Branquia

Introduction

Nature employs various methods to separate water and food. One such mechanism is filter-feeding, utilized by several animals. For instance, whales possess hair-like textures in their mouths that capture food, while krill construct nests with their legs that feature small hair-like structures. Mantarays use their gills to allow water to exit their bodies, while they help transport food to their stomachs.

Concept

Branquia is a unique kitchen sink strainer that draws inspiration from the efficient filter-feeding filtration system of Manta Rays. The texture of Branquia is specifically designed to mimic Manta Rays' gill rakers, enabling it to capture even the smallest food particles without clogging.

Moreover, Branquia features soft flaps on both sides, which enable easy pick-up and hassle-free cleaning, effectively preventing any contact with food scraps.
