Sink Organisms
Hygienic Kitchen Storage
Brief
• Identifying a product design opportunity within the theme of Kitchen Storage.
• Hygiene being a critical aspect of cooking, this project is about creating a hygienic dish-washing supplies holder.
• The final product would be aimed at people who can’t afford a dishwasher (students, families living in a flat, etc.) and would be sold in affordable furnishing stores (B&M, Tesco, etc.).
Solution
• A set of three holders that minimise stagnation and allow each type of supply to dry properly. It includes:
• A sponge holder that squeezes the sponge and directs the water into the sink.
• A holder for any supply with an irregular shape (iron scrub, sponge cloth, etc.). Water droplets are guided into the sink by miniature bumps.
• A holder for any supply with an irregular shape (iron scrub, sponge cloth, etc.). Water droplets are guided into the sink by miniature bumps.
• A rag holder that dries them quicker by keeping them vertical and untouched.
• As the kitchen sink can be a dull area, these products were given organic shapes inspired from seaweeds to make it more lively.
