Swing Top Desk / Countertop Bin – Minimalist Design

This is a compact swing-top bin with a clean, modern aesthetic, designed for desktop, bathroom, or countertop use. The rotating lid allows waste to be dropped in easily while keeping the contents discreetly covered.

The vertical ribbed body provides both visual interest and improved grip, making the bin easy to move while maintaining a premium look. The design is optimised for FDM printing, with smooth curves and consistent wall thickness for reliable results.
