The body leaning on one end is the key element that makes this product work.
Probably the shape could be improved but definitely a great idea.

They keyword of this waste bin is simplicity.
Easy to manufacture, assemble, and maintain.

The spacious front side could then be suitable to seat some graphics (like for recycling purpose) in case the product would be used in public spaces.

Floris Schoonderbeek – DUTCHTUB 4P

alessio — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 22:13:55 +0000

“The Dutchtub is sober and decadent at the same time. Hot tubs are a luxury product but the function and design of the Dutchtub brings it back to an essence that makes it a friendly product for use in any environment.”

My poster for Ten Images For Ithaca competition has been shortlisted between more than 7000 entries.

“Labelling means naming.
It is human instinct to group things with what they are most similar and name them as a whole.
We live in a world filled with labels antagonising each other to win our preference.
There are labels associated with consumer products and fashion.
People voluntarily label themselves in order to have a sense of belonging to a group, but there also labels that people use to categorize others stemming from feelings of racism and xenophobia,
political and religious discrimination, etc.
What is the role of these labels in your life?
How can a label describe the world you live in?
Can a label give the infinite set of experiences, beliefs and desires that summarise each human being? ”

Odoardo Fioravanti – Stockholm Bed

alessio — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 23:34:59 +0000

As it often happens, the first thing I thought when I saw the Stockholm bed by Odoardo Fioravanti has been: “I wish I had that idea”. I think that Fioravanti’s bed is the ideal product for people like me that spend lots of time in their bedroom, from the breakfast in bed checking emails and news to the post-dinner reading.
Even if you can always fill your bed with cushions and be comfortable, the idea of having a product thought with this specific purpose probably doesn’t make you feel that lazy.
