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

Avery P. ★★★★★

The matte black finish on this looks way better next to my desk than the plastic bin I had before. The lid swings shut quietly, so I don't hear a clatter every time I toss something in.

Emily ★★★★★

The gently swinging top actually keeps the mess hidden, which I didn't think would matter until I stopped seeing crumpled receipts every time I sat down. It's black, it's solid wood, and it just disappears into the corner of my desk instead of shouting for attention.

Sebastian ★★★★★

Didn't expect to care this much about a wastebasket, but the black finish actually looks sharp next to my desk instead of screaming "trash." The lid swings shut quietly on its own, so I'm not looking at crumpled paper all day. Feels sturdier than the plastic one it replaced, too.
