When it comes to portable potties, irritating smell would be the first thing that comes to mind.

Holy potty is a mobile toilet combining fabric materials. It not only has a different appearance but is also easier for transportation. We broke the present toilets’ conservative form, and added some functional features to make it a relaxing space for users.

Transportation

The squat-use toilet is set inside, while the men’s urinal is placed outside. The volume of the squat-use toilet can be reduced by folding the fabric material, which turns the main body into a triangle shape when transporting.

Arrangement

The arrangement of Holy Potties is more flexible because of its well-designed appearance. They can be placed in a circular or linear arrangement depending on the environment in which they are used. In addition, when they are arranged in a circle, space inside offers men their private toilet room, which makes users feel comfortable.

We also proposed the concept of shared water tanks. By linking water tanks, water could be supplied or used at the same time. The device not only solves the problem of each mobile toilet having different remaining water volume but also makes water supplementation more convenient.

Assembly

At first, toilet components should be disassembled and delivered to the destination. Second, set the stand use toilet on the planned position and secure the front door. Put squat-use toilet on the right and fix it together with the door and the water tank. Finally, mount the cloth on the main body and ensure the safety and privacy of the toilets. When all steps are completed, connect the device with water pipes.

Toilets are not just to address the physical needs. Providing the users a relaxing atmosphere and space is also important.

The cloth material can be changed into posters, advertisements, or even the logo of the Ocean Music Festival, depending on the activities held.
