Luna Sensor Trash Can draws inspiration from the beauty of nature, with its rounded edges and stainless steel texture that seamlessly blends into any home. The design philosophy behind Luna is to strike the perfect balance between hard and soft contours, creating a visually appealing and functional product.
What sets Luna apart from traditional trash cans is its sensor-controlled lid. With swift and silent opening and closing, Luna offers users a brand-new experience when disposing of trash. The lid can also be easily kept open by simply hovering a hand or knee in front of the sensor, providing convenience and ease of use.
One of the standout features of Luna is its increased sensing range, allowing users to throw trash into the can with a single step. This eliminates the need for physical contact with the lid, promoting hygiene and cleanliness.
Furthermore, Luna's bottom insert is designed with a drain-strainer shape and includes a bait compartment. This innovative feature attracts cockroaches while preventing children from coming into contact with insecticides, addressing a common issue faced by many households.
The realization of Luna Sensor Trash Can involves the use of color-painted stainless steel and engineering plastic as the main materials. It incorporates infrared sensor technology to ensure accurate and reliable functionality.
With two size options available, Luna Sensor Trash Can offers versatility to suit different needs. The 12L version measures 252mm in width, 252mm in depth, and 435mm in height, while the 9L version measures 252mm in width, 252mm in depth, and 370mm in height.
Designed by the talented team at Upella, Luna Sensor Trash Can is a testament to their dedication to creating innovative and practical solutions for everyday living. The development process involved extensive research, including interviews with families to understand their needs and challenges. This led to the incorporation of features such as the cockroach bait compartment and the silent lid closing mechanism.
Luna Sensor Trash Can has been recognized for its exceptional design and functionality, receiving the Bronze A' Design Award in the Home Appliances Design category in 2019. This prestigious award acknowledges Luna's contribution to improving quality of life through its incorporation of art, science, design, and technology.
With Luna Sensor Trash Can, Upella has revolutionized waste management, combining style and efficiency in a single product. Say goodbye to traditional trash cans and embrace the future of waste disposal with Luna.
