Accent pieces for any place in your home whether indoor or outdoors make your living area more appealing. Undeniably, when it comes to the kitchen, we normally furnish it with beautiful tiles, table runners, potted plants and other accent pieces but have you ever given thought to the kitchen furniture and appliances?
Accent pieces work great if they follow the theme that the appliances and furniture have. For instance, if your kitchen is completed with antique furnishings and appliances, then accent pieces should be of the vintage or antique variety and what about modern chic themes? Your accent pieces should follow suit as well.
In the age of modern design comes the vertical standing refrigerator from GRO design called the Bi-Axis Fridge. Designed for Samsung, this chic refrigerator compliments the modern theme for your kitchen where sleek and cleans rules. This fridge can be distorted from its customary vertical orientation to a horizontal sideboard, failing all conventional theories that say a refrigerator should be standing.
The design exudes sleekness, breaking boundaries for change in the kitchen setting and features a contemporary approach to kitchen furnishing. This fridge will definitely become the center piece of a kitchen.
The inspiration from GRO design comes for the increasingly blurred line between cooking and living areas in modern homes. The fridge’s retro feature complimented with the modern concept of a fridge transforms the whole idea of a traditional kitchen as soon as the traditional vertical position of the fridge is changed into a horizontal ’sideboard’, making it look like another piece of furniture rather than a large appliance.
The typical coils that you normally find in conventional fridges are no more there and are replaced with smooth flat surface with the interior surfaces having grooves that allow the shelves to be re-oriented according to the fridges position.
GRO is a multi-disciplinary strategic creative design agency that has been creating successful products for A-branded clients throughout the world, founded by three experienced British designers Roland Bird, Graham Hinde and Roger Swales for over 10 years.
