Sanitation has become of paramount importance in the home during the ongoing pandemic, which is something the conceptual 'Desktop Disinfection Cupboard' is focused on helping with. The minimalist micro appliance is designed to be positioned on a countertop and providing users with a way to thoroughly sanitize kitchen items between uses. This includes dishes, utensils and other essentials to ensure they are free from contaminants in a hassle-free way.
The conceptual 'Desktop Disinfection Cupboard' is the design work of Wenhua Xu (许文华 ) and Top Design (托迪 设计), and makes use of ultraviolet rays to eradicate bacteria. This eliminates the need for harsh chemical cleaners, which will prevent residue from remaining on the surface of dishes or flatware after cleaning.
