Maiju Gebhard (September 15, 1896, in Helsinki – July 18, 1986, in Helsinki) was a Finnish inventor who invented the dish drying cabinet as the head of the household department at the Finnish Work Efficiency Institute in 1944 and 1945. She was the only child of economist Hannes Gebhard and politician Hedvig Gebhard.
I love this concept. The big problem is that a lot of American kitchens are (weirdly) modeled after old farmhouses where the sink was always under the one window in the whole room. The trend is absolutely hostile to this idea.
I like these a lot better since the dishes are put a lot higher, meaning more space to move between the shelf and the sink. Guess this makes me no longer young.
It’s also super cool that they had a productivity institute before. I wonder what we could have achieved with something like that today.
There are so many ways we could make society more efficient for everyone. Companies mostly focus on smaller issues for consumers, but society could have a more overarching look, and not focus on profits, but on quality of life and efficiency.

It’s nice to look out while you are washing the dishes.

I’ve also seen these in Italy. Quite genious.
Wait they’re not common elsewhere?
I have not seen them in Germany nor in Sweden
Genious.
Glorius, even.
Yeah, and not just Ikea stuff either, local brands there offer this too.
(I actually don’t really like the concept, but would def think about it if for some reason I would stop using dishwashers.)
