1. A vacuum adiabatic body, comprising:
a first plate;
a second plate;
a vacuum space provided between the first plate and the second plate; and
at least one reinforcing frame installed in at least one corner portion of the vacuum adiabatic body so as to reinforce strength of the vacuum adiabatic body,
wherein at least one of the first plate or the second plate comprises a first plane and a second plane to define the at least one corner portion, and
wherein the at least one reinforcing frame comprises a first portion installed at the first plane and a second portion bent from the first portion and installed at the second plane, the first portion and the second portion being provided inside the vacuum space.
