The Magnuson Group, providers of high-design accessories and support furniture for commercial facilities, has introduced KASTA, a sleek and streamlined waste and recycling receptacle collection, available in four sizes and multiple finishes. KASTA, the Swedish word for “throw,” was designed in collaboration with Gensler, serving as product design consultant, and is Made in the USA. The freestanding modular receptacles are highly flexible and can be used independently or ganged to create just the right disposal streams for each end user’s specific needs and environments.
The sophisticated architectural shape, featuring distinct chamfered corners, is aesthetically pleasing and allows for cohesive integration into large, small, and medium-sized spaces ? from building lobbies and conference rooms to smaller breakout areas and common spaces. Refined and functional, KASTA is available in four sizes and two top options for a variety of configuration possibilities. Clean and informative label graphics easily identify and effectively communicate – with both text and icons – each receptacle’s designated function: Mixed Recycling, Glass, Metal, Plastic, Paper, Food Waste/Compost, Landfill.
With six body colors and nine top colors, KASTA is designed to fit seamlessly into any aesthetic. The wide range of finishes allows users to achieve a monochromatic look or to differentiate waste streams via color.
