Umbra Buddy Flex Sink Caddy
A fun and flexible sink caddy, Buddy forms to your sink for a customizable and organizational storage solution. Buddy’s arms and legs can bend to any shape to hold your sponge or dish brush, without taking up too much space. Patented EU Design 008554679-0001.
Playful Design: This kitchen storage solution features Umbra's popular Buddy figurine, adding a playful touch to your kitchen sink
Flexible Form: Buddy sink caddy features elastic properties, allowing its arms and legs to be fully bended to best fit your dish sponge, brush or other cleaning tool
Integrated Drainage: This playful sink caddy features drainage holes so your sink scrubbers and brushes can dry quickly and stay odor-free
Fits A Variety Of Sinks: Buddy's large and flexible open loop allows it to fit fit all faucet necks or sink walls
This idea is based on my original Flex caddy in the Shape of Buddy from Alan Wisniewski
