Modular Refrigerator for Student Houses

Article link: Modular Refrigerator for Student Houses

This article is about a refrigerator which was designed by a student, Stefan Buchberger of the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, and won the Electrolux Design Lab competition of 2008. It was designed for students or people sharing housing to keep their individual food items in their individual refrigerator units.

I liked this article for two reasons: It's a genius idea to keep the food separated by the actual refrigerator; I know many of my friends who share fridges with other people could definitely benefit from this. Also, the second reason, is that it's stackable. Multiple coolers or mini-fridges can take up so much space in a small apartment or dorm room, so not only do you have the benefit of keeping food to yourself, but having more room to keep your stuff to yourself as well.
