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.

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.”
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?
창덕씨 대단합니다….앞으로도 많은 기대할께요~ㅎㅎㅎ
one of the best designs i have seen in a long time hope you get it into production
this is really inspiring, indeed designers need to think deeper for the convinience of diabled users! hope it goes to production soon.
창덕선배 작품이 여기에도 있구나… 화이팅!
This needs to be in every public restroom. MAKE THIS
for some reason, it just doesn’t look comfortable getting back up to the wheel chair for the disabilities.
Please keep me informed - I am really interested in this and would like to put in our kitchen showroom
How are you?
I pair with Panasonic.
Panasonic makes a handrail toilet stool with. I am sold in Korea, but do not sell it?

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。
