Conventional clothespins and clothing pegs are often constructed using multiple materials that will head to the landfill upon breakage, so the 'Blip' clothing peg has been designed as a more eco-friendly alternative. The mono-material peg is crafted entirely from rubber and features a flat design that requires the pin to be held in place with a snap to create tension. This will enable the pin to effectively hold clothing on the clothesline when drying without the need for metal coils.
The 'Blip' clothing peg is the design work of Rutvik Jadhav who spoke further on the project saying, "Blip is a two-month personal project where I tried to redesign a clothing peg. I believe in Dieter Ram’s principles and have tried to apply them to all that I create. My aim to create that can conserve the ecosystem and help humanity too. That is why I designed Blip – a sustainable, innovative, and distinct clothing peg."
