Waste Paper Bin

Traditional waste bins are treated purely as practical objects, often overlooked in terms of design. Flippy reconsiders the traditional waste bin.

Designed to be seen rather than hidden, it combines simple form with practical functionality, making it suitable for a variety of interiors.

Flippy is built using simple, cost-effective methods and materials.

Its main body is rolled into a cone from 4mm laser-cut mild steel, then welded and f inished for a seamless join.

The lid, formed from the same 4mm material, is shaped to fit precisely over the body and pivots on a 20mm rod with a machined surface, secured by a single M6 bolt.

A plate is spot-welded to the base to complete the structure.
