One of our favorite categories of ID is homewares -- tools to help everyday people do the things they love to do best -- and we're looking forward to seeing what the upcoming annual International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago has in store for us. At this year's preview event, we were excited to see space-saving and ergonomic products covering all areas of homewares.

Fresh off their Good Design Award, Aladdin debuted their innovative line of collapsible storage and serving bowls. The above is their Collapsible Salad Set which not only has a removable colander, but 3 smaller leak-proof collapsible ingredient containers that can be nestled and stored in the Salad Set Lid. Check out the 3-bowl "lunch" set, Steamer Set after the jump! Stay tuned for more exciting news from the International Home and Housewares Show!
