#Broom and dustpan concept utilizes your space’s corners

Inventive product design isn’t always about the biggest, flashiest, and most complicated. It can be about a simple problem or issue that someone though long and hard about and came up with a possible solution. For example, if you live in a small space, each inch of your house is important and if you can place something in areas that normally don’t have anything there, then it’s a win.

The corners in your house are often left unused because it’s a bit hard to place furniture or items there. But if you need to utilize that, this concept for a simple cleaning accessory might do the trick. The 90 Broom & Dustpan is just as its name says it is: it’s a broom and a dustpan that can be stored in the corner because the brush can be folded at 90 degrees.

When it’s folded, it solves another annoying issue we get with brooms and mops. When you have to stop in the middle of cleaning, you place it against the wall but they often fall down. But with this design, it can stand on its own. This cleaning accessory is in simple black (the broom) and white (the dustpan) colors, adding to its simple and minimalist look.

Efficiency and functionality are essential in product design, even with just a simple thing like cleaning materials. This doesn’t use technology or any bells and whistles that we expect from gadgets but the simplicity of the design while solving some cleaning and storage problems is appealing in itself.
