A clean kitchen is a triumph of the modern era. Show this to a caveman or a renaissance era scholar and claim two middle-age adults with at least one child and a dog accomplished it in less than an hour. They will praise it as a miracle.

I prefer the Dutch cabinet (I think that’s what they’re called) is what I want. It’s basically that except it’s in a cabinet.
If space was at a premium, sure, but I'd hate to have this in our kitchen.
Unless that window has a view of a brick wall I agree. Also butcher block with a drying rack dripping on it isn't gonna last long.
I just have a dishwasher so this would be a bit overkill.
So, the art is a bit deceiving. We have a few things that can't go in the dishwasher - the espresso pot which would be ruined in the machine, a few bigger pots and serving bowls that don't fit neatly, some of my son's high chair components that get gunked between meals, our nice set of enameled chopsticks that need to be hand-washed - and this works great to keep them out of the sink while we're doing the rest of the kitchen.
But I agree, there's no reason 90% of the image art stuff can't just go in the dishwasher normally.
Those knives would get absolutely backsplashed by bacteria.
They'd also be very difficult to place and remove.

I have one of these and it's pretty cool. The knife holder thing sucks ass though, idk who thought that was a good idea.
Lots of folks saying “why don’t you just dry and put your dishes away?” but I have this exact model and use it mainly for storage. Zero cabinet space in my tiny kitchen. With this I can actually own enough plates and bowls to feed guests!

Looks neat and space efficient, but I have questions about why someone keeps fruit next to the dishes.
Don't worry, they're plastic.
Looks terrible. I can't use the sink without worrying about splashing the clean dishes. Disgusting. And they're practically just hanging in my way.
How would you possibly splash dishes so high above the sink?
This is normal in Italy. Just the rack would be higher.
We just got one of these a couple weeks ago, my mom and I got to crack up over this, thank you. Who knows how many more laughs I'll be able to share with her before death comes knocking.
You know how to take your dish rack to the next level? Slap some large googly eyes on that bad boy. Surpise your mom. Make those memories.
Actually this is an abomination and I hate it
I would be bothered by having low clearance above the sink to do dishes, even if it was practically enough room.
A side rack with drainage into the sink is ideal for handwashing dishes, anything more or less complicated than that is going to be endless headaches. This thing looks unstable as fuck.
Imagine pumping soap from the dispenser while the top rack has several plates and pots and pans (and fruit??) on it.
