Lotus Recycling Bin

Inspiration for the Lotus waste basket is provided by the Lotus flower’s gracious contact with the surface of the water. The waste paper basket has a sculptural organic form, in which a thin, die-cast aluminium lid meets the walls of the container, sweeping around the contours of the lid. As its front and back are not defined, it is flexible and easy to position. The versatile look lends Lotus a certain dynamism and means that Lotus will look good regardless of whether it is put in a corner, used on a stand-alone basis or placed under a desk.
