# Funneling Dustpans The Kawamura-Ganjavian Ductpan Allows for More Precise Dumping of Dirt By Meghan Young | Published 2011-06-27 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kawamura-ganjavian-ductpan References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/ductpan-by-kawamura-ganjavian/) & [studio-kg](http://www.studio-kg.com/news/2011/6/17/ductpan.html) There are some everyday items that have existed for so long that they have gone under the radar for years and the dustpan was one of them, until the Kawamura-Ganjavian Ductpan, that is. This innovative re-design proves that other [ordinary objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soom) can use some contemporary tweaks. Essentially, the Kawamura-Ganjavian Ductpan introduces a funnel component that easily directs the [dirt and dust collected](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anydust) into garbage bags and bins. Perfect for [small and quick cleanups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pulito), this unique, clever and yet entirely simple dustpan design makes sure that you don't have to clean up another mess because of a faulty and imprecise traditional dustpan. Although the Kawamura-Ganjavian Ductpan is currently just a concept, I can see this being produced around the world. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Innovative Dustpan Design:** Opportunity to disrupt the cleaning tools industry by introducing new and improved dustpan designs. - **Functional Redesign of Everyday Items:** Potential for disruptive innovation by re-designing ordinary objects to enhance their functionality and usability. - **Simplifying Cleaning Processes:** Opportunity to streamline and simplify the process of cleaning by introducing innovative cleaning tools. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cleaning Tools Industry:** Opportunity to disrupt the cleaning tools industry with innovative and functional dustpan designs. - **Home Improvement Industry:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the home improvement industry by introducing redesigned and functional everyday items. - **Household Products Industry:** Opportunity to innovate and create new household products that simplify everyday cleaning processes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cubic Handheld Vacuum Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dust-box-vacuum-cleaner.md) - [Artful Handheld Vacuum Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handheld-vacuum-1.md) - [Self-Cleaning Measuring Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamfarms.md) - [Curved Vacuum Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qrevo-curvx.md) - [Decor-Inspired Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handheld-vacuum-concept.md) - [Dust-Based Soft Slippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/done-dusted.md) - [Style-Conscious Cleaning Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everyday-cleaning-tools.md) - [Gamified Trash Pickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubbish-beam.md) - [Humorous Quick Cleanup Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-desk-concept.md)
