Designer Marcus Arvonen thought carefully about the function, form and price when he developed the SNÄPP pedal bin for IKEA. It’s as easy to place as it is practical. The inner bucket is removeable for cleaning and the handle helps to hide the plastic bag, so it isn’t visible when the lid is closed.
Marcus Arvonen studied furniture and interior design in Gothenburg, Tokyo and Helsinki. He started at IKEA in 2005 and has been a product developer, creative innovator and designer. Marcus has been behind many popular products at IKEA, such as the IKEA PS MASKROS pendant lamp.
The point of departure with SNÄPP was that whatever you’re doing around the home, you might need to throw something away. Whether you’re snacking on the sofa, working at your desk or getting ready in the bathroom, you want to be able to get rid of things quickly and easily. A strategically placed SNÄPP pedal bin – even in an unexpected place, like the living room – helps to keep your home neat and tidy.
SNÄPP is still sold at IKEA in 2021, in different sizes and colours.
