CURRENTLY SOLD OUT - MORE COMING SOON!
Designed by Ole Jensen, born 1958.
The dustpan is in all its simplicity constructed from a piece of flat plastic, with an indentation created by a simple slit. It also has a hole, through which you can push the brush handle to hang the set on the wall.
The brush is made of specially-produced wood and Chinese pig bristles, with the long hairs bent around a rod and glued to a wedge in the wooden handle. In normal brushes the bristles are passed through the wood, but this old technique produces an extremely durable brush. By the time it is finished, the brush has passed through eight pairs of female hands, and is the epitome of traditional craftsmanship combined with industrial production.
These two simple tools are intended to help make your daily cleaning chores less boring and more enjoyable.
The dustpan and brush set was awarded the Formland Prize 2003.
