The Design

About SSS Litter Bin 戶外回收箱

該項目於2017年城市設計節上發起，主題為“通過設計創造更美好的城市生活”，該設計活動由《都市中國》雜誌和AssBook共同製作。徐志峰應邀作為設計師翻新了豫園路的一小部分垃圾箱，該垃圾箱以其文化和建築的美感和價值而享有永久的聲譽。在接受環衛工人的採訪後，徐決定只保留相同的襯里和尺寸，以最少的材料，細節，標誌和顏色，最大的垃圾箱功能嵌入吸煙站來創造全新的面貌。

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.

Optimised conductors also simplified maintenance works.

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.
