1. TetraBin

This amazing idea was created by designers Sam Johnson and Steven Bai. The installation was debuted at the Vivid Sydney, one of the largest lighting festivals in the world. The idea here is to create an interactive dust bin using LED panels and interesting music. The panels represent the beloved video game Tetris, so the idea is to throw garbage of various shapes into various points of the bin to break down the blocks, just like the video game.
