Wheel-Base Smart Refrigerators

The Fridze by janchi and Joeun Kim is Inspired by Electric Cars

janchi and Joeun Kim worked together to design the new Fridze, which is essentially an electric refrigerator made to function on the go. It is inspired by electric vehicles and is perfect for camping adventures or any long trips. The portable fridge resembles a look of an ice cooler.

It has a minimal design language with futuristic aesthetics that moves around similarly to a suitcase. It has two wheels on the back side and is controlled by a telescopic handle with a thicker U-bar on the front side in order to prevent it from falling over. Notably, it has a small battery to function on its own when it is not connected to EV batteries during transit.
