Crossed.
Crossed is a litter bin designed by Stéphane Chapelet, inspired by the branches on the facade of Toyo Ito's Tod's building in Tokyo. Made of laser-cut, folded steel, it combines visual lightness and sturdiness. It is one of the studio's flagship products, from Jeddah to Marrakech.
Inspired by Toyo Ito's Tod's building
The pattern of the Crossed range is inspired by the branches that shape the facade of the Tod's Omotesando building in Tokyo, designed by Toyo Ito, one of the studio's reference architects.
An openwork bin
Its clean, transparent design catches the eye, and its shadows draw branches on the ground: the Crossed bin becomes part of the landscape rather than mere equipment.
A simple, unique production process
A steel sheet, powder-coated or corten, is laser-cut and then folded to shape the bin. This streamlined process keeps manufacturing steps to a minimum while giving the bin its originality.
References around the world
On the Jeddah Corniche in Saudi Arabia, the Crossed bin was produced in concrete for the seafront design. In Marrakech, it was selected through a public tender. It also furnishes the grounds of the Hilton Lac-Leamy hotel in Canada and the iGuzzini headquarters in Barcelona, designed with the Crossed range.
The Crossed range
The bin completes the Crossed bench, seat, planter and bollards. It is made in Italy by Lab23® and sold in Spain in partnership with iGuzzini®.
Lab23, an Italian manufacturer, makes street furniture in Italy from steel, Corten, wood and Hypergranite. It shows the studio's designs alongside those of Zaha Hadid, at Milan's Fuorisalone and in the specialist press.
The Crossed bin appears in the Spanish magazine Diseño de la Ciudad's feature on the range (issue 82, 2012). In 2015, the Swedish magazine RUM (issue 138) selected its Corten steel version.
