A Flatpack Drying Rack Set (and a Puzzling Materials Choice)

Aurea, by industrial designer Ernest Perera

This Aurea set of objects is by veteran industrial designer Ernest Perera. It consists of a dish drying rack, a cup drying rack and a wine bottle rack, all of them flatpack.

I could see the set being useful in a camper van, where you're trying to minimize the space things take up when tucked away. However, the materials choice baffles me: It's listed as "stratify wood." Perera hails from Spain, so it's perhaps a translation issue, and possibly refers to layers of laminated veneer, but wood still seems like a poor choice for something that's going to get regularly wet.
