The hooded man posing with a wastebasket is none other than the ubiquitous designer Philippe Starck. Starck participated in an event to design Vipp wastebaskets for a benefit to raise money for children in Mozambique affected by AIDS. The event which included 30 French designers raised 35,000 euros with 2800 euros being bid on Starck's bin alone.

Does VIPP have distribution partners in the United States? I would be interested in supporting this charity event in any way I possibly could by designating a percentage of all sales of VIPP wastebaskets.
