Kitchen Sink Stand 3000The filmColoursSpecs

Your sponge lives in a puddle?

Meet the Kitchen Sink Stand 3000. It lifts your sponge and dish soap off the wet counter and sends the water back into the sink. We nearly called it the 1000, but 3000 sounds cooler.

From a sketch to your sink.

  1. A sketch.Two compartments, a row of ribs and one little spout. Drawn in four minutes, argued about for four weeks.
  2. Some engineering.We tilted everything just enough for water to run downhill. Gravity did the rest. Gravity always does the rest.
  3. Real plastic.Printed layer by layer, in whatever filament was loaded that day.

The keynote, in two minutes.

Two minutes of keynote energy for something that holds a sponge. Rendered in Blender, narrated with a very straight face.

We fact-checked our own film.

  • True

    “Precision-engineered from plastic.” 3D-printed, layer by layer. Very real plastic.

  • True

    “Ribs. Three millimetres each.” We measured. Twice, to be safe.

  • True

    “It drains water using gravity.” Works every time. Gravity has never let us down.

  • Unverified

    “Productivity is up 400 %.” Our study had one kitchen in it. Ours.

  • False

    “Built-in wireless charging.” That’s a cable, and sponges aren’t electric. Yet.

It drains with gravity.

A breakthrough technology that’s been around for about 13.8 billion years. Water runs down the ribs, out of the little spout at the front and back into the sink - where it was heading anyway.

Front view, not to scale. In our hearts, it’s to scale.

Zero buttons. Zero apps.

Finally, something in your kitchen that doesn’t need an update, a password or a firmware night.

Independent studies agree.

Dishwashing productivity is up 400 %. And happiness? Off the charts. Literally - we had to make the chart bigger.

The stand presented like jewellery in a red velvet box, a sparkle on its corner

It’s not just a stand.

It’s the heart of your kitchen. Let your friends and cousins be a little jealous - and if anyone asks what you want for your birthday, you know the answer.

  • Your family will gather around it.
  • Your guests will ask about it.
  • Nobody will look away.

Fits your soap. And sponges. Mostly.

Compatible with your favourite dish soaps and nearly every sponge we’ve met. Soap on the left, sponge on the right, and the ribs keep both out of the wet.

Fully loaded. One bottle, one sponge, zero puddles.

Future-proof. The cable in the film is for when sponges go electric. They haven’t yet. We’re ready.

And next: the 4000 Pro Max.

Ribs not three, but three and a half millimetres thick. Half a millimetre of pure innovation.
