The Alfred Dustpan Emulates the Room's Decor for a Spick and Span Atmosphere

— January 29, 2014 — Art & Design
The lovely Alfred dustpan set is for the proud and proficient homemaker. This beautiful tray and sweeper are not the sorts that you will want to hide behind a cupboard door, for they have been designed to complement your modern furnishings.

Left out in the open, the dust pan and broom will coordinate aesthetically with your timber pieces. Designer Tom Chludil was particularly inspired by the Charles and Ray Eames chairs made from bent plywood components. A rectangular panel with two upturned sides acts as the dish for domestic dirt and a separate curved piece serves as the handle for the sweeper. The Alfred dustpan's handgrip and rear wall is finished in a grey tone, and the three elements fit together elegantly with hidden magnets.
Trend Themes
1. Aesthetic Cleaning Tools - Creating cleaning tools that complement the modern aesthetic and blend in with household furnishings presents an opportunity for disrupting the cleaning tools industry.

3. Designer Household Cleaning Tools - Collaborating with designers to create visually appealing household cleaning tools that consumers will be proud to display can disrupt the traditional niche image associated with cleaning tools and revolutionize the industry.
Industry Implications

3. Design Consulting - Offering design consulting services to manufacturers of household cleaning tools can disrupt the traditional manufacturing model and revolutionize the cleaning tools industry.
