Galactic Cube Fridges

This Tiny Fridge is Designed to Look like the Borg Cube from Star Trek

— July 29, 2014 — Art & Design
Finally sci-fi fans can grab a drink from a mini-fridge designed to look just like the Borg Cube spaceship from the iconic Star Trek: The Next Generation television show. This intergalactic fridge will keep your beverages ice cold and protect them from unearthly space invaders.

In the word of Star Trek the Borg ship is a cube-shaped spacecraft featured on Star Trek: The Next Generation. The cubic look of this celestial spaceship makes it the perfect sci-fi object to build a mini-fridge after. Rather than remaking the ship into a rectangular design, the creators at Think Geek simply redesigned the mini-fridge into a cube shape. The fridge is covered in galactic etching and even comes with neon green LED lighting. You can fit nine cans snugly inside this Borg Cube fridge.
