At first glance, the Blue Elegance Pocket Dustbin is a minimalist masterpiece. The white body, paired with intricate blue pottery resin detailing, gives it a timeless elegance, making it more than just a utility—it’s a statement piece. But beneath its stylish exterior lies thoughtful functionality, designed to tackle everyday waste in a sleek, portable form.
The dual-compartment system ensures waste is neatly organized. The top section is tailored for cigarette butts and chewing gum, featuring an in-built ashtray that prevents mess and odor. Meanwhile, the bottom compartment is reserved for general dry and wet waste, allowing users to dispose of paper wrappers, used tissues, and food scraps without a second thought.
Designed for urban dwellers, professionals, and travelers alike, this dustbin is about convenience without compromise.


















The essence of Blue Elegance draws from nature’s most breathtaking hues. The mood board features deep blue lakes, endless skies, and mesmerizing blue pottery vases, all sources of inspiration for this unique design. Blue is more than a color here—it’s a representation of sophistication, clarity, and responsibility.
From the striking depth of ceramic blue pottery to the calming energy of the ocean and sky, each element plays into the product’s identity. The resin detailing on the bottom compartment mirrors the patterns found in traditional blue pottery, elevating the dustbin to an object of aesthetic appreciation rather than just a functional necessity.
Every great product starts with a sketch, and the Blue Elegance Pocket Dustbin was no exception. Early designs explored different forms, sizes, and compartments, ensuring a solution that was as practical as it was beautiful.
Some sketches leaned toward cylindrical forms, while others experimented with boxy, modular shapes. The goal? To create a seamless, portable design that could integrate into daily life effortlessly. Special focus was given to the dual-compartment system, ensuring that cigarette butts and chewing gum were kept separate from general waste.
This exploratory phase was about finding the perfect balance between form and function. Every detail—the placement of the ashtray, the curve of the body, and the ease of use—was considered to create a product that felt both intuitive and aesthetic enough to be carried proudly.
After refining dozens of concepts, the final design took shape—a smooth conical form that fits comfortably in hand and slides effortlessly into a backpack side pocket. The symmetry and balance of the structure make it both practical and visually appealing.
The top section integrates an ashtray, designed to securely hold cigarette butts without any risk of odor leakage. The bottom compartment, inspired by modern minimalism, is spacious enough to store daily waste without feeling bulky. The resin detailing, placed strategically on the lower half, adds a touch of artistic flair.
This final sketch wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was about solving a problem elegantly. A product meant to be carried daily should feel natural, intuitive, and effortlessly stylish—and this design delivers exactly that.
With the final sketch in place, the next step was bringing it to life digitally. Using Fusion 360, every contour, every surface, and every mechanism was meticulously crafted in 3D. The goal? To ensure the dustbin was as ergonomic and efficient in real life as it was on paper.
The curved body was modeled for maximum portability, ensuring it fits seamlessly into everyday bags and pockets. The ashtray lid was refined for easy flick operation, and the compartments were optimized for smooth opening and closing without any leaks or spills.
The digital modeling process allowed for precise testing and refinements, ensuring that every aspect of the product—from its size to the weight distribution—was perfected before moving into prototyping.
A great product isn’t just about what’s on the surface. The exploded view reveals the true complexity behind the simplicity of the Blue Elegance Pocket Dustbin.
One of the standout features? The integrated HEPA filters and UV light. These elements work together to eliminate bacteria and odors, ensuring that even after extended use, the dustbin remains hygienic and fresh.
Every layer, from the dual-lid mechanism to the airtight seals, was designed to prevent leakage, minimize smell, and maximize user convenience. It’s not just a dustbin—it’s a well-engineered personal waste management system.
The true test of great design is how it feels in hand—and the Blue Elegance Pocket Dustbin passes with flying colors. The smooth conical shape fits effortlessly in a backpack side pocket, making it the perfect companion for those on the go.
More than just functional, the resin detailing on the lower half makes this a product people actually want to carry. Unlike traditional waste disposal options, this one isn’t an eyesore—it’s a sleek, refined accessory.
This product redefines portable cleanliness, giving users a convenient, stylish, and sustainable way to manage waste anytime, anywhere.
A pocket dustbin only works if it can handle real-world messes. In this showcase, the Blue Elegance Pocket Dustbin holds everything from paper wrappers to used cups, proving its versatility.
The spacious bottom compartment can handle multiple types of waste without overflowing, making it ideal for commuters, travelers, and professionals. No more scrambling for a trash bin or stuffing wrappers into pockets—this product ensures clean habits stay effortless.
By integrating seamlessly into daily life, it changes the way we think about waste disposal, making it a practical, thoughtful addition to modern living.
For smokers, waste disposal is often a challenge. The top compartment of the Blue Elegance Pocket Dustbin solves this by providing a built-in ashtray that securely holds cigarette butts before disposal.
Unlike traditional pocket ashtrays that are often clunky or smell over time, this design features odor-blocking technology, ensuring zero leakage of smoke residue. The easy-flick lid allows for effortless disposal while keeping the user’s hands clean.
A simple yet effective innovation, this feature helps reduce littering, keep public spaces clean, and make responsible waste disposal second nature.
Every great design begins with a purpose. The Blue Elegance Pocket Dustbin was born out of the need to reduce litter in urban spaces while giving users a portable, stylish, and efficient way to dispose of waste.
