Crumbled wastebasket (or trashcan)

A wastebasket like no other: the Bin-Bin resembles precisely what it was designed to contain – crushed paper. Designer John Brauer crushed many hundreds of small paper models and then unfolded them again until deciding upon the final model. This was then scanned to create a 3D image that was modified to meet manufacturing requirements.
