Unidrain Awarded Three International Design Awards for their Pedal Bin
Not one but three judging panels recognised the uniqueness of the Unidrain Pedal Bin. Products from across the globe are entered into these prestigious awards which include the Red Dot, the iF and the German Design Award. The Unidrain pedal bin won the iF Design Award for “idea, form, function, differentiation and impact”, the German Design Award for “Excellent Design” and for “excellent quality and outstanding design” within the 2024 Product Design category in the Red Dot Design Award.
“We’re delighted that our new pedal bin is receiving recognition with these three design awards. When we develop new products for the Reframe range, the product has to stand out and preferably solve everyday problems in a more elegant way than other products on the market. I think we’ve succeeded here once again,” Product Manager Jacob Honoré enthuses.
The pedal bin is the latest addition to Unidrain’s Reframe Collection, every detail surrounding the Reframe Pedal bin is succinct and stylish; its timeless design has been crafted to match the other elements within the Reframe Collection. The elegant and simplistic exterior belies the carefully considered design solutions that have addressed specific practical challenges, it has clean lines with no external mechanics, making it easy to clean and suitable to stand freely and visible in the room. Another important design aesthetic is the height at 31.5cm it is the same height as the toilet brush.

The pedal bin has been designed with a soft open/close lid, so it can be placed against any surface as the lid will not hit a wall when it opens, which in turn avoids annoying banging noises, making it both silent and stylish.
