would one day become the Qoldfusion Walk-In Cold Pantry.

In January 2020, a Qoldfusion powerhouse core team was formed including the two Dales, Rick Dotson and Daryl Seiden. In 2022, Krystle Seiden joined the team to help strategize marketing and business development initiatives. The combined experience, as seen in their biographies, brought together an unparalleled roster of industry experts and resulted in innovation and creativity that had never been seen in home refrigeration and freezers. The core team knows every aspect of luxury residential kitchen appliances including manufacturing, technology, design, installation and customization. They know how to talk to and meet the needs of homeowners, designers, architects and builders; there isn’t a challenge or problem they most likely haven’t encountered. They bridged the gap between commercial and residential refrigeration & freezing and have defined a whole new category of appliance – the luxury Qoldfusion Pantry. And, only Qoldfusion has it.
