Hasta La Ideas

Iota is an ingenious solution that not only uses considerably less water than standard toilets, but even has a smaller physical footprint in the bathroom! The magic is in a folding mechanism that makes it just a third the size of a standard toilet! Watch it almost disappear!

The folding bowl houses a built-in U bend that disengages from the waste pipe whilst still maintaining an air tight seal. When closed in the flush position, the U bend reengages simultaneously when the cistern flushes. A current standard toilet uses 6 liters of water on ever flush while Iota only uses 2.5 liters. That’s more than 50% less!

Designer Masahiro Minami’s “Renca” and “Suirin” washbowls for the SOUHOUGAMA line are the first of their kind, composed of translucent ceramic made from special Japanese clay. The artistic patterns of each are highlighted by internal LED light that passes through the milky material, creating a warm diffused glow and surprising contrast to the water feature.

As useful as porta-potties might be for concerts, festivals and other events, they have become a symbol of… well… just plain nastiness! We’re long overdue for a new standard of portable restroom and the FACETOCH is a step in the right direction. The mobile unit includes both men’s and women’s facilities and utilizes solar energy and water recovery to operate while also focusing on privacy and hygiene. If nothing else, the aesthetic is just a helluva lot more inviting!
