This crapper country house was commissioned by Sim Jae-Duck of the [World Toilet Association](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bulk-hotel-dispenser). Previously covered on Trend Hunter as an uncanny [rental accommodation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-toilet), the Mr. Toilet House must be utterly flushed to become a full-fledged institution for the exhibition of [restroom relics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-changes-everything). Shaped like the seat and bowl of a real bathroom amenity, the Mr. Toilet House Toilet Museum really couldn't embody a better form to reflect the material showcased inside.
