Take-Away Sink – Jessica Nebel (Germany)

Whilst washing vegetables or cleaning the dishes we leave the tap open even though we do not need the water the whole time. Ordinary sinks make us lazy and add to the wastage of water. The "Take-Away Sink" is a flexible device that encourages the saving of water by enabling the re-usage of it.

For example, Take-Away Sink offers the possibility to bring the nutritious water from cleaning vegetables to your plants without the need of an extra bucket. Further, it helps you to carry your laundry to the clothes horse after washing it by hand and there is no extra bucket that needs to be stored. (Often it's too big for filling it conveniently in an ordinary kitchen sink anyway.)

The Take-Away Sink combines different components (like a swivel-mounted child step) which are movable, can rotate, or be removed to suit everyone's requirements. The bucket rests on a slightly deepened base which can be used as a second sink when the bucket is removed. Consisting of spun aluminium, the sink is lightweight and therefore easy to carry; rubber handles add to the comfort.
