'In-Sink' dishwasher, by Kitchenaid (scroll down for more)
Nothing spoils a dinner party more than the post-prandial washing up, which is why Kitchenaid’s ‘In-Sink’ dishwasher is such a boon. What appears to be a draining board lifts up on concealed hinges to reveal a deep recess that easily holds – and washes – assorted mixing bowls, pots and utensils. When folded down, it doubles as a chopping board.
