Eva Solo® SweepUp boasts an innovative design that adds new functional and design qualities to the dustpan and brush. This simple product has been given a stylish make-over with an elegant twist, thus adding a new and decorative function to the modern home.

The designers behind the new broom and dustpan set, Henrik Holbæk and Claus Jensen from Tools Design, have focused on creating a new and contemporary version of a classical and invaluable piece of cleaning equipment which is normally always put away after use:

“It was an interesting challenge breathing new life into a product which everyone uses but which is always kept out of sight because it looks so clumsy. We therefore gave the Eva Solo SweepUp a high degree of design and functionality, so in future the set can become an integrated part of the kitchen interior,” says Henrik Holbæk.

Completely functional

In addition to its solid exterior, Eva Solo SweepUp elegantly combines shape, function and user-friendliness. The set is made of stainless steel and plastic and is available in a stylish black version.For the sake of user comfort, the broom and the dustpan have handles measuring 85 cm and 90 cm, respectively, which means you do not need to bend down to sweep dust off the floor into the dustpan.

The broom is designed with a rounded head with no sharp edges, and the long, strong plastic bristles effectively sweep everything off the floor without scratching skirting boards or floors. The handle of the brush is hollow, so after use it slides down over the dustpan handle. This means it takes up less space while also adding a touch of elegance to the kitchen.

Eva Solo SweepUp is a stylish and innovative version of a conventional piece of domestic cleaning equipment which is both practical and decorative.

Everyone is becoming more environmentally conscious and we all know the problem of buying groceries and packing them into too many plastic bags each week. Not one, but two of course in order to secure they do not rupture and due to a lack of a working, innovative alternative.

One of Steltons most successful designers, Klaus Rath, has thought about this problem and came up with a solution that is fashionable, secure and functional at the same time, saving us all the use of and money needed for plastic bags along the way.

Shopnic – the new shopping / picnic basket

Klaus Rath has done it again. The young designer behind the bestselling Stelton bread bag has developed an all new shopping-/ picnic basket called ”Shopnic”. It carries a weight of 10 kg and takes about 15 l. Shopnic can, when not in use, be folded to a minimum of 7 cm in height, which is practical to fit below the child’s buggy or inside your car’s trunk, making space for larger items.

Compared to traditional solutions, Shopnic is supplied with a spring, making it possible to be unfolded like a magician’s hat – a practical idea, when you have already one hand holding e.g. your groceries or your child’s buggy. Shopnic has the perfect size both for shopping and the weekend’s picnic, why it is named Shopnic.

Shopnic comes in black/sand, sand/pistachio and red/pink colour schemes – fashionable colours which suit every style.

Both, the inside & outside covers may be washed in the washing machine by 30°C, making stains from spilled milk, juice and other liquids inside the basket a thing of the past.

Closeness to nature, health, environmental sustainability and bicycling are all integral parts of the Scandinavian lifestyle. As part of the Global premiere of the new Scandinavian Luxury Lifestyle store concept Georg Jensen is launching WHEELS – a unique Danish designed and produced bicycle. Yet another quality, long lasting investment opportunity from Georg Jensen – in a world were financial values decline by the tick of the clock .

“The best part of Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia is our lifestyle and the clean environment. The relaxed atmosphere where people are enjoying the closeness to nature and get together with friends and family at home. Our wonderful clean environment which provides clean drinking water directly from the ground and which makes it possible to swim in perfectly clean water even in the harbour in the very midst of Copenhagen. And then there are off course the bikes”, Ulrik Garde Due, CEO of Georg Jensen, states.

Denmark is after the Netherlands, the country in the world with the highest number of people bicycling. All over the country the road net is making is easy to be on two wheels and the official government includes bicycling as part of the national transport policy. In other words bicycling is an integral part of everyday lives in Denmark. In most big cities tourist can borrow city-bikes for free while they are visiting Denmark.
