Conceptual Design
Developed by Doctors and Engineers
Pnn Medical was founded in Denmark in 1987 with the mission of improving quality of life for people suffering from urinary tract obstructions by developing and bringing to market the most minimally invasive solutions causing fewest side-effects, least discomfort and lowest degree of medical dependency enabling patients to continue living their lives to the widest possible degree.
Urinary tract obstructions are debilitating illnesses causing pain, suffering and health risk to patients of all ages. Though some patients can be treated pharmaceutically, many are left with the dire choice between surgery and catheters both of which risk impacting their lives permanently through undesired side-effects, complications, discomfort and a dependency on medical attention.
A stent is a small tube for inserting a blocked passage to keep it open.
The stent restores blood flow or other fluids, depending on where it is located.

Let the product Speak
Paper Waste Basket
Essey’s Bin Bin don’t need an introduction, it speak for itself.
Don’t be in a hurry, take a moment, slow down, relax and let the products speak to you.
Creative Design
“I think there may be a maximum of 10 shops that will carry the Bin Bin” our first distributor said.
Within five years sales had surpassed 100 000 pieces.
The Bin Bin marked the turning point in the evolution of Essey. Without having to ask, it is obvious Bin Bin is an exact statement of function. It was through Bin Bin that John Brauer realized it is the harmonizing of shape with function that creates true “Symbolic Functionalism”. Bin Bin set the benchmark for all future Essey products.
Bin Bin quickly became a design classic and has been the recipient of no less than three international awards. Bin Bin exemplifies Symbolic Functionalism in its purest form.
Resembling a crumpled piece of waste paper Bin Bin states its function from the moment you see it.
Reverse Engineering
By first crumpling and then unfolding individual pieces of paper it took over 300 miniature paper bins to find the perfect one together with Onø Design.
The selected shape was 3D-scanned, the scan was enlarged, data was transformed into a shape for rotationally molded production.
Design Award
The German Industry Forum IF, awarded Bin Bin for outstanding design quality 2007.

Bathroom Accessories
Creative Invention
The “Hygienic” silicone cleaner is designed with ribs and has the right softness and shape to scrub and clean all surfaces in a toilet.
Silicone is an obvious choice for cleaning toilets. The ribs on the “Hygienic” do not collect dirt, as a traditional brush does between the nylon hairs.
Bacteria can not grow on silicone and in this way keep “Hygienic” clean.
Silicone is a very durable material. “Hygienic” is designed for daily use for many years and in this way protects the environment.

– Toilet brush Hygienic
– Soap dish
– Soap dispenser
– Toilet roll holder

The Danish company Rode Bath and their toilet cleaner have been nominated for a Global Innovation Awards (GIA), which will be presented at the International Home + Housewares Show in Chicago in March 2018.
The nominated toilet brush, goes by the name LOOEEGEE in North America, WC-CHAMP in Germany, while in the rest of the world it is known as RODE DAILY.
Once again, the innovative toilet cleaner LOOEEGEE / DAILY received a design award. This time with Retailers Choice at the Hardware Show in Las Vegas May 2018.
Take care of our environment
The “Hygienic” silicone cleaner has several competitive advantages:
- Longer Lifecycle
- Less Chemicals
- Less Waste
- Less Bacteria
- Less nasty nylon brushes

“I challenged Svend Onø to develop a design for a new family of bathroom accessories for RODE Bath.
To our satisfaction, he proved to be a highly talented and competent designer and came up with numerous inspiring and excellent ideas we could choose from.
The design solutions and ingenious toilet cleaner were the starting point of developing our new business and brand.
Svend’s professional approach, dedication and creative spirit, resulted in a design profile which we expect to have a high impact and international success.
It has been a great pleasure working with Svend and I give my best recommendation.”
Jacob Rode
