Dish + Hand

We set out to disrupt dish again through design thinking. Our insight was that the kitchen sink is valuable real estate: the hub of the home, where guests gather and homeowners invest in premium surfaces and finishes. The products around the sink reflect a person’s style.

We grounded the work in landscape analysis, cross-functional workshops, competitive product testing, and research into the surfaces, objects, and color trends shaping today’s kitchens. Ideation and rounds of 3D-printed prototypes led to six concept directions, from farm-fresh naturals to chef-inspired tools and aluminum limited editions.

We landed on a unified dish and hand platform delivered in two formats. A clear PET pump bottle kept the pump and translucent look that method’s dish customers knew and loved. Alongside it, a soft-touch HDPE pour bottle pushed the design language further: an ownable silhouette, silk-screened graphics, a minimal closure using 88% less plastic, smoke-colored closures to maximize recycled content, and a compact footprint that fits more sinks. An evolved, decor-driven color palette tied fragrance and color together across both.

The line won a Silver Pentaward in 2020.
