It *does* look cool.

Well, it might be good for when I get my starship. :-)

]]> <![CDATA[Electrolux nFridge Modular Concept]]> will this fit under a countertop? I don't understand how this fits with current kitchen design. Can I stand it vertical?
If something spoils, it won't affect everything else in the fridge...thats good.

I guess you'd be less likely to have stuff go bad in there, cause everyone would see it.

]]> <![CDATA[Electrolux nFridge Modular Concept]]> Sometimes it's enough just to enjoy the concept without over-analyzing it. This is very cool.

Of course, they appear to be levitating, there's no visual means of support...but anyway, just a cool concept.

What, are they screwed right into the drywall? Or floating on magnets? I can think of plenty of stuff that would look cool flying through space like some kind of Star Wars transport...let's see this in a small kitchen when you're trying to bend over and get something out of the lowest pod! No ergonomics! No energy efficiency! What were these guys smoking!

But anyway...pretty cool.

You can get one that has 2 temperature zones (reds and whites typically) but it's a lot pricier than buying two smallers versions (that together can fit more than the 1 dual zone model) with an adjustable control. Back to the original purpose of these compartments--you may realize if not actually use--the fridge in your own home probably has several temperature and humidity compartments that get poorly utilized and probably abused severely (partly because really, do you actually put the lettuce where it's supposed to go? Do you even BUY lettuce?) and so this does highlight how food does have optimal storage environments. Unless all you eat is Ramen. Then it really doesn't matter.

]]> <![CDATA[Electrolux nFridge Modular Concept]]> I suppose my only complaint would be that they are opening up a whole lot of non-insulated surface area to the heat in the room. It's not going to be nearly as efficient as a normal refrigerator. Other than that, looks awesome, especially the little LCD screens to show temperature or whatever.

Typically, when cooking, I'd be removing several items from the fridge. Which would equate to opening up a lot of these little boxes.

/how many boxes do I need to get up to 25 cubic feet?

/how many cans of soda can I fit in one box?

]]> <![CDATA[Electrolux nFridge Modular Concept]]> As a chef, I find the concept intriguing. There are many benefits to a large, open-shelved fridge. However, these little cubes would be excellent for the storage of smaller, often-used items. I am picturing this inside a production kitchen, with each cube storing a specific component.

For the home cook, this probably isn't exactly practical, unless you don't cook and are simply storing take-out leftovers or two bottles of ketchup.
