Waste Not That Drip Water

Did you know you potentially waste gallons of water every year just from your dishes drip drying? It’s true. Why not put that drip water to good use by using the Planter Dish Drip. It’s plastic and can hold several dishes at one time. The water drips into the plant below so everyone’s happy. A total win-win situation. However clever you think this is you may have to wait to get one because for now, it’s just another concept from Erdem Selek.

Food Stays Fresher, Longer

We all know freezing is a great way to preserve food before we cook it, but what about food we’ve already prepared. At most they only last a few days in the fridge before spoiling and freezing is usually not an option since flavor and nutrients degrade that way. The Air Storage keeps cooked food at a constant 60ºC via thermal energy.

Modular Dishwasher by Anna Lopez

The dishwasher is integrated as a cabinet unit easing the workload in the kitchen. Both compartments wash independently meaning that the user does not have to worry about unloading the dishes when they are clean, unlike conventional dishwashers. This gives the user a more ergonomic handling of the dishes and concentrates on a user-friendly approach.
