Wonky-Flowery-Bin

The “Wonky-Flowery-Bin” is a plastic rubbish bin which is inspired by 'a wonky-donkey toy'. The “Wonky-Flowery-Bin” has a flower standing on the centre of a cylindrical bucket and tension of a wire connects parts of the flower. The point of the design is that the flower bends down like 'the wonky-donkey toy' when the weight of the rubbish pushes the bin down and the wire loses its tension.
The “Wonky-Flowery-Bin” aims to be placed on a desk of a table, not under the desk or in a corner of a room. Therefore, the size is compact, 360 mm H x 215 mm W x 215 mm D.
