Standing Brush and Dustpan

Makoto Koizumi for Asahineko

• Introduction

  I am a Standing Brush and Dustpan. Two tools united as one, until our bodies turn to dust.

   

• Curator's Notes 

   

  For a while, we were buying plastic broom and dustpan sets with the mindset that cleaning supplies were meant to be temporary and hidden away. However, discovering this broom and dustpan set made me realize there was a better solution. We are big fans of Makoto Koizumi, and his design here is thoughtful and elegant as usual. The size is scaled down, the materials of wood and metal are durable and beautiful, and the the head of the broom swivels to reach tighter areas. Good design can make an activity as mundane as sweeping a pleasure!
