Studio Marcelo Teixeira Ideas & Motion has developed a new version of one of the most well-known seats in world with the Pink Toilet. In fact, the designers just took old toilets from the garbage and transformed into funny and more comfortable pieces.
Re-thinking the seat was the main project from which this piece was born. One simple idea formulated around the concept of reuse has transformed such a mundane object into a lively object. Evidently, these fun, furry toilets encourage social interaction as well; many of them are popping up around unexpected areas in Brazil.
According to the toilet's designers, "We encourage, prepare, visualize and illuminate the beneficial way for others to follow, leading us all to this new time in which the environment is more sustainable, renewable, economically stable and socially fair."
