Drying racks are a household staple. Whether you air-dry your clothes regularly to save energy, or hang just those items you can’t throw in the dryer, chances are you have one lying around. They’re great, but we’ll be honest: we have yet to find one that suits all our needs.
So for this week’s brief, we’re challenging the community: let’s make an innovative drying rack.
Here are some questions to start you off:
What will you be drying? (Clothing is a given, but consider other items like coats, raingear, shoes, lingerie, etc.)
Where will you keep the drying rack? How can you optimize space?
How will you store the drying rack when not in use? Does it collapse or fold flat?
How can we maximize drying efficiency?
And that’s just the beginning. Submission are free, and the deadline is May 16th at 12 noon ET. Show us what you’ve got!

What about dishes? They’re the first thing that came to mind when you said drying rack.

Good question. We’re going to concentrate on racks for clothing this week.

Works for me either way… I’ve been washing my clothes in the dishwasher for years…

Shirley, what happened with the other drying rack for college round? Is that not the same thing, or was this exclusive to BB&B??
