The innovative new Electrolux Flatshare Refrigerator is an ideal solution for anyone who has to share kitchen space with someone else. Flatmates can now protect their chocolate from being pilfered by the thieving housemate who has similar tastes.
The Flatshare fridge is the creation of Stefan Buchberger from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. It was an entry in the annual Electrolux Design Lab competition. The modular fridge has separate compartments, one on top of another, allowing each roomie to have their own mini-fridge.
Each compartment has sufficient room for one person. There is a tall section for bottles, a section for fruits and vegetables and a section for frozen foods.
This one stacks up as a super practical idea!
