Soap Bank

The ‘Soap bank’ by Wooteik Lim helps save small pieces of soap to avoid waste. This product is made of a rubber material which can be attached to the bathroom wall. The soap shelf has a small hole in the middle for disposal of soap stubs too small to be used.  These stubs fall below to the net of ‘Soap bank’, which collect the small pieces and allows for better foaming.

Cutting Board Scale

This concept by Jim Termeer and Jess Giffin is a cutting board that has an integrated scale within a defined area on it's surface. This allows a person to both cut and measure ingredients on the same surface with very little extra effort. Simply put, it precisely reduces the steps of preparation, dishes to clean, and time wasted. 

Optimally, the display would use electronic ink, embedded in the cutting board substrate.  Currently, the technology for the creation of this technology is under development.
