Doubling as office or kitchen storage, the Inception [desk organizer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tower-desk1)/dish rack is the latest creation from Italian designer Luca Nichetto. At first glance, this cleverly designed accessory resembles a scale model of the Manhattan peninsula but is proven to be much more than just a [decorative sculpture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ilan) upon closer inspection.

While the object can be displayed purely as a decorative item, its unique design allows it to serve as a unique storage element. The object can be used to hold envelopes and documents in offices or it can be equipped with plates and glasses, making it a cool concept for a drying dish rack.

Inspired by Christopher Nolan's 2010 feature film Inception, this storage accessory by designer Lucian Nichetto leaves users with an endless amount of [creative storage possibilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelf-life).
