The conceptual 'Drawer' mini fridge has been designed by Taewoo Kim as a compact appliance for the office that will provide professionals with a way to keep essential drinks and snacks nearby. Designed by Taewoo Kim, the fridge disguises itself as a small filing cabinet that can be slipped under a desk to keep it within reach at all times, while also providing a built-in cooling drawer at the top of the unit. This provides the perfect spot to position a refreshment between sips to keep it at the optimal temperature.
The conceptual 'Drawer' mini fridge boasts a main section that, like the top drawer, slides out instead of utilizing a door to offer intuitive access to drinks or snacks during business hours.
