15 most unusual toilets - smile and be surprised

Man always wanted to make the place for departure of his every need as comfortable as possible. Ordinary citizens trim it with tiles, hang flowers on the walls and rejoice in cosiness. Holders of round sums in bank accounts of this, of course, is not enough. Some of them even arrange competitions among themselves - who will arrange the latrine more unusually (for themselves, and especially for customers - to boast). However, unless such a prose word can be called those works of art that are born in the lush heads of well-paid designers? We made a selection of the most creative public toilets in the world. And you decide yourself, I would like you, so to speak, to think about the eternal in such interiors.

1. Golden toilet bowls

The simplest thing that could come up with the human mind is a toilet made of gold. A designer from Hong Kong for only $ 5.7 million was able to metaphorically demonstrate the frailty of material values. True, the owners of an art object are not at all alien to healthy greed. There is a miracle toilet in the jewelry store, and if you have a certain generosity (you need to buy expensive jewelry for at least $ 200), you can even use it for its intended purpose.

Such hygienic accessories are necessary for such a toilet - even if it is only symbolic. And they exist.

Say, fake? And no. This roll, which contains 22 carats of gold, can actually be bought at a specialized Australian toilet paper man toilet and sanitary ware supermarket. I tried. And after entering all the necessary data (oh God!), The PayPal window opened to pay for the purchase! Thinking that it would be better to buy an apartment in Moscow for 1.3 million dollars (if I have them, of course, from somewhere), I pressed cancellation. And someone after all also will not press ...

2. Shopping closet

When a person is released from his long troubled small needs, he perceives advertising messages much more positively. At least, that's exactly what marketers at one of the shopping and entertainment centers in Germany think. The toilet in it is, firstly, attracts the representatives of the stronger sex by itself, and secondly, new collections of underwear are unobtrusively displayed here. They say that after a man visits such an institution, it is much easier for a lady to “unleash” him for an expensive purchase.

3. Erotomania from Frankfurt

These German architects went even further. What there semi-nude mannequins! Here are urinals in the form of ladies' mouths. By the way, in some European cities in a court of law prohibit the use of this part of the female body (of course, a symbolic, man-made) for such low-lying purposes. However, some citizens like to visit such closets. Perhaps this is how they assert themselves.

4. Show yourself ...

This is a much more innocent institution. But for the male, probably pleasant. Although it is difficult to say that pleasant in the administration of this ... process with witnesses - albeit unreal. But men know better.

5. For women only

The world will never be the same. Especially the validity of this statement you understand, looking at these devices here. Attempts to create a convenient "standing" urinal for ladies (especially for feminists who did not want to come to terms with sex differences in such an intimate process) have been made since the 20s of the last century, but there is still little success on this difficult and unclear why succeeded.

All the representatives of the fair sex that I surveyed had two questions at the sight of this photo: "Why?" and "And how?" Some, however, said it was better to be patient. Join now.

6. Dream Nerd

Standing, watering the flowers ...Designer from San Francisco Clark Sorensen created such urinals especially for romantic men. These "flowers" are from 6 to 13 thousand dollars. Even at this price they are in great demand. Apparently, there are plenty of nerds in the world.

7. The game will never end

This game closet was presented at one of the exhibitions of sanitary high-tech. For whom it is intended - it is clear: such people simply can not spend their precious time to be dragged to another room, and then back. Fortunately for the parents of Russian gamers, there is a set of "toilet + Xbox" transcendental money, so similar toilets in the world can be found in single copies. Although the owners could well save: the toilet can not be divided according to gender - people will not look at each other for sure.

8. "Lift" for night "snipers"

When darkness descends on the earth, and the forces of evil dominate the swamps ... No, not so. When twilight falls on the streets of London, these “warriors” come out of the ground, designed to shield the surrounding courtyards and gateways from the citizens who were impatient. And since there are plenty of beer bars around, the service is in great demand. The system is called Urilift. In the morning the toilet is lowered back and does not resemble itself about anything.

9. The room of fear

The reverse side of the work of Clark Sorensen. This is not a romantic faience flowers, there is a mocking brutality and subtle political hints.

 

George Bush Jr., when he was president among intellectuals, was not mocked by the lazy one. Now it is not so important, in the White House a new hero, but, they say, urinals are still popular even in America.

10. He painted on the sand ...

 

Sand has nothing to do with it, but those who wish can really “draw” in this conceptual toilet. thermochromic toilet caused great alarm among connoisseurs. When heat hits the wall, the blue color changes to orange. Thus, the banal help needs can be turned into a truly colorful and fun procedure. Sorry, the project has not yet been implemented somewhere other than design exhibitions.

11. Pomositsiruem?

This invention is also built on the contrast between the beautiful and the low. However, those who wish can also try to extract some notes from such a strange thing (I wonder where the plum is?) In a natural way, so to speak. Yes, this is not Schubert, Mozart or Bach, but after such a “concert” you are probably very enthusiastic.

12. The mute witness

And so that the girls would not be bored, in Japan they invented a mobile "assistant". It turns almost any dull bathroom into a very interesting place. Only in the dark you have to be careful, and then suddenly you will see such a bright young man - maybe you won't need a toilet.

13. Korean toilet architecture

The Toilet House and adjacent toilet park in the city of Suwon quickly became one of the most famous sights of South Korea. The former mayor of the city built these 419 square meters of steel, glass and white concrete for himself and his family. It is not surprising: this creative husband is the chairman of the World Association of Toilets. What is he, typical five-story building or something to build? After the death of Sim Jae-duca in 2009, the house-toilet turned into a museum. Anyone can wash here to get acquainted with the history of plumbing in the world. Children are particularly interested. Mr. Sim himself considered the toilet a place where culture should also reign.

15. Entertainment for the poor

In many countries there are poor settlements (the so-called Shanty Town). They consist of barracks created from old plastic, cardboard and other similar materials. They often do not have elementary conditions for life: sewage, electricity, gas. But people, even in such circumstances, try not to lose heart.

This toilet is located in one of these self-made towns in New Zealand and simply charges with a positive, which is so necessary for people in difficult living conditions.

15. Finally: I carry everything with me.

Well, it's just impossible not to mention such a vehicle:

This unusual bike was designed by the famous Japanese company TOTO. Nice girl at the wheel - Akiko Matsuyama, the official representative of the company "Toto".

Equipped with electronics toilet TOTO can do a lot. This heated seats, lights, music, some models even know how to do urine analysis.

But Toilet Bike NEO was created specifically to draw attention to the problem of environmental pollution. Than? With its design. The fact is that biofuel (if you can call it that) for the "iron horse" is produced ... by the driver himself. In addition to the fact that the motorcycle processes the products of human life, it can still play music and talk in common with its owner theme. So it will not be boring with such transport.

Not enough thrills?

Do you also want to have something original at home? Do not limit yourself. Be creative!
