Kids, ask mom and dad for a tree house fridge

Filed in archive Wired Home General on January 13, 2007

If I were still a kid, I'd be asking my parents for the Yanko Treehouse Fridge, found courtesy of Wired via Slashfood. I didn't think a fridge could be fun, but looking at this, it is fun! And incredibly unique. Perfect for the kid, and the kid at heart.

Quoting the folks at Yanko:

"It is a fridge design, combining with a tree branch shape storage system and several single fridges, which tried to bring the memory of tree house in our childhood to the kitchen in daily life. One fridge has holes and pattern on the door as a fruit shelf. People can pick up a fruit from a tree. Another is like a bird house. Doors can slide away when a hand is placed in front of it. It's funny how one can draw out an egg from a bird's nest. There is also a special device designed at the foot of the door, when people step on it, a wheel with small motor will slide the door open."

Quoting me:
COOL. Very COOL! Especially if you're a gadget geek like me. If anyone wants to send one my way, I'd love to give it a tree drive.
