Miele’s New Giant Fridge Can Double as a Morgue
10:00PM Jesus Diaz | I don’t know if these fridges are the norm in the US, but it seems to me like Miele’s latest giganormous fridge from their Master Cool line–shown here at IFA 2008–has to be the biggest fridge ever available to megalomaniac consumers and potential serial killers. They should christen it The Walk-In Fridge, because this thing is so big that you can fit a cow inside. So huge in fact that I won’t be able to put it in my apartment’s living room. Actually, I think can put my entire living room and bedroom inside during the summer months. [More IFA 2008 Coverage] More »

Gorenje Fridge Table Lifts Food, People Frozen in Carbonite
8:40PM Jesus Diaz | The Home Appliances halls at IFA 2008 have some of the best stuff in the fair, like this Gorenje fridge table, which seems to be a brand obsessed about doing really Star Trekish stuff for the kitchen. The table–with a central fridge that smoothly raises to give access to food and beverages, and a security system to avoid having your arm trapped in it–is not a concept but a real product made to order. The price: US$15,000 to US$20,000, depending on the material you choose. I’ll keep using my picnic fridge and raising it to the table while making a hmmmmm noise with my mouth, thank you very much.
