This product breaks free from the traditional “hide-away” approach to trash cans, merging artistic design with smart technology to elevate it into a stylish home decoration. Its bullet-inspired form features smooth curves and a rounded dome with no sharp edges, creating a safe and user-friendly environment for families with children or elderly members. The dome lid comes in two panels that slide open to the sides, creating a larger opening and taking up less room than conventional flip-top designs, making the can perfect for narrow spaces like next to the toilet. The plastic lid with a silver spray finish and the body with a high-gloss lacquered finish together create an understated luxury style. High-saturation retro colors like Bordeaux Red and Pullman Green are balanced with neutral colors like black and white, allowing the trash can to fit effortlessly into modern home interior styles.
Designed for contactless operation, the lid opens automatically when an object is detected 15–25 cm above the sensing area and closes after approximately 5 seconds. The lid is set at a height that’s easy for the hand to reach. With the sensor placed in front and the lid slightly behind it, the trash can reduces the need to bend over and keeps hands safely clear of the lid when it opens. The brand logo breathing light replaces traditional LED indicators, lighting up with a wave of a hand to make every use playful and engaging. A one-button Open Mode keeps the lid open, making it easy to handle tasks that require continuous use, like peeling. Optional 360° casters make it easy to move the can.
