If you have ever shared a house or apartment with one or more people then chances are there has been more than one disagreement over the contents of the refrigerator. If the people that you share with are not blood relatives then that likelihood goes up at least a hundred times. Austrian design student Stefan Buchberger created this concept for the the Electrolux Design Lab 2008 competition and it has made him a finalist.

The Flatshare Fridge can be built up from up to four stackable modules. At the bottom there is a base station that provides the power. The idea is that it keeps food apart and and hopefully helps to alleviate a little of the tension involved in the shared living experience. [Flickr via Electrolux, Gizmodo]
