Retro styled mini vending machine at Neiman Marcus

Vending_machine

Mini fridges in various guises have been around for some time, and they always seem to surface around this time of year in aid of students. Whether it’s for yourself or for a retro style loving friend, this 50s styled mini vending machine is one of the best looking.

It holds 18 cans of soft drink and dispenses them quickly and easily. Keeping them chilled, it’s portable too. The best part is the mock chrome additions which make this piece of kit wonderfully kitsch.

It’s available online from Neiman Marcus for $160.
