Floating Cutlery

Making Dish Duty Less Disgusting

The after-dinner sink can be a scary place: bowls of cold water with frothy films of scum; chunks of water-logged bread and bits of chewed up gristle. Soon, piled-up dishes block the drain, allowing the sink to fill to the point where no one wants to stick their hands into it.

Seongyong Lee has come up with a solution. He designed Floating Cutlery, utensils with built-in floats to keep them above the murky depths.
