Concept Toilet

People usually see public restroom as unsanitary and uncomfortable. However, this innovative toilet design by designer Nelson Ayala, in collaboration with Ana Maria Gordillo, looks to change the negative perceptions associated with public restrooms. It would try to do so by eliminating the need for intimate physical contact with the toilet. Due to the ergonomic design of the toilet, the user mounts the toilet with knees facing forward. Furthermore, this would help in avoiding contact between the user’s skin and the toilet.

The contact surface between the knee and the toilet is cushioned with foam for extreme comfort. Although the toilet is intended for all users, it may be particularly beneficial for physically challenged users. It’s because they are able to easily glide into the toilet for use. The toilet is made of white enforced ceramic and features a built-in automatic self-cleaning toilet system. It provides a hygienic, comfortable and modern solution for human waste disposal processes.

This type of toilet is very similar to the normal toilet. However, it has one exception. It has handles which could be taken up or down, depending on the need of the disabled person. Such a facility helps a disabled person for support and the cost of installation is very much on the same levels as that of a normal toilet. This HT4 concept is gaining more and more prominence today owing to its simple and versatile approach.

Going beyond of what we have these days, Mexican designer Cesar Estrada has designed an innovative toilet called the “HT4”. This accommodates all, from kids to handicapped and elderly people, with equal ease. Featuring moving arms that you can adjust in different positions for balance and comfort that also help people to stand and sit, the HT4 also includes an adjustable seat that goes higher for people without strength in their knees and legs and bends to the needs of different users.

9. Terrorist-proof toilet

With Moscow city officials breaking ground with the innovative idea of terrorist proof toilets, you might at last free your body of the toxins and ease yourself in a peaceful and secure environment. This design was unveiled by the Moscow officials at the Clean City Expo held in second week of June 2011.

The usual blue cabin toilets are replaced with terrorist proof, solar panel fitted, nanotechnology-equipped and self-maintaining toilets. Designed with fibrous concrete, the toilet has the capacity to withstand a bomb blast. It offers design flexibility with the option of molding the design so that it looks apt for the architectural surroundings. At the same time, solar panel fitting is also not mandatory for a toilet structure.

Nevertheless, solar panel fittings render the toilets energy efficient, the likes of which we have seen in Dubai. These self-maintaining toilets excellently address the usual complaint of dirty Porto-potties. Security has been incorporated as the key feature of the toilet design. This becomes evident with the inset alarm feature. The alarm goes off to call for emergency needs in case a user takes more than 30 minutes. Additionally, comfortable temperature would be maintained within the toilet.

The ideology of the terror proof toilet springs from the terror attacks that Russia has been through in the recent months. At present, the number of stationary toilets stands at 262, supplemented with several mobile blue cabins. Though it is in a nascent stage with no clarity of installations and price, the terrorist proof toilets indeed cater to the need of the hour.
