PACKS. BLOGS. GRAPHIC. Prime Cuts: Slash without the splash. Published 28 July 2011 Posted by Tanya Weaver Article tagged with: design, prime cuts, innovation, prototyping Unbeknown to me being a female, a rather unpleasant phenomenon often occurs in the men’s urinal – splash back. Although many men may not realise it, conventional urinals routinely splash the user, the walls, the floor and potentially other users with urine. This is due to a simple design flaw: fluid hitting a flat, perpendicular surface will always reflect back as splash. Many solutions to this problem have been proposed however, these generally aim to cure the symptoms (say, by catching the splash) rather than actually removing the fundamental problem.
Goodwin Hartshorn have taken a different approach. The London-based product designers originally approached sanitary-ware company Ideal Standard in 2005 with a new design for eliminating splash from conventional wall-hung urinals. Goodwin Hartshorn updated the aesthetics and refined the form of the ageing products. Wicked Halo: Your source for all things wicked and awesome. KNSTRCT. Josh Spear, Trendspotting. Swissmiss.
