Design

The philosophy behind this compact kitchen unit is to reconsider the notion of ‘waste’ in the kitchen, particularly with organic matter and water. The most prominent function is an under-sink garbage disposal system that separates organic waste from water; depositing it into a separate bin. The bin may then be removed, and particlised fruit and vegetable matter can then be added to compost or spread over garden beds. Additional features include a chopping board and a tray that may be used as a surface for washing vegetables or, alternately, as a dish drying rack. The unit is a response to current unsustainable waste disposal practices, as well as increasing trends in urbanisation and downsized living arrangements.
