This build was for the author themselves, so as long as they like it, it was successful. But it's also a great example of the sort of elegant problem solving engineers (like my dad... Almost exactly) would implement unilaterally without consulting the people that use the kitchen far more than he does. This is why designers exist.

- chefandy 3y agoLike I said, since the author made it for themselves, it's successful if they like it. But as a former chef with an art degree that tertiarily included both sculpture and interior design, I disagree that the decorative component of this furniture makes up for the lack of utility in the way most people use canned food.
