If space was at a premium, sure, but I'd hate to have this in our kitchen.

Unless that window has a view of a brick wall I agree. Also butcher block with a drying rack dripping on it isn't gonna last long.
A clean kitchen is a triumph of the modern era. Show this to a caveman or a renaissance era scholar and claim two middle-age adults with at least one child and a dog accomplished it in less than an hour. They will praise it as a miracle.
Im sure the caveman would be impressed, probably more by the knives than any organizational aspect, but i feel like scholars in the renaissance had plenty of experience this keeping things organized. This picture of an alchemy workshop is like organizational goals for me. Its full but not cluttered and it looks cozy as fuck. 
Its full but not cluttered and it looks cozy as fuck.
I guess we're operating on different definitions of "cluttered". Although, I'll happily cede it looks cozy, I would be afraid to swing my elbows without knocking over something extremely rare and expensive.
Those knives would get absolutely backsplashed by bacteria.
They'd also be very difficult to place and remove.

Just wait until you discover the dishwasher.
I wanted to put a rack for those dishwasher trays into a regular cupboard, so that we could have basically a real dishwasher for dirty stuff, and a cupboard for clean stuff so that we never have to empty it.
My husband Veto'd it, because "that's the epitome of laziness". Which I think is exactly the point, but whatever. It's his job to empty the dishwasher now, which solves the problem too.

And then you get to a point where you look at that and think “clever but I’m sure it’s fucked up in some way that isn’t immediately obvious.”
I can't figure out how you'd actually get a knife in those slots with the ledge above it.

Looks neat and space efficient, but I have questions about why someone keeps fruit next to the dishes.

Maiju Gebhard (September 15, 1896, in Helsinki – July 18, 1986, in Helsinki) was a Finnish inventor who invented the dish drying cabinet as the head of the household department at the Finnish Work Efficiency Institute in 1944 and 1945. She was the only child of economist Hannes Gebhard and politician Hedvig Gebhard.

Thats a pathetic little kitchen faucet. Real grownups use professional multi-spray kitchen faucets with removable head and swivel action...

I have one of these and it's pretty cool. The knife holder thing sucks ass though, idk who thought that was a good idea.
I'm old, and I actually hate this...
How awkward it must be to try to remove the knives. And why is the fruit in the top right? The cutting boards are going to leak all over the counter after you wash them.
Also, I have a dishwasher... So this is just a great way to block the window in front of most sinks for no good reason.

I prefer the Dutch cabinet (I think that’s what they’re called) is what I want. It’s basically that except it’s in a cabinet.
Lots of folks saying “why don’t you just dry and put your dishes away?” but I have this exact model and use it mainly for storage. Zero cabinet space in my tiny kitchen. With this I can actually own enough plates and bowls to feed guests!

It's the double sink that gets me. I've lived in places with a double sink. I do not have a double sink right now.
I need double sink in my life.

I just have a dishwasher so this would be a bit overkill.
So, the art is a bit deceiving. We have a few things that can't go in the dishwasher - the espresso pot which would be ruined in the machine, a few bigger pots and serving bowls that don't fit neatly, some of my son's high chair components that get gunked between meals, our nice set of enameled chopsticks that need to be hand-washed - and this works great to keep them out of the sink while we're doing the rest of the kitchen.
But I agree, there's no reason 90% of the image art stuff can't just go in the dishwasher normally.
