Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: A modest unification with bold contrast of maximised functionality and capacity to minimised material and finish, i.e. largest opening for dropping trashes from two sides, painted interior with two vivid colours to indicate recyclable and the others, both user friendly for pedestrians and cyclists. Additionally, the upward design ashtray collector, offer better social smoking stations under Shanghai's restricted indoor banned smoking policy. Optimised conductors also simplified maintenance works.
Dimensions & Packaging: 900mm x 400mm x 1000mm
40L can liner x2
5L removable ashtray
Tags: SSS Municipal Litter Bin, Outdoor Rubbish Can, Smoking Station, Street Furniture
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.
