Transforming an unremarkable household item into a design object, this wooden waste bin with lid from Japanese brand Saito Wood is elegant and practical at the same time. The design gives a nod to Saito’s 1940s pioneering technique of using molded plywood instead of metal to create a wide range of containers. Made in Shizuoka, Japan, the wood wastebasket is crafted with care from molded plywood. It features a simple cylindrical silhouette, to look great anywhere. The “folded” lid swings from one side to another on a tubular support, offering easy access to the interior while keeping the contents hidden. Versatile and perfect for any room, the Saito wooden waste bin with lid comes in different sizes and finishes, to suit a variety of needs and color palettes.
