Desk Trash Bin - for Desk Clamp Modular Holder

Desk Trash Bin for Desk Clamp Modular Holder

A compact modular trash bin designed for the Desk Clamp – Modular Holder system.

It allows you to keep your workspace clean and organized by providing a dedicated place for small waste, accessible at the side of your desk without taking up desk surface space.

The bin attaches using the same vertical slide-in system as the other modular accessories for Desk Clamp Modular Holder, so you can easily swap it with other holders depending on your needs. No screws, no tools, no permanent modifications.

The design features a clean, minimal look and a removable lid. A light press on one side of the lid lifts the opposite side thanks to lateral pivot pins, allowing smooth opening and closing while keeping the contents discreet and visually tidy.
