The Universal Toilet is a flexible toilet design useable by both the disabled and general population that removes the social stigma of handicapped facilities. For the disabled, even a dedicated handicapped toilet requires maneuvering, especially when in a wheelchair. With the Universal Toilet users don’t need to turn or twist but can simply slide forward off the wheelchair directly onto the toilet. There is even a chest board to lean against for added stability and comfort. Handles on the chest board can also be of use when standing or transferring between the wheelchair. For non-disabled users, the chest board becomes a backboard to lean against. The Universal Toilet is also very space efficient, requiring only a quarter of the space of existing handicapped toilets. And since the toilet’s sleek, curving forms are like nothing seen before, handicapped users need no longer feel self-conscious.

Universal toilet concept could replace handicap stalls

This universal toilet design is the work of Changduk Kim and Youngki Hong. It was designed to eliminate the need for oversized handicap-accessible bathroom stalls that always seem to be larger than my studio apartment. The commode part of the toilet can be sat on frontward or backward to easily accommodate wheelchair users and the average pooping Joe. The wall-mounted part of the toilet includes handles, a chest/back rest and an attached sink.
This toilet concept is no different than the usual slew of futuristic products that includes a lot of smooth, contoured lines, angled shapes and a lack of color. Seriously, flatten out that toilet seat. It's just asking to cut off circulation, therefore creating that dreaded "toilet dead leg." — Travis Hudson

This 120 square meter loft is located on the top floor of the house in Piacenza, Italy and belongs to Romolo Stanco. The ground floor is 81 square meter while a first floor is 42 square meter. The white color is dominating around the floors and hightlights the shadows, the distances and the independent elements like chairs, a sofa, a table and other furniture. When you enter the home you see an open space that seeks a balance between the linearity imposed by the long, parallel main walls. The central table in structural glass (design Romolo Stanco for NIccolai), surrounded by Panton chairs (Verner Panton for Vitra) filters the living room open space in a quiet, understated way, also providing a counterpoint to the sofa. The loft area, which can only be reached by climbing the suspended dinosaur-back like stairs, is the relax-night zone. It is only separated from the living room by a glass that has the same function of theatrical wings. The essential, low bed is opposed to the expressive bathtub (“La vasca” by Matteo Thun).
