Paper bag rack, Everyday Design

The Helsinki bag holder from Everyday Design is a smart and stylish solution for recycling at home. It keeps the paper bag firmly in place and makes recycling both easier and more organised. With its slim shape and thoughtful design, it works just as well in the kitchen as in the hallway or storage room – even where space is limited.

Stylish and functional design

The stand is designed by Helena Mattila and made in Finland. The simple, minimalist shape in powder-coated steel blends into most homes without looking like a typical recycling station. Instead of dreary piles of newspapers and cardboard, you get a neat solution that you can keep on display as part of your interior. 

Made for recycling

The bag holder is compatible with standard paper bags from the grocery store. It also works for plastic bags, fabric bags and bags made of other materials. The open construction makes it easy to insert and remove the bag when emptying.

For an efficient sorting station, you can place two holders with bags next to each other and a third bag in between. That way you easily create a flexible recycling setup tailored to your household's needs.

More uses around the home

The holder is more than just a bag stand. It works equally well for storing newspapers, recyclable paper or cardboard. Place it in a child's room for toys, in the hallway for hats and gloves, or in the living room for blankets.

Its light weight makes it easy to move when needed. Without a bag, it can also be used as a firewood rack next to the wood stove.

Robust metal construction

The Helsinki bag holder is made of metal and has a hard-wearing, powder-coated surface. Powder coating means the colour is fused onto the metal, giving a durable and even finish that withstands everyday wear.

The construction is stable despite its slim shape. It is built for daily use and is easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth when needed.

Designed and made in Finland

The Helsinki bag holder is both designed and manufactured in Finland. Helena Mattila has been CEO and chief designer of Everyday Design since 1995. Her work has received international recognition and several design awards. Products from the brand have also been included in the collections of MoMA in New York and Design Museum London, among others. The design is characterised by functionality, durability and a clear connection to nature and ecological thinking.
