A neat do-it-yourself design from Make Magazine, the Dish Drainer Project puts water from drying dishes to use in a potted plant. This reminiscent of the water conservation in the previously-posted toilet-top faucet, but let's face it, a little less off-putting. Besides, it's an excuse to get an additional potted plant in the home - which adds beauty, oxygen, and "good karma," for whatever that's worth. What's best about the design is that it doesn't even look too foreign to the plant itself - those spokes look enough like plant branches to fit in. Beauty and usability, plus conservation and household greenery... not bad!
Product design use and usability, designs new and old, inspired and unspired. The little things that matter.
