Design
High-concept design need not be aloof with its intelligence and beauty privy only to the privileged classes. It has every capability of becoming a meaningful part of the lives of every average Joe if such design is applied to everyday things, thereby increasing its functionality. This is already a trend in some markets, such as with economical mid-range retail chains like the United State’s “Target,” which features high design by creative forces like Michael Graves for practical home use.
And so we turn our attentions now to a fabulous website featuring designs that, well, maybe they don’t exactly make the world a better place, but certainly do accomplish the task of incorporating high design with the everyday functionality of the most commonplace of inventions …
Toilets.
That’s right, toilets. According to Socyberty.com, “the design of … public bathrooms, have an impact on the individual and society as a whole. Witness a worldwide initiative designed to educate society and improve the designs and structures of public restrooms.”
From invisible public toilets, to a “urinal bar” (we kid you not), the site features 10 examples of public toilets from all over the world, ranging from the innovative to the artisan to the … uh … bizarre.
