Toilet of the Future!

January 21st, 2010

If it were bio­log­i­cally nec­es­sary for movie char­ac­ters to go to the bath­room, this would be the toi­let in Blade Run­ner and 2001.  I half-expected the designer to be Syd Mead.

For futur­ists and con­ser­va­tion­ists (and other peo­ple who use toi­lets)!  Sleek, inte­grated design – com­pact enough for an apart­ment in Man­hat­tan or Tokyo.  Plus, it re-uses water from the sink to flush the toi­let!  It’s the all-in-one loo:

The Home Core con­cept inte­grates the toi­let bowl, sink, mir­ror and a van­ity table into one. How­ever, this is not the cen­tral theme for this all-in-one-loo. There is a water stor­age tank right below the sink, where you can choose to store the cur­rently used water or allow it to drain off. (The stored water is meant for flush­ing the pot) Also, the water pres­sure from the tap can be mod­er­ated to four dif­fer­ent lev­els, giv­ing you the sat­is­fac­tion of con­serv­ing some resource.
