The 'Urnus-14' garbage can is the design work of the Art Lebedev Studio and identifies what can be done to upscale the traditional aesthetic of the necessary urban fixture to make it more efficient. Featuring a skeletal design that only consists of a frame for holding a waste bag in place, the unit can use brightly colored bags to stand out in an urban area to ensure that refuse doesn't get haphazardly littered. The waste bin also boasts a design that doesn't require extensive cleaning or maintenance to ensure staff can simply remove the bag when it's full to freshen up the unit.
The 'Urnus-14' garbage can identifies the need for more design-conscious solutions for cities as urban areas continue to grow and expand.
