Clothespin Garbage Bins

Hommin's Clip Trashcan Offers a Simple Way to Dispose Waste

— August 25, 2011 — Art & Design
Forget about fancy wastebaskets and garbage bins, all you need is something simple like the Clip Trashcan. It provides everything to help secure a bag firmly so as to easily drop unwanted items into it. Made out of two pieces of curved wood with clothespins attached at both ends, this trash can follows a very basic, bin-like shape.

Conceived and created by Stockholm-based studio Hommin, which was founded by Hung-Ming Chen, the Clip Trashcan's look is completely dependent on what bag the owner decides to secure in it. For instance, if a thick, printed canvas bag is used, the Clip Trashcan will instantly look vintage chic, but if a dingy plastic bag is put in its place, it will look more rustic.
Trend Themes
1. Simple Trash Cans - There is an opportunity for businesses to create simple, minimalist trash cans that prioritize function over form.
2. Eco-friendly Waste Disposal - The Clip Trashcan presents an opportunity to create eco-friendly waste disposal solutions that integrate with reusable bags or compostable options.
3. Customizable Garbage Bins - Businesses that offer customizable trash cans that can be adapted to fit different bags or environments could disrupt the homeware industry.
Industry Implications
1. Homeware - Homeware companies can create innovative, functional trash cans to appeal to a minimalist aesthetic.
2. Sustainability - Sustainable waste disposal companies can create products that are specifically tailored to integrate with reusable bags or compostable options, reducing single-use waste.
3. Industrial Design - There is an opportunity for companies in the industrial design sector to create customizable waste disposal solutions that prioritize function and adaptability.
