TOT is Alexander Lotersztain’s new litter bin, with soft lines and fully recyclable body

TOT by Alexander Lotersztain

January 22nd, 2013

The new work from prodigious Brisbane designer Alexander Lotersztain for Derlot Editions is a fully rotomoulded litter bin. Its curved and squat body give the bin a friendly aspect almost bordering on kawaii.

The TOT’s bayonet style cap comes in a range of colours, so the bins can connote different waste purposes like recycling separation. There’s also a stainless steel cap available for smokers’ bins.

Signage and plate logo are also customisable, so the TOT could display company logo or waste disposal information as preferred.

Manufactured by PALAMONT – art in manufacturing, the liner and bin are made of 100% recyclable plastic, and between them is a water-fillable cavity that can act as a ballast. The liner also has built in ergonomic handles, so the TOT is easy to clean and maintain.

The TOT also comes in a junior version, and the body of the bin is available in a range of colours to suit its intended space.
