Contemporary Dust Catchers

The paNBin Dust Collector Busts Dust in the Most Modern Way Possible

— December 31, 2011 — Art & Design
The paNBin dust collector could very well be the most modern dustpan ever made. This classy dust receptacle was designed by Sudhanwa Chavan as a way of both saving space and classing up the home.

The paNBin dust collector gets its unique name from the fact that it is both a dustpan and a dustbin. PaNBin has a unique shape that makes it look as if it's being sucked down a black hole with its body slowly losing size as it goes down. The ultra-modern look and multifunctional capabilities of Chavan's design are a winning combination. Many common household items have been given a contemporary look, but the dustbin/pan has somehow eluded the grasp of modern design, until now that is.
Trend Themes
1. Multifunctional Household Items - The paNBin dust collector highlights the demand for household items that can be used in multiple ways, creating innovative opportunities for product designers.
2. Space-saving Design - The paNBin dust collector's unique shape and multifunctional capabilities highlight the need for space-saving designs of household objects, leading to opportunities for companies to create innovative products for smaller living spaces.
3. Modern Design of Traditional Objects - Chavan's design demonstrates a demand for modern design of traditional household items, opening up opportunities for product designers to create updated versions of everyday objects.
Industry Implications
1. Home Goods - The paNBin dust collector could inspire home goods companies to create trendier and more multifunctional products.
2. Product Design - Chavan's innovative design challenges product design companies to think beyond traditional creations and develop new products for modern living environments.
3. Space-saving Furniture Design - The paNBin dust collector demonstrates the need for companies to design innovative and unique space-saving furniture for modern living spaces.
