Here are a couple unusual attempts to reinvent the kitchen and its most basic appliance, the refrigerator.

This refrigerator is one of many new home electronics displayed at National Electronics’ Invention Station in Tokyo, a new campaign hosted by three pretty Japanese anchorwomen. It not only displays all your gastronomical delights for everyone to see, but also has a super-low bottom shelf for easy in-and-out of heavy items, and fits more stuff than your fat uncle’s belly.

Here’s a modular fridge created by Electrolux. You know what’s smart about its design? When you open up the door to get your beer, you don’t let the cold air out in more than one itty bitty compartment. Also, things don’t get buried under packs of old bologna, since each box is a shelf. But are you ever going to be able to store the Thanksgiving turkey inside just one cube?
