Prototype Of Universal Toilet Made
The Universal Toilet is a flexible toilet design useable by both individuals with disabilities and the general population that removes the social stigma of handicapped facilities. For users with disabilities, 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 other 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, users with disabilities need no longer feel self-conscious.
Designer: Changduk Kim & Youngki Hong

Wow, I really like this. Has anyone taken it up for production?

“We are currently seeking for our Universal Toilet production company.” “If you
have any questions please don’t hesitate to email.”
Brittney Greco says
How sustainable are you designing the toilet? etc:
Would it work off Grey water? How water efficient is it?
What materials would be used in it’s production?

Papa says
This needs to be in every public restroom. MAKE THIS
wanju says
for some reason, it just doesn’t look comfortable getting back up to the wheel chair for the disabilities.

the prototype being sold for an outrageous price is nothing more than a toilet seat with sides that slides over a regular toilet, a far, far cry from the elegant design propsed.

我很喜欢这款无障碍设计，十分的人性化，在设计中融入了设计者对于残疾人等群体的关心。
Cathy says
I think this is a great idea! How high is the seat from the floor?
xXblahXx says
very nice! but little kids might get stuck in the gap in between the chest board and toilet. can u make a smaller version?
russ says
if u r handicap, how do you wipe your….. after u r done? No way provided to lean forward. It also looks very unfomfortable for a handicap person to get his legs around. Furthermore, would your …. feel comfortable sitting in both the handicap and non handicap postions. Or would one feel A.. backwards?
It looks cool…

I’m in a wheelchair and wouldn’t be able to use it. I need back support and side railings to dress/undress.
Also, with foot support that can’t be folded away, like on my wheelchair, you couldn’t get close enough. Looks very difficult to get back up also.
Stylish, yes. Good enough for production for handicap toilets? Definitely not. Sorry.
maral says
this design is idiotic. I don’t think these guys understand disability at all.
yabe says
車椅子場合のアプローチ（移乗）が逆転発想なのが面白い。
Handicap says
This design needs arms and handrails on the side at the very least. Doesn’t work too well for something who recently had knee or hip surgery. Sliding forward like that on a wheelchair would be difficult especially with footrests.
DOBBY says
I ACTUALLY AM VERY INTERESTED IN THIS DESIGN. THERE IS A MOVEMENT AFOOT THAT IS A SERIOUS TROUBLE FOR THOSE OF US THAT USE THE MODERN TOILET BACKWARD BECAUSE OF HANDICAP. I WOULD BE ONE OF THOSE THAT POOP IN THE FRONT OF THE TOILET. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO POOP IN FRONT. I PERSONALTY CAN NOT SIT ON THE TOILET FORWARD AND FEEL LEFT OUT AND THE TOILET OF THE FUTURE THAT DOES THIS TYPE OF SEPARATION, HAPPY CLEAN UP AFTER ME! OR OFF THE FLOOR.
