Washing clothes by hand can be a hassle sometimes, but the Hand Washing Pond makes the ordeal a whole lot easier.
Designers Zhong-Fa Lie & Yoori Koo are students from the Seoul National University of Science and Technology. The Hand Washing Pond is a ridged cover that is placed in your sink and gets rid of the need to crouch down or use a washboard.
With a design that can be utilized by practically everyone, it's no surprise that the Hand Washing Pond won the silver medal for the 2011 IDEA awards.
