Designer Stefan Buchberger’s fridge design was created with keeping in mind the idea of personal space. The 'Flatshare' fridge was designed for people who lived with multiple roommates.
Having to share an apartment or a room is an aspect of life that many people go through. You’ll end up sharing a lot of things with one another, but there are certain boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed—food is that boundary. The fridge is composed of small multiple fridges stacked on top of each other—making it easier finding out which chicken belongs to whom. Roommates can stack their fridges together to make it look-like one big fridge. People who like organizing everything inside their fridges can use the reconstructible fridge as well.
