# Thorny Dish Racks Hedgehog Dish Drainer By Ayman | Published 2008-05-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hedgehog-dish-drainer References: [trendsnow.net](http://www.trendsnow.net/trends_now_/2008/05/egouttoir-hriss.html) & [perigot.fr](http://www.perigot.fr/en/BIO-TECHNO-1/EGOUTTOIR-2/EGOUTTOIR-HERISSON-EN-KIT-CUEV020.htm) I never thought I could be excited about a dish drainer, but the [Egouttoir Herisson En Kit](http://www.perigot.fr/en/BIO-TECHNO-1/EGOUTTOIR-2/EGOUTTOIR-HERISSON-EN-KIT-CUEV020.htm) looks more like an art sculpture than a tool to hold your dishes while they dry... The unusual design of the *Egouttoir Herisson En Kit* is inspired by hedgehogs, utilizing the aesthetics of the spines with variable height to [hold the dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whirlpool-spinload-rack). Measuring at 48 x 24 CM, the artsy dish drainer comes in black or white and sells for 22 euros. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artistic Dish Drainers:** Innovative dish drainers that feature unique designs that transform them into a piece of art. - **Animal-inspired Housewares:** Designs inspired by animals create a whimsical and unique touch to everyday items. - **Functional Sculptures:** Products that serve a practical purpose but also have a sculptural quality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchenware:** Kitchen tools and utensils that have a playful design element integrated with function. - **Home Decor:** Innovative designs that provide practical solutions while making a statement in home decor. - **Gifts and Novelties:** Whimsical products that enhance the joy of gifting and provide a unique touch to everyday life. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Animal-Themed Cleaning Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koala-sponges.md) - [Playful Sponge Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sponge-holder1.md) - [Compact Portable Dish Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-rack-2.md) - [Removable Plate Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gere-multifunctional-crockery-shelf.md) - [Sustainable Rounded Dish Sponges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-sponge.md) - [Chic Matching Kitchen Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-essentials.md) - [Creative Dipping Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-sea.md) - [Elephant-Inspired Countertop Dishwashers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elle.md) - [Minimalist Experimental Egg Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-egg-racks.md)
