The Portal is a [portable potty pod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clesana-x1-camping-toilet) that is designed by Jupe and it is made with influences from sci-fi themes that invite the idea of entering a new dimension. It has a metallic color with [mirrored walls along the exterior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metal-stool-1) and sharp edges that blend right into the landscape that it is placed in.

Due to the two-way glass facade, those that enter the pod can peer out to the surroundings, and additionally, it has a [retractable screen to provide more privacy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bay-work-pod). From the interior, it has about 3 times more space than the original portable. Additionally, it also has a lot of lighting and a ventilation system, and a 'Sky Portal' at the top to gaze up at the sky.
