The any-size-fridge by Guillaume Landin

Exploring air thermal insulation capacity using the inflatable alveolar wall, the frigid air refrigerator is flexible. This unique feature allows you to change the volume of the refrigerator and thus determine the cooling capacity for the amount of food stored. What this means is – you can expand and compact the fridge, depending upon how much food is there to be stored. A basic heat pump cools the food storage space and has no contact with the cold zone. Essentially the compressor and condenser are bundled up and don’t emit heat near the main cooling box. The main fridge bag is sealed and a protective waterproof textile is fixed on the inside using Velcro strips.

I like innovative thought processes that ignite change. Is this fridge design the best possible solution? Perhaps not, but it does force us to think of a modular form that can expand or contract as per the usage, and help save space and energy.

Bow Hanger by Camo Lin & Wun Bing Lin

Sometimes our clothes will be deformed because of the hanger. That is, tiny T-shirts may be over-held by a normal-sized hanger. Similarly, a suit may slip down in a small hanger, too.
However, this hanger is suitable for any kind or size of clothes due to the bamboo’s flexibility and tension which make it possible to be bent into different shape.

The structure is simple but beautiful, and there are two bamboo slices in different length. We can just bend the two sides of the hanger, and the second slice would go upward into the rubber gap. In this way, the bamboo’s flexiblility and tension will sustain the whole structure and suit any kinds of clothing.

Japanese industrial design student Shin Yamashita from the Kyoto Institute of Technology designed the Land Peel: a flexible three-piece mat made for sitting, reading, even napping by simply lifting and folding the panels to create a table, a seat or rest.
