‘kali’ waste bin

the squared ‘kali’ waste bin requires no inner container, as it features a clamping technology to hold bags in place. the lid’s wide edge conceals the bag within.

lift the lid, put the bag in place and pull it over the edges. pull the bag over one corner and roll it up. pull the cord through the tap at the corner and place inside. the bag holds itself in place.
