A Toilet Seat Inspired by the MacBook Air

It’s sleek, elegant, surprisingly durable, and you use it in the lobby of a Starbucks.

It’s the MacBook Air, a laptop popular not only for its capabilities, but also for its visual design and physical properties. Pinkhouse, a design studio in New York City, used it as the basis for its new toilet seat. Core77 describes why you would want to sit upon it:

It was the brainchild of Tan, who envisioned a toilet-seat chair that would translate the same comfortable experience one spends in the bathroom idly flipping through Instagram to anywhere else in the home. Using a standard store-bought toilet seat as the seating surface, Tan created bent-laminated wooden legs to hold the plastic structure. While the design certainly stirred up conversation in classroom critiques, Tan found himself frustrated with both the quality and shape of the standard seat and wanted to push the design further.

Unlike Instagram, though, this toilet seat does not come with filters.
