Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This is a wine ark combination refrigerator, it is to have of keeping fresh red wine storage, ice making, the triad of the fridge. Wine cabinet and refrigerator of the two big modules can be adjusted according to indoor decoration respectively toward, and through the combination of magnetic adsorption. This is different from existing embedded in decorating the refrigerator of fixed mode. In addition, the modular refrigerators can be customized according to user demand, to provide more choice.
- Inspiration
- Initial design idea is used in not only can hope the fridge in the kitchen, it should be suitable for any environment. Therefore, refrigerator need to adapt to space environment, together with the user's use, as well as a polyhedron can rotate. And in the form of a modular combination to meet the integral design of the storage and keep food fresh demand. Thus carry out the design work.
- Research
- At the early stage of the product research and development, makes the type analysis to the existing market refrigerator, on the function of the existing refrigerator actual investigation, puts forward the design idea of combination of wine and refrigerators.
