Ukrainian architects 2-B-2 have sent us images of a toilet called Mrs Hudson.
The designers say the shape is based on a “modified water drop”.
It is believed to be named after the landlady of fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. Possibly.

Piping hot.

From a biological standpoint, this toilet is set much too high to be considered good design. A lower toilet seat is more conducive to an individual’s need. Victor Papanek talks about this in his book, “Design for the Real World.”
Pleasing shape though.

I guess you can polish a turd.

it looks hard to clean.

Pimp my toilet!
Even though I don’t really like the toilet, I gotta give positive credits to 2-B-2. This is something new!

Interesting design!!! At least there’s something identifiable with its shape and can be practically installed in one’s house…!!! Its not too flamboyant like most designers tend to produce in the anticipation of making something “Great”…!!!

THIS PIPE IS NOT PIPE………

It’s a nice shape and all but i have to agree that its too high for the proper biological function it is supposed to have been designed for and it would also be quite a pain to clean properly behind the seat.
So, nice object for a display perhaps but fails as a real world object that is used every day . . . . . .

Well … I think it looks cool and as for the cleaning part … this looks a lot easier to clean than any conventional toilet … so no remarks there either.
It does seem a bit high but no one can say anything about that as long as there is no one sitting on the toilet … there is no sense for scale in these pictures … but then again we wouldn’t want to see a picture with anyone actually sitting on this toilet anyway

does it blow smoke up my ass?
October 14th, 2008 at 11:05 am
looks a bit high up to be comfortable but i’d give it a try..
October 14th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Nice renderings

I agree with Ben on all accounts. Have any of you actually cleaned a conventional toilet? This would be a joy to clean; devoid of all the crevasses.
Also, have any of you used a taller toilet for users with hip problems that prevent low crouching? They are incredibly comfortable. The seating position is more like a chair.
