This stainless steel streamline urinal is a fascinating period design as it incorporates a wonderful repeating arch pattern. Design is central to our everyday lives and surrounds us everywhere we go, yet it's often taken for granted and often not given a second thought. This urinal highlights the fact that thought and process was applied to every facet of the Modernist design aesthetic. I love the company logo, "Morgans Radiant" of Melbourne; check out the sunbursts at the corners of the logo as well - the style of this logo and urinal is wonderful and screams 20th Century aesthetic!

Morgans Radiant of Melbourne has great Deco-ish sunbursts at the corners of the logo!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how a urinal works, but you are right... even ordinary, purely functional objects deserve good design.
