Add the Socks Dryer to the list of conceptual appliances I wish were real. Designed by Kamil Laszuk, the Socks Dryer is exactly what its name suggests -- a dryer designer solely to dry socks.
The Socks Dryer is compact, "not much bigger than a can of coke" according to Laszuk. What the dryer lacks in size it makes up for in usefulness and usability. The dryer is powered via a wall out and can dry one pair of socks at a time. The dryer has small fans in it like a hair dryer that release warm air through the dryers perforations. The air dries the socks and the stand also vibrates to make the socks appear vibrant. This dryer would be great for those times when you don't want to waste money on the dryer if all you need is one warm pair of socks.
