SWING BIN

This dustbox, created by pursuing "simplicity" to its absolute limit, was born from the desire to "create an elegant and beautiful trash can unlike any seen before."

With a primitive form that resembles a log cut diagonally, the SWING BIN stands quietly and beautifully like a sculpture. As it is a trash can with a lid, the contents remain hidden from view, beautifully enhancing the space in which it is placed.

The lid, approximately 3mm thick, functions simply by being placed gently onto the bin, thanks to its meticulously calculated angle and structure. When lightly pressed, it opens slowly while maintaining its balance, and soon returns to its original position to close with a quiet click—this movement itself is so elegant that the simple act of discarding something may even become a small pleasure.

By using the included rolled PET sheet inside, you can easily attach a trash bag so it remains hidden from view. The lid can be easily removed simply by lifting it up and returned to its place just by setting it down, making it simple to empty the trash and clean the interior.

In every detail of SWING BIN, a thoroughly considered minimalism is embodied.
