LA-based Brendan Ravenhill has just launched a multi-functional Dustbin, a trash can featuring a detachable lid that doubles as a dustpan (a companion brush is magnetically affixed to the side). Ravenhill used local fabricators to make a completely homegrown product from start to finish. "The Made in the USA label isn't seen as much as it once was," Ravenill says, "but LA is rich in production talent, and I am constantly surprised by the companies I find locally that are globally competitive in their fields." The powder-coated steel Dustbin is available in white or blue (or a combination of both) and is $160 directly from Ravenhill.
