In the vast, ancient world of product design, there's one 85-year-old classic so iconic that it's served as a muse for dozens of artists, including Bono, Yoko Ono, Yves Behar, and Damien Hirst... It's a trash can.
Originally, the Vipp bin wasn't meant to be a commercial product, let alone an art object... Soon, the bin was in high demand.
Her take on the can is inspired by 'the fluidity of seaweed' and it incorporates six magnetic forms that attach to the bin's surface, anywhere you'd like... Vipp produced only 50 iterations of the Ronchi-designed magnetic bins, retailing for $1,250.
We wanted to open people's eyes to the idea that this product had qualities going beyond the dentist and the doctor and the hospital,' says Kasper Egelund, Nielsen's grandson.
