Go with the flow

I love the brilliant simplicity of John Arndt’s master’s thesis project, the Flow Kitchen. John designed the kitchen workstation to utilize natural processes (like gravity, evaporation, decomposition and growth) and create a symbiotic little ecosystem. The dishrack drains onto the herbs or other edibles stored below it. Food scraps go into a little cup that flips over into a worm composter, which – you guessed it – produces compost for the herbs. Nice.

  1. That is too cool. I’m always carrying pots of cooled water from cooking, or from spinning salad to my plants, and scheming how to get a grey water catchment system in place.
