GroundFridge1-768x445By Amanda Froelich

Fresh and modern in its design, the underground fridge is basically an innovative version of the traditional root cellar.

Whether you’re interested in lessening your burden on the environment or are prepping for doomsday, you’re sure to favor the plans of an underground cooling system – aka underground fridge – which keeps produce and fine wines from spoiling before their time.

The Ground Fridge, as it is called, was invented by Dutch designer Floris Schoonderbeek for the company Weltevree. Its purpose is to cool and store foods at a low temperature – no electricity required.

Fresh and modern in its design, the underground fridge is basically an innovative version of the traditional root cellar. As Contemporist reports, it was designed “for the new cosmopolitan with its own vegetable garden and a modern self-sufficient existence.”

GroundFridge2-768x845According to the designer, modern houses are often built without a basement while a lot of people nowadays feel the need for one. Focused on eating healthy and preparing for the future, more and more people are opting to grow their own food and/or buy in bulk at the local organic farmer.
