Designer Marcus Arvonen thought carefully about the function, form and price when he developed the SNÄPP pedal bin for IKEA.


Year: 2016
Function: Pedal bin
Design: Marcus Arvonen
Price: EUR 6.90

SNÄPP was made to be as practical as it was easy to place. It was given a removeable inner bucket for cleaning and a handle to help hide the plastic bag when the lid was 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.
