KITE MINI RECYCLING UNITS AND WASTE BINS
KITE MINI RECYCLING UNITS AND WASTE BINS
Designed By David Doms & Annica Doms
Kite, has taken both its name and its appearance from the geometric shape of a kite. The straight angles gives a bold and exciting expression, while they harmonize well with the room and its shape.
The unique shape holds angles of 60 °, 90 ° and 120 ° which makes it ideal for placement in corners of varying angles. Kite mini is based on the same form and is an exact copy of Kite , but in reduced size. This gives a clear “family feeling” and a unified expression.
Kite mini is intended for smaller spaces, for example under desks, hotel rooms or smaller conference rooms. The Kite mini also has a wall bracket, which means that it can be placed on a wall. As a single or in pairs to free up floor space.
Well-thought-out design and click system for easy assembly. Kite mini has no fittings and requires no tools, which means you can assemble it by hand in just 4 minutes.
It is thanks to the well-thought-out design that the sides are clicked into each other and are then ready to use.
DESIGNER
DAVID DOMS, STUDIO DOMS
Designer and founder of Studio Doms. David has a master’s degree in industrial design from Luleå University of Technology and has also studied lighting and luminaire design.
Studio Doms was started in 2010 and the company is today active in the areas of furniture design, product design, design strategy and graphic design. SKAPA can boast a number of design awards, including the German Design Award, the Good Design Award and the Design S.
David Doms finds much of his inspiration by observing people’s movements and behaviors in natural environments, often during subway trips. Impressions from reality are important input values in the design process and in the collaboration with TreCe.
Being a designer means an eternal search for solutions. It is important to understand the user’s needs and to meet them with solid design, smart mechanics and utilization of the material’s properties.
ANNICA DOMS, STUDIO DOMS
Designer trained at Luleå University of Technology. During the internship at the architectural firm Ortner & Ortner in Cologne, interest was aroused in rooms, interior design and furniture. In connection with her degree project, Annica came into contact with TreCe and has since designed many products.
Annica’s thesis, Trash Kite, was awarded the “Designers’ Nobel Prize” Red Dot Design Award for its innovative form and German Design Award Winner 2020. Today, Annica is a design consultant at Studio Doms.
The collaboration with TreCe is based on relevant and well-thought-out design that supports every function, inspired by functional design from the past.
In every tool, fitting and mechanical solution that each generation has accumulated, there is an ingenious function.
The mechanics are at the center and the properties of the material have been cleverly taken advantage of. Manufacturing techniques and joining solutions are so clearly accounted for old things.
They are not hidden behind tops and covers, but exposed. Often they are, perhaps for that reason, also so much more beautifully made.
When everything is analog it helps me to scale away, to think clearly. When the trend reports explode I find my inspiration and color scales where trends don’t exist, among the lichens of the rocks, the straw of the field or the flowers of the garden.
Products that has been developed together with TreCe are Kite, Kite mini, Soft, Birdie och Ridge.

SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is in our business DNA, woven into products from the drawing board to end use and further more to material recycling. A key factor for sustainable progress is curiosity and being open to new solutions such as recycled materials, design for circular economy, fewer components, etc. Therefore, we have designed Kite mini with click mounting for easy material recycling and chosen a base with 100% recycled ABS plastic.
