Fridges for flatshares

The weeping, mold-stricken melon. A sandwich covered in green fluff, its meats of indeterminate origin. Knotted fists of rancid pre-cheese floating in a half-gallon of milk.

Why anyone would want to raid a shared fridge is beyond me, but raid them they do. Enter Stefan Buchberger and his design for a modular fridge system designed to be shared. It's an entry in Electrolux's Design Lab 2008.

Unrealistic.

You'll notice no hasps for padlocks.

Also unrealistic: no passive aggressive notes.

still doesnt solve: "Hey youve got smelly goo leaking out of your fridge onto mine for 3 weeks now! When are you gonna clean it up?"

I see nothing here that will stop my flatmate scoffing all my food.. where's the padlocks, alarm bells and hand clampers.

This looks expensive - not a quality to be sought out when furnishing shared accommodation.
