Save Food From the Fridge_by Jihyun Ryou

Are you also one of those people that just can't make friends with refrigerators?
When I design kitchens, fridges seem to cause the biggest trouble. They are always so big and hard to incorporate.
The sound of it in my own kitchen and its looks are just something I cannot learn how to live with. And since my kitchen is quite small, I for sure could use the space it takes for other (more useful) things.

Designer uses sand to vertically store vegetables

When it comes to usage...well I can't really say I need it all that much (for sure I don't need one as big as mine). It uses a lot of energy for no good reason.  Since I am a vegetarian, I use mostly fresh ingredients...and the vegetables taken out of the refrigerator most of the time don't taste as good. Plus, preserving without refrigeration existed for centuries anyway. I even remember making special underground "storages" for potatoes and apples in the backyard with my family (I am originally born and raised in a village in Croatia).
