Rub-A-Way Bar

client: Crate & Barrel

Another unique and challenging design. Stainless-Steel has the natural property of removing odors such as fish, garlic or onions from the user’s hands.

Fishermen have long kept a piece of Stainless-Steel with them to easily remove the undesirable scent of fish. This design brings that concept from the wharf to the kitchen and was a top seller at Crate & Barrel for many, many years.

One of the many challenges of this design was to create just the right ergonomic curvature to fit comfortably in the user’s hand while conveying the impression of a bar of soap.
