Dish Plug: A Customizable Dish Rack for Efficient Drying

Revolutionizing the Way Dishes Dry

A typical dishrack is designed to allow dishware to sit vertically to drain off excess water. However, deep plates, rice bowls, or bowls have to be stacked because of the narrow width between the partitions of the dishrack. This creates an unsanitary drying condition due to the lack of ventilation. Designer Jisu Mun recognized this issue and developed Dish Plug, a customizable dish rack that allows for all dishes to sit vertically, promoting natural airflow and easy drainage.

Dish Plug is a game-changer in the world of dish racks. Unlike traditional designs, this innovative solution offers users the ability to customize the partitions, accommodating a variety of different dishes and ensuring efficient drying. By allowing dishes and bowls to sit vertically, the water drains off easily, preventing the pooling of water between stacked dishes.

The unique feature of Dish Plug lies in its adjustable partitions. Users can install U-shaped partitions directly onto the dishrack, providing flexibility in accommodating dishes of various depths. The width of the partitions can be easily adjusted, ensuring a perfect fit for any dish. This customizable design allows for optimal drainage and ventilation, eliminating the risk of stagnant water and promoting hygienic drying.

The dishrack body and lid of Dish Plug are made from plastic injection molding, ensuring durability and ease of maintenance. With dimensions of 450 mm x 350 mm x 71.50 mm, this compact and functional design fits seamlessly into any kitchen space.

Jisu Mun embarked on the Dish Plug project in March 2016 in Paris, and it was completed in November 2016 in Seoul. The design was exhibited at the Canton Fair in October 2016, where it received practical advice from buyers from all over the world. The feedback received during the design process allowed for continuous refinement and improvement, resulting in a highly functional and user-friendly product.

Dish Plug has garnered recognition for its innovative design. In 2019, it was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware, and Cookware Design category. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Dish Plug's ability to integrate industry best practices and competent technical characteristics has contributed to its success and positive impact on the world.

With Dish Plug, drying dishes has never been easier or more efficient. Say goodbye to unhygienic drying conditions and hello to a customizable and effective solution for your kitchen. Upgrade your dish rack to Dish Plug and experience the difference it makes in your daily routine.
