When I was unable to attend this year’s Dwell Magazine convention I asked my friend and neighbor Bill Wheelock to make sure and get a photo of any square toilets he might see for the Root Simple blog. Thank you Bill!
Don’t worry, I’m not pondering dropping $1,000 on a square toilet. But, thanks to my curiosity about this modernist design phenomenon, square toilets are now haunting me via contextual ads all over the interwebs. Now wherever I wander along the tubes of cyberspace there is the square toilet accompanying me on the journey.
I actually think it looks better than the normal ones! Perhaps because it doesn’t necessarily look like a toilet per se… 🙂
(Off topic: could you guys maybe write a blog about your top-10 favorite/most used DIY tools? For example, I would like to buy an all-purpose saw for little projects but there are so many different kinds to choose from…!)
Hey Dutchgirl–great idea. We may talk about tools on our next podcast, but I did a old post on this subject: https://rootsimple.wpengine.com/2011/12/three-power-tools-every-urban-homesteader-should-own/.
It’s funny how it takes just one Google search and contextual ads for square toilets haunt you for the next year. I made the mistake of reading some random article about the vegetables that have the most fiber per serving, now occasionally I go somewhere on the Internet and strange websites seem to think I have a problem with constipation…
HAHA!!! I think this must fulfill some deeply held lego fantasy from our youths! I can’t imagine it would be comfortable.
Time for the AdBlock extension. Then you can search for all the toilets, square or not, unmolested.
These seem designed more for a fashion look than for comfort. I’d be bumping into those square corners…ouch!
I picture these at clearance sales in a few years marked down from $1,000 to $50.
That looks like a PITA to clean, frankly.
The wall-mounted model has some sleek minimalist appeal, but the free-standing model just screams “Minecraft”.
