“Enduring, not ultimate form”: from “Industrieform” to Red Dot (1980 - 1997)
Inclusive Fridge
This is a smart, height-adjustable fridge designed for accessibility. Using crowd recognition, magnetic adjustment, and voice interaction, it gauges the user’s height and adjusts its internal compartments accordingly. Activated by user commands, it optimises compartment height for easy access. Voice interactions confirm needs, and compartments attach to the door, adjusting height automatically. The compartments also reset after each use.
