Transparent Refrigerator and Clothes Dryer

Transparent household electronics from Japan. The dryer uses natural dry air instead of loads of energy to do its job, and the fridge has a special “low waist line” to facilitate the transport of heavy items.

    Yeah pretty awesome that fridge make it easier to see if you still got food without having to open it. I myself got a transparent wallet so I can see how much money I got. Without opening it to count.

    Wow, I’m a fridge enthusiast, and I’ve never seen the beautiful all-around transparent refrigerator in your post above. It’s like a french-door fridge, taken to the extreme. Imagine the utility – you can see exactly what’s in your fridge the whole time without having to open it, and you get to save energy in the process.

    Transparent fridge would look nice as along as you have good looking food. I’m imagining some people spending an inordinate amount of time standing with the door open, trying to artistically arrange their aging leftovers.

    The toaster’s a good idea, but the camera is just kitschy.

    Where can i buy the camera?

This is just out of this world! Transparent Design is apparently becoming a trend in Japan. I love my sleek streamline designs but the idea of transparency is so fresh I cant deny my envy.
