Blinky. Clyde. Inky. Pinky.

A Family of Home Pedal Dustbins

Designed by Sagar Satam

The Blinky. Clyde. Inky. Pinky. dustbins are a unique and innovative addition to any home. Inspired by the iconic Pac-Man game, designer Sagar Satam has created a family of pedal dustbins that not only serve their purpose but also add a touch of fun and style to any room.

The design of these dustbins is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. The pedal bin design changes the perception of dustbins at home from something that is boring and to be hidden, to something that can be shown off in the house. The external cover of the dustbin is interchangeable, allowing the user to customize it to any color or design. Whether it's a cartoon character for the kids' room or a plain color to match the interiors of the room, these dustbins can be personalized to suit any style.

One of the standout features of these dustbins is the in-built bin liner roll-dispenser. This innovative addition allows for efficient and clean removal of waste. With the help of this dispenser, the user does not have to touch the bin, ensuring a hygienic waste disposal process.

The Blinky. Clyde. Inky. Pinky. dustbins are made using various plastic processing methods such as blow and injection molding. The materials used are high-gloss and matte finish stain-free plastic, which not only adds to the durability of the dustbins but also gives them a sleek and modern look.

With a diameter of 400 mm and a height of 560 mm, these dustbins are the perfect size for any room in the house. They are designed to be functional yet unobtrusive, allowing them to seamlessly blend into any space.

The project to create the Blinky. Clyde. Inky. Pinky. dustbins started in mid-January 2014 in Mumbai and was completed by the end of December 2014. Throughout the design process, extensive research was conducted to understand how people interact with and perceive dustbins. The aim was to create a design that not only provided an efficient and effective method of waste disposal but also changed the image of a dustbin from something that is hidden to something that can be proudly displayed as a home decor and furnishing product.

The Blinky. Clyde. Inky. Pinky. dustbins have received recognition for their innovative design. They were awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2016 in the Furniture Design category. This award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Blinky. Clyde. Inky. Pinky. dustbins have been praised for their integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and contribution to a better world.

Overall, the Blinky. Clyde. Inky. Pinky. dustbins are a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of designer Sagar Satam. They not only provide a practical solution for waste disposal but also add a touch of style and personality to any home.
