Cacti

This is a concept for drying wet hand gloves. Usually there is no defined place for keeping the hand gloves after we have used them for dish washing or cleaning. A little amount of water can also seep into the inner side and create discomfort or even skin irritation, during its subsequent use. ‘Cacti’ is made up of two main brigt green colored stems placed on a base. Each main stem has five smaller branches. The branches are arranged to hang the pair of hand gloves. Just like the real cactus plant that requires very little water, the ‘Cacti’ concept helps to dry the gloves by draining whatever little moisture there is on its surfaces. It thus provides a defined & hygienic place for a useful accessory.

The green pods on the stems could be made out of porous material so that a small negative air pressure could be created between them and the wet glove. This negative pressure is created by a small vacuum pump running on a AA cell kept in the base. The negative air pressure will ensure an air circulation path which will get flowing air all over inside the glove, so that you wont’ get the typical “stale-moist” smell.
