For those fixated on design and order, the matter of rubbish is a serious one. We love how the gently swinging top of this wastebasket keeps trash out of sight and the focus on its clean, modern lines. Designer Isamu Saito used molded plywood for his mid-century design that still looks fresh today. The ayous wood veneer comes in Natural or Stained Black, each with a protective varnish coating. Made in Shizuka, Japan.

"Achieving a simple goal is not a simple matter." - Saito

George ★★★★★

Didn't think I'd care this much about a wastebasket, but the swinging lid actually keeps things looking tidy on my desk. The ayous wood has a nice warm tone that doesn't clash with my setup.

Adam ★★★★★

The wood grain on this thing is genuinely pretty, which I didn't expect from a wastebasket. The little swing top hides everything and it feels solid enough that it won't tip over when I toss something in from my desk chair.

Isabella ★★★★★

The swinging lid is the quiet hero here, it drops back down without a clack and hides everything inside. Ayous wood has this soft matte grain that looks way nicer next to my desk than the plastic bin it replaced.
