Back in the late 90′s, IKEA made waves with collapsible furnitures geared for tiny homes (particularly in Japan). It seems the concept has hit appliances- starting with refrigerators.

Electrolux pioneered the technology using an accordion type system to vertically increase and decrease the height of the unit while implementing some space age heat insulation membranes to keep heat out and cold in. The construction is sturdy and should allow for years of expanding and contracting. For folks who like opening fridge doors just to check how much pizza and turkey remains, its now easy to tell the amount of grub left: just inspect how high your ref is. One level high? You better run to the grocery before that next football game!

Hmm… I think that if they made one unit that also expands horizontally they’d have a killer app.  What do you think?
