Unless you have a huge family, or do a lot of home canning or whatnot, a full size refrigerator is probably not practical. Both in the amount of physical space it takes up, and the amount of electricity it uses, a fridge hogs precious resources.
Izona has developed an excellent solution to this problem with their CoolDrawer. It’s a discreet and elegant under counter refrigerator-freezer unit that pulls out like a normal drawer. Individual sections can be set to different temperature settings, and you can even fit bulkier items like wine bottles without a problem.

These always seem like such a perfect solution. While visiting friends in Japan I marveled at their drawer fridge. Additionally, I remember touring the Dymaxion House (1948) in Detroit’s Henry Ford Museum and seeing that Buckminster Fuller had added drawer refrigerators to the prototype home’s kitchen. I’ve always wondered why these aren’t more prevalent.

Between this and the portable cooktop featured the other day, you could fit half a kitchen in a corner. Amazing.

Brilliant idea now I look at my big, bulky fridge and think “why?”.
