Abstract
People who make models as their hobbies at home often generate more trash
clutters than others. Once they start the modeling process, they often end up
having small debris, sanding dust, and spilled paints on their desks. These tiny
clutters will reduce their concentration and enthusiasm for the model-building
process. It is quite difficult to collect them and get rid of them.

Therefore, I designed ALIGN, a household desk cleaning product for amateur
model makers. It includes a double-sided brush and a dustpan with two high walls.

Therefore, I designed ALIGN, a household desk cleaning product for amateur

The double-sided brush helps gather both solid pieces and liquid waste into the
dustpan. For the dustpan part, users can attach the high walls to the edge of desks to prevent trash from falling to the floor. After the desk cleaning process, users can
hang the brush and dustpan together on walls to save space.

Align is made of recyclable raw material with simple forming technologies.
One of my main goals is to design a simple hand tool that requires low energy
consumption to produce and is easy to recycle. And more importantly, the cleaning
process should be simple and natural. (Less)
