The Fridge Monkey is a simple rubber tray that safely and compactly stores bottled and canned drinks in the fridge. According to Yanko Design, the Fridge Monkey is inspired by the brass monkey used on ships to stack cannonballs. Essentially, this item uses the bottles themselves as a storage unit.
By cleverly stacking drinks on top of one another, the Fridge Monkey will not only help users organize their refrigerator, but also add a little character to it as well. Kudos to designers Kevin Champion and Duncan Taylor from Mode Product Design.
