Vitra
Happy Bin Small

Designed by Michel Charlot
Manufactured by Vitra

Office accessories designed by Michel Charlot introduce unusual organic-shaped designs to the usually austere office environment. Inspired by cartoons and sculptures, the different containers add a cheerful touch that will brighten up any setting. A sculpture by Hans Arp prompted Michel Charlot’s design of the Happy Bin. While respecting industrial production methods and material properties, the slightly irregular shape of the waste paper bin was designed to appear almost to have grown.
