EXPEDIT bares the typical IKEA look and those who appreciate minimalist Scandinavian sensibilities can purchase the shelving unit from here. Retailing for a reasonable $149.00, the shelving unit is available in a number of finishes, but we personally love the high gloss red style.  The high gloss surface is no coincidence as  it reflects light and gives a stunning vibrant look. Finished on all sides, the EXPEDIT can also be used as a room divider.

The furniture collection is actually being exhibited at the Carpenters Workshop Gallery until in London until May the 28th. So if you want to see them up close, you know where to go.

Some wise minds over at the University of Central Lancashire and online supermarket Ocado have come up with a Self-Cleaning Fridge concept, something that should take healthy and hygienic food maintenance and eating to another level.
