The Drip-Dry Merry-Go-Round

Thursday August 28, 2008
La GiostraThe Conran Shop has a new wooden hanging clothes dryer called "la giostra" (merry-go-round). It's produced by Seletti, an Italian company, and made with kiln-dried moisture-resistant pine. According to a sales manager for the company, the houseware is an updated version of the "old-style dryer our grandmothers used to hang socks and underwear on the balcony."

Ciao,
The Drip-Dry Merry-Go-Round is fantastic. We bought one in Italy at an outside market and we use it everytime we travel.
We just hang it in the bathtub for laundered socks and underwear.
