Brilliant Kitchen Design: The Galley Sink with Sliding Accessories
By Rain Noe - May 28, 2012
As someone sorely lacking in kitchen space, I'm intensely covetous of the Galley Sink, a cleverly-designed system that greatly maximizes the functionality of a limited footprint.
The idea is simple: Two steps along each lengthwise edge allow you to slide a variety of accessories back and forth as needed, ranging from cutting boards to container-holding cutouts to racks and even a portable induction-style burner. Check it out:
I love how the narrator carefully enunciates "H-D-P-E" like it's some alien material.

Dave: Thank you! Hand washing dishes at the Galley is easy with the round sink accessory! Check out this video of hand-washing dishes at the Galley here: http://youtu.be/IyIRttLVIIw Jomy: The Kohler Stages Sink size is 45" wide and 12-3/4" of that is a slanted platform area, leaving roughly 32" to use as the actual sink. The Galley has three sizes to choose from (4', 5 1/2' and 7'), and every inch of the sink is usable. The Galley, when paired with the Signature Accessories, is the ULTIMATE work station!

The Kohler Stages sink is a similar concept. The Stages sink does not have as many accessories available however it is a tiny fraction of the price of the Galley Sink.!Report as spam

love it! reminds me of voctor papanek's coffee table design from 'nomadic furniture' where the table essentially is just legs and 2 rails into which plant pots, a record player and a magazine rack can all sit flush alongside tabletop panels. I am not sure about making the whole thing one enormous basin- that would be a lot of water to soak the dishes in, I suppose you are just meant to have a dishwasher?!Report as spam

Car Sharpie
My freshman year, there was a kid we used to call "Subway" because he was always the first to pass out at a party, and then everyone would start drawing on him with Sharpies. Despite his hard partying he was a good student, and one thing I know he learned...

German-Designed Bottle Opener That Doubles as a Bottle Closer
My beer-drinking friends will undoubtedly call me a sissy for this, but here goes: On a sunny Scottish afternoon, at a pub in Edinburgh I discovered the best beer I'd ever tasted: a local brew called Innis & Gunn that's matured in whisky barrels. Their Highland Cask 18 is beer...

A Lock That Learns
Although it's several years old, currently making the blog rounds is the BOLT line of locks. BOLT is an acroynm for Breakthrough One-key Lock Technology, and their line-up's key (ha) feature is that rather than coming with a set of keys, the locks "learn" your key, meaning that's one less...

Idealistic Urban Design: Streetside Charging Points and a City in the Sky
Two ideas for things we'll probably never see, but which would be nice if they could actually be realized. The first is Brooklyn-based Pensa Design's Street Charge, which would be so useful that I can't ever see the City of New York agreeing to install them. The concept is to...
