In the limited space of the sidewalk, how do you pass each other without clashing or getting wet? JooYoun Paek has devised a brilliantly simple solution to this issue. With the pull of a cord attached to the handle, her Polite Umbrella shrinks and morphs its shape to reduce occupied space, and help users maneuver around others and protect themselves from wind.

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. [via Gizmodo]]]>
