Surface run-off of water is bad and extremely wasteful whether it happens on soil surface in natural settings or in our bathrooms and kitchens. To tackle with the wasteful procedures at least for the bathroom low-flow showers and taps have been introduced but what about kitchenware? Thanks to designer Ran Shnaper, now the previously wasteful dish drying racks gets a new eco-friendly design. This new green dish drying rack is designed in a manner that it can grow your leafy herbs and spices like mint, thyme or lemon verbena. The designer has drawn inspiration from traditional farming technique- channel irrigation.

Unlike ordinary dish drying racks in this one, the run-off water gets directed to a small section- the bed of your herbs. To add to the green quotient, even the dividers are tree-shaped. Cool concept it is. Only that let’s see when does this eco dish drying rack hits the market shelves. Whenever it does, I’m going to pick one for me definitely!
