The Bog Standard is a revamped toilet seat. Although it looks rather traditional, especially since it is fashioned out of wood, it boasts a built-in toilet paper holder that gives the Bog Standard a rather shocking appearance. It is so ingrained in most people to reach to the side for toilet paper, that so see a front-loading one is almost jarring.
Designed by Henry Franks, a product designer based in Oxford, United Kingdom, the Bog Standard is meant as a bit of a joke. Franks writes, "Making people talk about an event by designing an experience using a humorous product hopefully brings awareness of how mundane or everyday products could be enhanced, and if nothing else hopefully brings a smile to the user." It certainly does that.
