There’s nothing more unsightly and frustrating than having a [tangle of cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cable-managements) out in the open, but the CableBin offers a clever way to conceal cables.

The bin provides a way to neatly tuck away and organize cables for [work areas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-felt-studio-pad). It looks just like a decorative trash can, so it’s completely inconspicuous and a great way to hide those lengths of cable away from being out in the open.

The CableBin keeps cables completely concealed with a lid, that also makes a great surface to put your phone on while it’s charging. It has a tiny slot for a [phone charger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-charger) to come up through the top as well, which allows cords to be tucked away when not in use.
