The Design
About Patia Cubo de Basura
Patia es un cubo de basura con pedal diseñado para su uso en la cocina. Las franjas verticales del cuerpo actúan como nervios de refuerzo. El patrón convexo y cóncavo aumenta la resistencia y ayuda a evitar abolladuras durante el transporte. El cuerpo está fabricado en acero laminado en frío, cortado por láser y conformado en una línea de laminado continuo. La tapa y el reposapiés se obtienen mediante matrices de estampación. Una ligera presión sobre el pedal abre la tapa lentamente, y esta regresa después a su posición cerrada, de modo que se evita el contacto con el interior del cubo. Patia mide 400 mm de ancho, 330 mm de profundidad y 622 mm de altura.

- Unique Properties
- The core innovation of this product lies in the combination of structural reinforcing ribs and decorative stripes into one. Through precise mechanical calculation and structural design, and by using the convex and concave elements of the stripes on the barrel body, it serves as a reinforcing rib for the product, preventing it from deforming during transportation. At the same time, it enhances the aesthetic appeal of the product and distinguishes it from other products on the market.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 400mm x Depth 330mm x Height 622 mm
- Tags
- Striped elements, reinforced rib protection, silent opening and closing, and light luxury appearance
- Production Technology
- The barrel body of the Patia product is made of 0.6mm cold-rolled steel plate, which is precisely cut by laser and formed into a striped structure in one go through a 16-station continuous rolling line. The depth of the convex ribs is 8mm±0.1mm, with a tolerance of, and is made by high-precision die stamping. The bucket lid and footrests are formed by stamping dies in one piece. Bottom
- Design Challenge
- The greatest challenge in the process of implementation and research is how to enhance the strength of the product barrel while maintaining its aesthetic appeal, ensuring safety and rationality, as well as integrating it into the home environment. Finally, through continuous refinement of the 3D model and sample verification, this striped trash can was designed.
- Research
- Market research has found that most similar products remain at the stage of undesigned smooth surface treatment, which is prone to deformation during transportation. Moreover, they are homogenized and lack a sense of design. We have innovatively adopted 0.8mm thickened cold-rolled steel plates. Through a precise rolling process, the stripes present a three-dimensional drop of 10mm, which not only enhances the compressive resistance but also improves the product's aesthetic appeal.
- Inspiration
- Traditional metal trash cans usually dent and deform due to impact during transportation. The load-bearing structure in buildings inspires us to transform functional reinforcing ribs into decorative stripes. Each concave and convex vertical pattern is not only the "skeleton" of the barrel, supporting the stability of the product, but also creating a sense of rhythm through the refraction of light and shadow.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Shenzhen in October 2024 and will be completed in Shenzhen in June 2025.
- Operation Flow
- Operating this type of trash can is very simple and intuitive. The user only needs to gently step on the trash can lid, and it will automatically slowly lower and open without the need for manual lifting. After putting away the garbage, the lid will automatically return to its original position. The entire process does not require touching the inside of the trash can, effectively preventing hand contamination and the spread of odors.
