Tanova pull-out laundry hampers made their debut in February 2012, in what we believe to be not just a New Zealand first, but a global first!
Today, the Tanova team continue to work tirelessly, bringing order and functionality to one of the busiest rooms in the home.
Tanova pull out laundry hamper systems are the ideal solution for managing household laundry and using laundry storage space efficiently, while keeping washing out of sight.
Whether powder-coated steel or plastic, our laundry baskets are vented to facilitate airflow and breathability, reducing mustiness.
The entire Tanova laundry range carries the New Zealand Made licence.

Designer Series
Premium by design.
With superior 60kg load capacity runners, built-in soft-close and optional dividers and top cover, Tanova Designer Series laundry hampers are a premium laundry solution.
For cabinets from 350mm to 800mm wide, Designer Series laundry systems are in classic white with steel or plastic hamper options. Several have two baskets to aid with pre-wash sorting—though we can’t train the kids to put garments in the right basket!

Designer Series 2
Premium made practical.
Like the Designer Series 2 kitchen bin systems, this laundry hamper range is built on 70kg load capacity runners with soft-close and optional push-to-open functionality.
Built on premium Simlead slimline drawers, push-to-open functionality is ‘ever-active’. Just bump it with your knee or hip and, even if already partially open, it will open further; ideal when you have your arms full of muddy sports gear.
Designer Series 2 offers models with 1 or 2 hampers and options for cabinets from 350mm to 700mm wide.

Frequently asked questions about Tanova Laundry Hamper Systems.
Are Tanova laundry hampers New Zealand made?
Yes! The entire Tanova laundry range carries the New Zealand Made licence.
How do I properly look after my Tanova laundry unit?
We have a handy care and maintenance guide to help. You can download it from our Resources page.
I have a Tanova laundry unit that isn’t opening and/or closing correctly. Can you help?
Of course! We stand behind our Tanova laundry range with a warranty that is extensive and we’re here to help. Please contact us on in**@*******co.nz and one of our clever tech support people will be in touch to help diagnose what’s going on.
I have a soft-close Tanova laundry hamper and the opening and closing action is different to that of the soft-close drawers in my laundry. Why is that?
Different brands of drawer runner/drawer slide have different opening and closing actions, different load capacities and different ‘recovery’ periods after an opening/closing cycle.
Your drawers are likely built on a soft-close runner brand that differs from that used for your Tanova laundry hamper. This does not mean that either of them is not working properly.
The Tanova laundry range is quite large! How do I find the right model for my laundry?
Here’s a couple of tips to help you narrow down to just the most suitable models:
- First, decide whether you want a full pull-out unit on its own runners or a drawer insert model that will sit on your own drawer.
- Next, decide what your available cabinet width is. This will eliminate many units.
- Decide whether you want a powder-coated steel basket or a plastic basket. If plastic, decide whether you want one basket or two. This will also eliminate many models. (For two hampers you’ll need a modular cabinet width of at least 450mm. However, some of our powder-coated steel baskets have an optional divider that splits the basket.)
- If you want two plastic baskets, you can then choose whether they are both white or whether you have one in white and one in dark grey (which can be helpful for pre-wash sorting).
I’d like to see Tanova laundry units in action. Do you have any showrooms?
We have our own showroom in Christchurch. It’s at 4 Morse Road in Wigram and is open 10am to 2pm Monday to Friday, by appointment.
Elsewhere in New Zealand, we have many kitchen maker/joiner partners who have TANOVA products installed in their showroom. Check the Showrooms page on our FIT website to find the ones close to you.
