Paxton is a pull-out dish rack designed for kitchen storage. The base is made of food-grade polypropylene, formed by injection molding, and the rim is made of 304 stainless steel with rounded corners. The sliding structure uses stainless steel precision rails with a buffer for smooth movement. The depth is adjusted by hand from 330 to 560 millimeters, so the rack fits different kitchen layouts. The non-slip base and the metal rim keep dishes stable. Paxton is contracted to its smallest size for transport and storage, which saves space.

- Production Technology
- This product is produced with material compatibility and structural precision as its core. The base is made of food-grade PP plastic, formed by injection molding, which is stable and free of burrs. The metal edge is made of 304 stainless steel, processed through multiple procedures, with rounded corners to prevent scratches. The sliding structure is paired with stainless steel precision slides, which are smooth and durable. The nested contraction design does not require additional accessories and saves a lot of space when contracted.
- Design Challenge
- The core innovation of this product is the integration of dual functions: pull-out adaptability and retractable transportation. It breaks the size limitations of traditional dish racks, achieving dual improvements in both household usability and industrial efficiency. The challenges encountered are: 1. the stability and aesthetic appeal of the connection between the plastic and metal rims; 2. the balance between the smoothness, load-bearing capacity, and retraction stability of the slide rails.
- Project Duration
- The project commenced in Shenzhen in March 2025 and was completed in November 2025.
- Operation Flow
- This pull-out dish rack is user-friendly, requiring no assembly and ready to use right out of the box. It starts at its minimum contracted size, and users can manually pull the side rims to adjust and fit different kitchen spaces. The slide rails feature a buffer design for a smooth and effortless gliding experience. The plastic base is non-slip, while the metal rims prevent dishes from sliding off. For storage, it can be directly contracted without the need for disassembly.
- Research
- This study focuses on the adaptability of kitchen storage products. Targeting the core pain points of traditional dish racks, a pull-out and retractable dish rack has been developed. Through various research methods, suitable materials and structural solutions were selected, and the load-bearing capacity of the base, the durability of the slide rails, and the rationality of the retractable mechanism were optimized. Meanwhile, the design ensures convenient daily cleaning and simple, easy-to-understand operation.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the pain points of modern kitchen space and logistics needs, urban kitchens vary greatly in layout. Traditional dish racks have fixed sizes, large transportation packaging and poor adaptability. Based on this, combined with the retractable concept, a pull-out structure is developed to realize size adjustment. The plastic base is non-slip and stable, and the metal rim enhances durability, which not only solves users' usage problems but also improves transportation efficiency.
