True luxury lies in the details. A trash can may seem like an afterthought, but it plays a vital role in the home where both form and function matter. And since 2008, SWANLORD has reimagined how a bin can function and what it looks like.
The "Retro Midcentury Design" series
Led by the philosophy of “beauty resides in utility, elegance speaks in silence”, the brand uses minimalist designs, impeccable metal craftsmanship, and refined colour palettes to create trash cans that don’t just serve a purpose, but also, as the company puts it, “reduce ‘noise’ for refined living”.
For SWANLORD, “noise reduction” isn’t just about soft-close lids or silent mechanisms, it’s about making life less cluttered. Across five carefully curated design collections, SWANLORD offers trash cans that blend seamlessly into a range of interior styles.
The “Sleek Slimline Design” series, for instance, is characterised by clean lines and an effortless style, available in six colourways that complement popular interior styles such as Scandinavian or Japandi. The “Smart Sensor Design” collection features sensor lids and statement-making designs, including a wine-glass-shaped bin – a striking solution to kitchens or wine cellars.
Cup-shape metal sensor bin
For homes with rustic charm, the “Country Kitchen Design” series features muted tones such as matte white, green, brown, and grey, with a design that takes its cues from Roman columns. Its understated elegance is paired with practical wire-frame foot pedals. Additionally, the “Retro Mid Century Design” draws on vintage aesthetics, offering soft, nostalgic curves that complement warm, wood-accented interiors. The collection’s rectangular-shaped bin has become its bestseller, having sold over six million units since its launch in 2013.

The “Contemporary Aesthetics Design” collection takes bin design to the next level. The award-winning bin by Dutch designers features dual compartments for waste sorting, combining subtle curves with crisp folded edges for a sleek and modern look. It boasts an R-corner radius for comfortable proportions and folded-edge craftsmanship that also functions as hooks for hanging extra bins. It includes a deodoriser, pet- proof lock, and an additional small bin for extra convenience.

On the functional side, features such as the sensing opening touch button, removable inner bucket, and pet-proof lid make trashing effortless. Other features such as a hidden trash bag, waterproof and fingerprint-resistant finishes ensure they’re as practical as they are beautiful.
Melding from and function, SWANLORD has elevated the humble bin from a necessary item to a design statement that adds style and personality to your space.
