Trash can
The initial idea, like all ideas created on paper, requires a lot of attention to the design before it can finally be developed and become a product.

Coming up with a new way of opening the lid on a trash can is not simple or easy to do, especially when combining two materials like stainless steel and semi-transparent plastic. In order to achieve this result, various models and several functional prototypes were made. Each of these had problems that then had to be gradually worked out.
Innovative design that attempts to take new paths involves experimentation, and this was possible thanks to a team effort between the designers at MM Design studio and Tramontina's research and development department.
It was also extremely important to be able to ensure a suitable final cost for the market, given that consumers are unlikely to be willing to pay too much for an object of this type.
The choice of materials was also made with consideration for the environment: the steel can be reused at the end of its life cycle, just as the plastic may be recycled.
