Walnut Paper Waste Basket with Cutout Lid

Description

I am a Walnut Paper Waste Basket with Cutout Lid. Wanna see it disappear without a trace? Throw it in the blackhole.

Curator’s Notes

This basket is particularly great for office spaces as it’s easy to toss unwanted paper items into the large cutout hole but the small ledge around the rim does a good job of covering the waste just enough to keep it out of sight. It’s also perfect for tossing other items into, not necessarily only waste, such as nice hand towels.

Trash containers are often hidden or an after-thought as a product, kept far away from public sight. We like the idea that a frequently neglected household item can also be beautiful and worthy of display.
