(FORTUNE Small Business) – Big Chill Fridge, $2,700
Look out, Sub-Zero. Big Chill founders Orion Creamer and Thom Vernon have cooked up a product to rival the stainless-steel fridge. The company’s ’50s-style version has the swoopy lines and eclectic colors of the Jetsons set and offers modern features. (The candy-colored metal exterior is affixed to a new Whirlpool model.) Big Chill was started in 2001, when Vernon, 47, asked his nephew Creamer, 27, a product designer, to create a fridge that would fit in with Vernon’s newly renovated 1920s-style bungalow in Montecito, Calif. The Big Chill comes in eight colors, including jadite green, beach blue, and cherry red. bigchillfridge.com
