Hideaway combines a streamlined exterior with several practical functions: When the basket is closed, the bag is hidden within while the precisely fitted lid creates a seamless and smooth look. When the basket is open the lid can practically hang on the side of the bin.
Believing that good design starts with the function, Mika Tolvanen creates beautiful products that are simple, self-explanatory and each with an individual character.
After graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2001, Mika set up his own design studio in Helsinki, Finland. Based on Lauttasaari island, Mika and his wife Julie now create design products for both residential and contract use through Studio Tolvanen.
