Description

For sale the Iconic and renowned Vipp trash bin. Regular sales price $540. Fully working. "In the world of product design, this 85-year-old classic is so iconic that it’s served as a muse for dozens of artists, including Bono, Yoko Ono, Yves Behar, and Damien Hirst. This product has been turned into a car, a robot, and a grill; crushed in a hydraulic press; re-created into a tiny digital image to use instead of the “trash” icon on computer screens; and covered head-to-toe in feathers." Originally Designed in 1939 by Danish metalworker Holger Nielsen. In 2009, it became part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. And it was a winner of the prestigious Monocle Design Awards 2023. This Vipp Iconic pedal bin is a 5 gallon large waste bin for kitchen, office or bathroom. Manufactured from powder-coated steel, this pedal bin is equipped with a removable inner bin, a lid that provides air-tight closure, and a damper mechanism that provides smooth closing of the lid. A rubber ring at the base protects floors and sensitive surfaces. This is a piece of history and a piece of art, a beautiful solid and well made bin. In very nice condition, small superficial scratch on stainless steel lid. Small barely noticeable marks of wear.
