"4670" Wastebasket by Gino Colombini for Kartell, 1960s

Iconic wastebasket designed by Gino Colombini for Kartell, model 4670, made of ivory-colored ABS.
A simple yet highly representative object of Italian research into plastic design in the 1960s, a period in which Kartell revolutionized the use of synthetic materials, transforming everyday objects into elements with strong aesthetic value.

The pure, unadorned cylindrical shape reflects a functionalist approach typical of Italian modernism of the period, while the matte surface and warm ivory tone give it a discreet and refined presence.

Versatile and still very contemporary, it can be used as a wastebasket, umbrella stand, or storage unit in the study, bathroom, or office. It also fits perfectly in minimalist spaces or paired with Space Age and modernist furnishings.
