LIXI - thash bag holder
LIXI - Support for plastic bag.
Two facts have contributed to the design of the project "LIXI".
1. Small kitchens, where conventional garbage cans difficult the passage.
2. Encouraging the re-use of plastic bags to collect garbage.
From there, we developed a simple and practical project.
Foldable when not in use takes up very little space.
To be used is only unfold and dock at a door or drawer next to where you need a trash bucket.
Open the plastic bag and place in “LIXI” support.
Done!
