About SSS Litter Bin Udendørs Genbrugsbakke

Dette projekt blev indledt på Urban Design Festival 2017, med temaet "At skabe bedre byliv gennem design", en designkampagne, der er co-produceret af Urban China Magazine og AssBook. Xu Zhifeng blev inviteret som designer til at renovere en lille del - 20 kuldbakke på Yuyuan Road, der nyder et evigt ry for sin kulturelle og arkitekturiske skønhed og værdi. Efter samtale med sanitetsarbejderne besluttede Xu at kun beholde de samme foringer og eks-dimensioner, skabe et helt nyt syn på minimalt materiale, detaljer, tegn og farver, maksimale funktioner i skraldespanden indlejre en rygestation.

Production Technology
Full body welding of 304 stainless steel with fine brush finishes. Metallic baking paint and silk printed signs.
Design Challenge
Budget control, door hinge and T.C.L.
Research
Site interviews with sanitation workers, to collect their opinions of how to redesign and make their work easier. Mapping the existing local bins and analyse the extras on visual communication etc. Budget control.
Inspiration
How to use design to change the dirty images of sanitation facilities, turning the ordinary and the functional into a quality design or even a 'luxury' piece, by purifying the information and reducing the details to earn a respect from the users back to the sanitation workers and themselves. However design is not the single solution but to provide a better hardware to the systematic management, perhaps a smart one.
Project Duration
This project took part of the Urban Design Festival 2017 Shanghai, replacing firstly 20 existing bins on Yuyuan Road, between Dingxi Road and Jiangsu Road, more info click http://www.nnndf.org
Operation Flow
The sanitation workers felt happier when maintaining the new bins, since less labor is required to keep all corners clean. One shop owner sent a drink gift to the designer at inspection, because the colours told her immediately where to drop the trashes, instead of reading carefully in different languages etc.
