architectural artistry transcends humdrum household ware into a harmonious form and function showpiece. Intent on turning “something quite mundane into something spectacular,” creative partners, Dan Black and Martin Blum, designed a sturdy, sculptural rack with fragile glassware as the protective focus.

The Calatrava-esque solution allows delicate glasses to safely air dry. A sleek cupholder for cutlery adds a design-conscious accent to the accessory, topped off by the rack’s spot-on flip up spout for water drainage.
Made from easy-to-clean polypropylene and stainless steel, the no-fuss High & Dry offers a collapsible and compact answer to an urbanite’s cramped but creative-minded kitchen.

Available in white, green or grey, the High & Dry dishrack retails for $50.


Fetching Dog Shampoo

Lather up pooches with Skinnyskinny’s organically moisturizing bar soap

The “people-tested” Fetching Dog Shampoo from Brooklyn-based body care brand Skinny Skinny works on any pup, but was created specifically for dogs with sensitive skin. Comprised of all organic ingredients like rosemary, citronella and ylang ylang, the potent suds keep insects at a distance while loading up on moisture to alleviate irritation.

The handmade bar soap, designed to be a mutually beneficial experience for both owner and dog, creates a nice low-foam lather. Skinny Skinny’s shampoo is 100% carbon neutral, purchasing wind-powered electricity to fuel their small-batch operation and carbon credits for everything else. They also use recycled paper and soy-based inks for their no-frills packaging.

Skinny Skinny Organic Fetching Dog Shampoo sells online for $8 per bar, or from their shop in Brooklyn, along with a nice assortment of products for people.
