Elegant? Well, seems so. Until this refrigerator doesn't open on the
side you're used to opening refrigerators.

The design does not clearly communicate its use. Usability is sacrificed
for some aesthetic principle. Yet this does not have to be, and to
continue to inflict unusable designs in the name of aesthetics shows a
callous disregard by designers of their products' users.

----------------------

I know this type of refrigerator, and it seems to be a paragon of usability.
As you noted, it has the recesses on either side, allowing the user to
change which way the door opens with very little effort. In other words,
such a refrigerator can be "configured" for any living space (to open, for
example, close to available counter space, unlike Bonnie's refrigerator).
Very versatile, very... usable.
