MODO Step Trash Can by Nina Thöming for blomus

MODO Step Trash Can by Nina Thöming for blomus — A 0.8-gallon (3-liter) pedal bin with a soft-close lid, charcoal filter and removable inner bucket.

Part of MODO, Nina Thöming’s coordinated bathroom accessory series for the German design house blomus.

The Design Story

Thöming set the lid flush into the body of the MODO bin, so it reads as a clean cylinder rather than a trash can. Thöming, an industrial designer at Germany’s Flöz Design, built MODO as a family: every piece shares the same slim profile, the same soft radii and the same finishes, so a whole bathroom can be furnished in one design language.

MODO treats the bathroom as one composition: round profiles, softly rounded corners and finishes that run from brushed steel to deep black and warm brass.

Why You’ll Love It

Hands-free, quiet and good-looking enough to stand next to the vanity.

Made for Real Life

Wipe with a soft cloth moistened with lukewarm water, then dry it to avoid water spots; avoid abrasive or chemical cleaners. blomus describes the titanium coating on the colored and metallic finishes as durable and resistant to scratches and corrosion. Pairs well with the MODO wire basket, MODO toilet roll holder and MODO toilet brush.

Product Details

Where It Shines

It looks at home beside a vanity in a brass-accented bathroom, in a white powder room, or under a desk.

Questions We Hear Most

Is the MODO step trash can good for a bathroom?

Yes. Its compact size and odor filter suit bathrooms and guest toilets.

Which step trash can finish should I choose?

Brass adds warmth and pairs with brass taps; white disappears in a light bathroom.

Can I use the step trash can in a kitchen?

blomus says it works in the kitchen or other rooms too, though 0.8 gallon is small for kitchen waste.

Do I need to touch the lid of the step trash can?

No. The foot pedal opens it hands-free.

Who designed the MODO step trash can?

Nina Thöming of the German studio Flöz Design.

When will my MODO step trash can leave the warehouse?

In-stock orders usually leave within 2–3 business days.

Why We Love It

Bathroom accessories are touched every day, and MODO makes each of those small moments feel considered. From a small town in Germany’s old steel region, the Blome family has gone from bicycle parts (1921) to metal gifts (1961) to the design label blomus (2000), still family-run in its fourth generation. LoftModern is an authorized blomus retailer.
