The Totem Fridge - Stackable Food Storage

This stackable design for a fridge is by creator Stefan Buchberger, a design student at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. The idea came out of living in a small dorm room, and the thought of being able to go vertical like a skyscraper in a crowded city appealed to Stefan.

"I decided to create Flatshare fridge because there is nothing more disgusting than a dirty fridge in a shared flat," he says. "At the time, I was living in such a flat!"

The fridge consists of a base station, and up to four stackable modules that allow each individual user to have his or her own refrigerator space. Each can be customized with various colorful skins as well as with add-ons like a bottle opener or a whiteboard. We think just having meat, vegetables, snacks, and beer all separated out in a college fridge sounds like pure genius.
