Vipp: Trash cans for charity
Posted in: Uncategorized
To celebrate their 70th anniversary, Danish product company Vipp, which produced the original steel-cylinder trash can with rubber foot pedal, has asked a ton of designers of all stripes to devise trash can designs for a charity auction done in conjunction with Design Within Reach. Proceeds will benefit DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS.
The unusual line-up contains the likes of Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Yoko Ono, Yves Behar, and others. The public viewing of the resultant trash cans opens today in New York, and the designs will be auctioned off at the end of this month.
