This waste bin is designed by Grace Youngeun Lee, who's a 3D Design student at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan, USA.
The elegance of Lee's bin is multi-level. It consists of two only pieces, and has no breakable elements like hinges. The latter is thanks to Lee's smart design:
By stepping on the pedal, the bin opens towards you - yet the cover remains stationary.
Nice one!
