Among all household categories, trash cans are the most easily overlooked part.
People often spend a lot of time and energy to select various furniture and appliances, but the trash cans that are indispensable in life are always "hidden" in the inconspicuous corners of the home and become things that cannot be put on the table.
But just this gadget often determines the beauty and ugliness of a space and your taste in life.
Because your living habits are buried in the trash can, whether a person lives in a refined and refined way depends on his attitude towards the garbage. Not to mention, garbage disposal is still a perpetual motion machine for family conflicts.
What kind of garbage can deserves you with taste? Speaking of this, I have to mention the world's first foot-pedal trash can.
Love gave birth to
The world's first trash can
Okay, I'm going to start telling the vulgar story of "I can't buy a satisfactory trash can and become angered by the designer." More than 170 years ago, Holger Nielsen, who lives in Landes, Denmark, was the owner of a local hardware factory with a happy family and a happy marriage. His beautiful lady Marie has her own barber shop.
Holger The most enjoyable thing every day is to pick up your wife from get off work. After several times I have been to the barber shop, I finally found that there was no suitable trash can in the store. The trash cans were all open at that time, which was very unsightly. You should know that the Danes had requirements for beauty.
But there was nothing good on the market at that time. If you asked someone else to customize it, you couldn't afford that money, so you decided to do it yourself.
Holger I put myself in a hardware factory, repeatedly conceived and tested it, and with my design talent and years of product production experience, I finally successfully designed the world's first foot-pedal open cover metal trash can.
, this is the picture above. The overall shape of the
trash can is a stainless steel cylinder with a lid on it, which can be opened directly through the lower foot pedal. There is no need to use a hand cover. There are two ear-type handles on both sides, which is very convenient to move a place, and everyone who has used it is praised.
Marie I liked it very much after seeing it, so I put it in my own barber shop and put it into use. It doesn't matter if this is not the case. Then, when the people who came to do their hair saw such a beautiful trash can, they all shouted that they had one. The shouts of the masses made the couple smell business opportunities.
So, a company called Vipp (Vipp means "tilt" in Danish, and is taught as Vipp in Chinese) was specially designed to produce this stainless steel trash can. In that year, Holger, who opened a hardware factory, was changed in this way and started his own garbage can career.
Vipp Postmodern life
Vipp is lucky. He has never experienced any ups and downs. Since its production in 1939, the market has been quite stable, and even World War II did not interrupt the production of Vipp pedal trash cans.
After the war, Vipp has expanded other product projects, but Vipp pedal trash cans are still their flagship product. This company has been around for nearly eighty years.
Vipp is now run by Holger's youngest daughter, Jette Egelund, whose foot-pedal trash cans appear in almost all top home design stores in Europe and the United States.

In fact, it is so lucky not only because of its appearance. It is indeed very useful, otherwise so many people would not have bought it. The simple and exquisite lever structure of the
Vipp trash can is connected by bolts, which is very durable. According to the test, it is said that it can be trampled for 50,000 consecutive times and will not fall off. Therefore, is used as a designated product by many hospitals, clinics and barber shops in Denmark.
In addition, it has also been favored by museums, and many design museums have kept it in it. The most famous of them is that it was collected by MOMA in New York as a permanent exhibit in 2009.
has endured so many praises. Vipp has not been expanded and always kept low profile. This can be seen from its color scheme. Vipp is very stingy in color, and can only be purchased in physical stores and official websites. However, they occasionally have a third color, which is the limited edition that is released every year.
Black Vipp
and White Vipp
Vipp is truly a limited edition model with limited color, production, and even the origin of each one can only be produced in Denmark. In addition to the limited edition, they often make trouble on the bucket.
Vipp will invite world-renowned designers to create artistic works on their classic pedal trash cans, and raise funds at charity auctions in Paris, New York, Lisbon, Berlin and other places, and all the proceeds from the auction are donated to charity organizations.
A collaboration with designer Philippe Starck
For example, the one that collaborated with famous French product designer Philippe Starck (the one who designed the alien juicer).

Seeing this, you probably thought I was going to buy a link. In fact, I don't recommend you to buy .
Why?
Because the actual price of a Vipp trash can is as low as a few thousand and up to tens of thousands. Most people will not invest their budgets in this trash can that does not automatically dispose of garbage.
The reason I say so much is because Vipp does change the direction of the trash can design . So much so that when we didn't have the money to buy it, there were other trash cans with good designs but more suitable prices.

There are two problems with the pedal-type trash can: the lid will close "clang", or the foot will step on, and the center of gravity will not be stable, and the barrel will tilt over. And Brabantiae's silent opening and closing and anti-slip bottom design perfectly solves these problems.
Brabantia counts that each household's sanitary barrel is about 30,000 times in 10 years, so the trash can that passes the test can last for at least 10 years, so Brabantia can also guarantee a 10-year warranty.
