A compact folding dish rack deployed when drying dishes. Soji creates an adaptive kitchen environment and eliminates the need of stationary dish racks that occupy usable space.
In the United States the kitchen counter top space averages 30 square feet. In urban areas this measurement can be much smaller. Most of this space is occupied by large stationary tools that do not adapt and move to the users cooking needs.
Common dish racks occupy 0.43 cubic feet that could be utilized for food prep. This large footprint can be transferred to different locations but the form cannot adapt to the environment.
