Chen & Karlsson designed the Peeandgo, a urinal for women, and I don't know whether to start singing some women's lib song, or to run for the hills. The designers drew their inspiration for the golden urinal from the traditional squat toilets found in Asia and the Middle East.
While I ponder my role in this quasi revolution, I think I will be sticking to the traditional toilets for the time being.
