Freedom Collection Modular Fresh Food and Freezer Columnsby Thermador

Thermador's Freedom Collection proves that freezer and fridge can, indeed, stand apart. In fact, the Huntington Beach, Calif., company's built-in modular columns can be placed anywhere in the kitchen, giving architects unparalleled design flexibility. The line of fresh food, freezer, and wine towers can be speced in stainless steel or panel-ready designs with widths of 18 inches, 24 inches, or 30 inches. Each Energy Star-rated column has its own compressor and an evaporator that is said to eliminate odor transfer and to regulate the interior temperature with a variance of just 1.5 degrees.
