Background
The Difficult Poop.
Poosition
Is it appropriate to designate a design project as ‘a shitload’ of good ideas? YES! At least if the project helps the 13,000 children (and many, many adults) who enter the healthcare system every year because they are struggling with socially debilitating bowel problems. Almost 244 years after the invention of modern sanitation Ditte Marie Fog Ibsen and Julia Sand Skovsted have redesigned the toilet, so that the body automatically assumes the optimum position to get rid of the poop in an effortless manner. And the book Leo og Lorten (Leo and the Poop) helps children engage in the difficult and taboo-like talk about toilet problems
