Grating bucket - Award-winning product design of 2009
Traditional graters must be used with a plate or board to stop the grated food from spreading and making a mess.

The 2009 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) competition winners have just been announced. Co-sponsored by BusinessWeek magazine and the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), the awards are "dedicated to fostering business and public understanding of the importance of industrial design excellence to the quality of life and economy", says the IDSA.
