Nothing messes up an otherwise beautiful countertop more than a pile of pots and pans drying on a wire dishrack and, until now, there was no way to get rid of this visual clutter. The simplehuman steel frame dishrack revolutionises your countertop with fingerprint-proof stainless steel walls designed to hide dishes neatly out of sight while drying.

"Research is a vital component in simplehuman’s new product development," says simplehuman UK Commercial Director Kevin Clark. "One of the most common remarks we heard about dishracks generally is that they can look messy. The high sides of the steel frame dishrack cover the clutter and keep everything contained."

In addition to hiding the clutter and keeping dishes from slipping, the stainless steel walls are designed to match the clean lines and elegant appearance of professional kitchens. The extra large utensil holder has two storage compartments and a natural bamboo knife block that holds knives safely and is gentle on sharp blades.

Using similar technology to flip mobile phones, the steel frame dishrack also features innovative flip-up cup holders. These flip out to hold mugs and glasses and rest neatly out of the way when not in use, keeping the dishrack streamlined and clutter-free.

To answer the common complaint of cups dripping onto the countertop, there is an extendable drip tray which pulls out directly below the cup holders to catch drips. The drip tray also has a pivoting spout so excess water can be channelled directly into the sink.

Multiple storage options make it easy to keep dishes organised. Two rows of adjustable storage tines flip up to create slots for storing extra plates, and flip down to make room for holding larger pots and pans, and the optional feet included in each pack can be used to raise the dishrack higher in order to accommodate overmount sinks.

The steel frame dishrack is constructed of fingerprint-proof stainless steel, polished white ABS plastic and epoxy coated steel wire which is gentle on dishes. All parts are removable for easy cleaning, either in a dishwasher or by hand with warm, soapy water.

simplehuman transformed the rubbish bin with the introduction of the stainless steel "butterfly" bin in 2004. Today, simplehuman's mission to make people more efficient at home has resulted in a range of more than 100 products. All simplehuman products are designed to be ergonomic, easy-to-clean and durable. All products are made with the highest quality materials and are backed by a guarantee.
