LED Trashcan

Design hack on the SimpleHuman 4.5 Liter trashcan.

Creates an always-evolving illumination effect based on what has been thrown away.

Different materials and colors interact with each other to create beautiful textures and lighting effects.

LED Trashcan functions using a tilt sensor in the lid, so when the user opens the foot-actuated can, the LED's automatically turn on (and automatically turn off when the lid is closed).
