TIP / WASTE BIN / AUTHENTICS /
2003
A good deal of attention went into the design of the lifting mechanism of this waste bin. Most pedal-bins on the market are built with a complicated assemblage of wires, rivets, washers and pieces of plastic. We started the design by breaking the existing construction down into its essential parts. By the end we were able to build the entire mechanism (including the pedal) with just two pieces of metal rod and a rubber hinge.
