Boing Boing: Trompe l'oeil ski-toilet mural

 

This Japanese ski resort toilet has everything: a vertiginous, trompe l'oeil mural, a pink toilet that washes your bum, AND an incomprehensible slogan for a brand of tinned coffee!


Georgia Max Coffee chose to redesign the toilets of a number of key ski resorts in Japan. The cubicles were fully wrapped on all sides, so that the person caught short would have a ski jumper’s view when they were sitting on the loo. The person could look down at their skis (simply printed on the floor of the cubicle) and see the steep ski jump slope ahead of them. The toilet paper holder carried the only brand messaging in the cubicle, reading: “Seriously kick-ass intensely sweet for the real coffee super zinging unstoppable Max! Taste-explosion!”
