This is just out of this world! Transparent Design is apparently becoming a trend in Japan. I love my sleek streamline designs but the idea of transparency is so fresh I cant deny my envy.

Wow, I’m a fridge enthusiast, and I’ve never seen the beautiful all-around transparent refrigerator in your post above. It’s like a french-door fridge, taken to the extreme. Imagine the utility – you can see exactly what’s in your fridge the whole time without having to open it, and you get to save energy in the process.
