Hide & Help family

Hide & Help is a family of practical and unobtrusive products that hide in plain sight. 01 Tetrapod Beach Bin is a beach bin resembling the shore wave breakers. 02 Monopod Beach Bin is a smaller beach bin that can be identified from afar by its umbrella colors and patterns. 03 Kinetic Umbrella transforms the movement of the umbrella produced by the wind breeze into electricity.

Overflow

Due to the lack of trash cans on the beach, they quickly become overflown. Nobody wants to sit next to an overflowing trash can. The option of placing many trash cans on the beach would destroy the landscape, so these trash cans should be hidden in plain sight. To be unobtrusive, the proposed trash can is half buried in the sand. The basket is accompanied by an umbrella so that it can be found more easily.

Features

Signaling The trash baskets can be identified from a distance using the umbrellas. The distinction of waste is done through the varied color and graphics. The graphics were designed not to be confused with an ordinary umbrella. Shade The shade left by the umbrella keeps the sand but also the trash can at a lower temperature. Emptying Half of the trach can is buried in the sand. To empty the trash, the basket half must be turned over to the left side. If the garbage passes half of it’s basket volume the trash will be pressed first.
