Vipp Trash Cans

If you’ve ever wanted to get down and dirty with Yoko Ono, now’s your chance. Well, not exactly, but you can make a great decor addition with custom designed trash cans by the likes of Ono, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Tyra Banks’ favorite noted fashion photog, Nigel Barker, in your kitchen corner. Initiated by Danish design house, Vipp, in celebration of their 70th anniversary, the one-off designs will be auctioned off to benefit DIFFA-Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS.

Normally retailing from $249 to $469, bids on the bins will start at $500 with all proceeds going to DIFFA. For those in New York, the project provides the added benefit of being able to waltz into a showroom in SoHo and see a fellow bidder inspect a can, only to see it talk back, saying: “I love trash, but you are testing my limits”.
