Chic Trashcans

Moving Waste Bin Design by Grace Youngeun Lee

Grace Youngeun Lee's waste bin is a chic design with a dirty purpose. Instead of using the same old kitchen garbage bins as everyone else in the world, you can have something different and not ruin your decor.

This garbage bin is not unlike other pedaled bins, but instead of the lid opening, the actual bin moves out towards you. This sleek motion is emphasized by a color and dimensional contrast.

Implications - With the moving waste bin, taking out the garbage doesn't have to be such a dirty and daunting process. The bin is sleek and subtle, and will fit into any living space and have house guests endlessly searching for the bin.
