# Clothespin Garbage Bins Hommin's Clip Trashcan Offers a Simple Way to Dispose Waste By Meghan Young | Published 2011-08-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clip-trashcan References: [inspire.2ia.pl](http://inspire.2ia.pl/post/9301895419/clip-trashcan-from-hommin-studio) & [hommin](http://www.hommin.com/) 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Simple Trash Cans:** There is an opportunity for businesses to create simple, minimalist trash cans that prioritize function over form. - **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. - **Customizable Garbage Bins:** Businesses that offer customizable trash cans that can be adapted to fit different bags or environments could disrupt the homeware industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Homeware:** Homeware companies can create innovative, functional trash cans to appeal to a minimalist aesthetic. - **Sustainability:** Sustainable waste disposal companies can create products that are specifically tailored to integrate with reusable bags or compostable options, reducing single-use waste. - **Industrial Design:** There is an opportunity for companies in the industrial design sector to create customizable waste disposal solutions that prioritize function and adaptability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Organization Garbage Bins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-garbage-bins.md) - [Tipping Trash Can Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/niko-trash-bin.md) - [Sustainably Constructed Garbage Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubbish-bin.md) - [Note Clip Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-clip.md) - [Clippable Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clippable-furniture.md) - [Modular Trash Organization Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sortmate-trash-cans.md) - [Minimalist Clip-Free Clipboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hinge-clipboard.md) - [Clothespin-Inspired Mechanical Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentapa.md) - [Clipping Pen Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clippen.md)
