Litter Bin design in the context of the competition which was organized by the municipality of the
Greek island of Santorini.
Description:
The "SaBi" bin consists of two main particles: an inner one and an outer casing.
The first one,is a cylindrical metallic sceleton in which a plastic 50 litters bag can be placed. This structure is screwed on the ground in order to stabilize the whole product in case of adverse weather conditions or any kind of vandalism. The outer shell represents a rotating conical octahedron ,in the top of which eight anisotropic sides end up, structured in such a way that a logarithmic spiral is created.

Aesthetic:
The aesthetic of this product is relevant to the one of the island. The faceted conical form represents the elaborated sea's surface as well as both the steep rocky sides of the island and the image of the sleeping volcano. Finally the orifice just because of its uneven sides, it is structured in such a way that refers to the structure of the stairs. The sides also end up in a dinstinctive spiral which is a symbol of growth and resembles the shape of the "coil", which is the special vineyard of Santorini.
