Design shocker: You don't know what Jasper Morrison's 'fridge looks like

Today Samsung launches their Jasper-Morrison-designed 'fridge, the Side-by-Side J-Series. Interestingly enough, the rash of blog posts announcing this product back in September all appear to be using the wrong photo--what people mistook for the J-series seems to be the RS21F model, below left; Morrison's design is below right. As you can see, the exteriors don't appear terribly different.

Samsung UK's product page makes no mention of one of the J-Series' blogger-ballyhooed design features: "a 'Z' shelf to maximise space usage and bottle storage." We'd hoped to have shots of these to show you but alas, getting Samsung to send a European-market 'fridge to our American offices for testing is something they're...cool on. (Sorry.)
