[BOSS]
STEFAN DIEZ
MADE IN THE NETHERLANDS
MANUFACTURING CLUSTER A [NL]
BOSS by German designer Stefan Diez embodies a thoughtful approach to waste management. Made from a minimum of recycled aluminum extrusion profiles, it transforms recycling into an intentional, visible act. More than a bin, BOSS is a statement in design and sustainability—redefining the waste bin as an object meant to be seen rather than hidden. Precision engineering gives BOSS its unique functionality. Its clever design enables efficient production: the square bins are crafted from a single aluminum profile, which also serves as the lid for the smaller, round bins. The feet, bag holders, and pivoting axis of the lids are all formed from the same steel wire, reinforcing a consistent and resource-efficient design approach. The name itself plays on dual meanings—in some regions of Norway, “boss” means trash. BOSS is a nod to both Norwegian heritage and the product’s strong, assertive presence.

I found it interesting to design a product that is directly linked to the broader topic of recycling. It is about rethinking waste and how we handle it, giving it a more prominent role in our daily lives. Plus, I have been searching for a waste bin that meets my own standards for a long time, but never found one.
