Forward thinking CoolDrawer fridge/freezer by Fisher & Paykel

Busy modern lifestyles put pressure on the kitchen, which has become the focal point of the home. For this reason, the kitchen needs to be convenient, orderly and above all, functional.

Appliance manufacturers are keeping pace by offering a number of innovative solutions, including modular appliance design. Mark Elmore, head of design at Fisher & Paykel Appliances, says that for years, homeowners and designers have seen modular systems as space-saving solutions. But more recently, the concept has morphed to provide customisation, while maintaining style, good ergonomics and accessibility.

The Fisher & Paykel CoolDrawer fridge/freezer highlights the flexibility provided by this approach. The 90cm CoolDrawer, which can be positioned exactly where you need it, has five different settings, making it completely adaptable. At the touch of a button it can be changed from a fridge to a freezer, humidity pantry, wine cooler or chiller.

Many households opt for two CoolDrawers. One can be stocked with fresh produce, serving as a pantry, while the other can be placed in a convenient location for the family to access drinks.
