Collaborative Fridges

What makes a fridge ‘smart’? This project is a low-tech counterpart smarter than any smart fridge because the users make it smart. The aim is to install open-access fridges in small communities for anyone to put food items before they go to waste and where anyone can take it. The fridge’s goals are in fighting food waste by creating social links and bridging community divides. It comes with two objects to start the conversation and a digital groupchat to give the community a space to discuss.
