I was in Germany last week for a press trip at the headquarters of bathroom designer Duravit and collaborative fixture manufacturer Hansgrohe. There wasn’t much time to photograph more than this sassy facade designed by Philippe Starck. It’s a giant toilet. A giant toilet in which one can stand and take in the bucolic beauty of the Black Forest. It’s certainly nothing if not inventive. There are a couple of other photos of general things of interest around the area, including a lovely waterfall and a pious window display, but all in all, photography had to take a backseat to note taking on this trip.
