        Purpose: Stanford University Product Design Project 
         
        Description: 
        To explore and define innovative needs for refrigerators. 
         
        This 
        concept explores a common alternate use for refrigerators which is to 
        store female beauty products, film, and batteries. Currently, each person 
        invents their own system for this need. 
         
        The 
        rapid concept design addresses this need in general for all refrigerators, 
        and specifically for the SubZero brand which tailors towards an affluent 
        market and has standard door shelving dimension across all brands. The 
        added benefits are:   
      
        -  Convenient: 
          contents are easily viewable and removable bins
 
        -  Safe: 
          out of reach of children
 
        -  Compartmentalize: 
          film & batteries are < 2.5 in. and medicine and nail polish are 
          > 3 in.
 
       
      Stats:  
      -- Approximately 
      100,000 refrigerator sold per year in the U.S.
