Bio Robot Refrigerator - Never it was so easy to store !!



Electrolux Design Lab holds an annual design competition for creating home appliances with a fresh theme each year. The whole idea behind the competition held is to make household appliances that would be used in 2050 which would not only save on space but would also be energy efficient. In keeping mind the competition's theme, The 2nd Space Age, Yuri Dmritriev submitted the Bio Robot Fridge concept.

This concept really challenges the idea of a fridge as it doesn’t even look like a refrigerator, or any other household appliance for that matter. There is no motor, no door, only a layer of gel where you put things in and keep them fresh. It is made of a biopolymer gel that is non-sticky and non-hazardous. When food items are inserted into the gel, different items are separated into pods in the process of encapsulating the items. The Bio Robot Fridge not only can be mounted on a wall, but also on a ceiling. The refrigerator works on the method of transforming the incoming UV radiation into visible light which provides the cooling through different wavelengths. The refrigerator can be filled to 90% of the available space into separate pods that ensures that each food item is cooled at an optimum temperature, without odours of the foods mixing in.

This concept has created quite a rage as its gives the refrigerator industry a futuristic twist but still it is still a concept for now, feels like may become a reality soon.
