Another John Ratzenberger video. This guy is the unofficial spokesman for American manufacturing. I hope he is successful in getting his message out. Support him if you can.

Don’t let the name fool you. Swedish Designs makes solid hardwood cookware racks right here in America. The design styles are European, but the materials - maple and beech - are very common and sustainable woods in the central and eastern forests of the United States.

These racks are meant to show off your cookware. There are principles which guide their style: “We adhere to the Swedish Design philosophy of using high quality materials, economy of materials, simple pleasing lines, minimal ornamentation, and appreciation of the item itself.” These racks look good on their own, but they also get out of the way and let the beauty of your cookware be the center of attention.

Swedish Designs cookware racks are made by two woodworking shops, one in Pennsylvania and one in Indiana. They have an online store, where you can see all their products.

Supporting businesses like Swedish Designs is good for America. The materials are home grown, sustainable, and non-toxic. The workers are skilled. And the product is well designed and beautiful.
