The Product

Designer Karim Rashid's solution for trash containment and disposal is the sinuous Korzina. Produced in polyethylene and solution-dyed by means of rotational moulding, this feminine garbage discreetly consumes and contains rubbish. Korzina, meaning 'can' in Russian, provides an aesthetically pleasing alternative to dispense unwanted objects and materials that clutter living and work areas. Rashid's design reflects his affinity for objects of sinuous form that ignite the dimensions and energy of a space.
