Polder Products, a Topspin Consumer Partners portfolio company and leading consumer housewares brand, has received a 2024 Chicago Athenaeum Good Design Award for excellence in product design, quality, and innovation for their Crescent Laundry Stand.
OXFORD, CONNECTICUT / ACCESSWIRE / January 9, 2025 / Polder developed the Crescent Laundry Stand as an innovative solution to drying items at home while using minimal space. Unlike freestanding dryers and airers, Polder's Crescent uses any vertical wall as support for placement and use. Two fold-out standing legs lean the dryer against any wall, while telescoping drying arms then extend up and out to hold items for drying.
Kerry Cooper, Polder's CEO states "We're very excited to be recognized with a 2024 Good Design award for our Crescent Laundry Stand. This item is a good example of our focus on creating solutions to storage and space problems in the home."
The 30" aluminum drying arms include recesses to hold items on hangers as well as hooks on the end for smaller items. The 37" standing height allows for larger items like beach towels and pants to dry without touching the floor. Lightweight and compact when closed, it stores easily in a closet. To operate, the user simply extends the two legs on the base into the locking position and leans the unit against a wall surface, so the spine is flat. The rubberized tips on the hanging arms are lifted vertically and then placed downward into the horizontal drying position. The spine and feet of the dryer use silicone rubber to create added surface adhesion for a firm hold that supports up 40 pounds of weight.
