About Tokumitsu Taanto Interijer javnog toaleta

Tokumitsu Taanto interijer je javnog toaleta smješten u Hakusanu, Ishikawa, Japan. Prostorija zauzima 25 četvornih metara, a visina stropa iznosi 2,90 metara. Zidove prekriva više od 3.000 pločica sa zlatnim listićima. Svaka pločica je porculanska pločica dimenzija 200 x 200 milimetara s teksturiranom površinom, dovršena ručno nanesenim zlatnim listićima iz Kanazawe. Pločice su postavljene na tamnu pozadinu, a neizravna rasvjeta raspoređena je tako da istakne reflektirajuću kvalitetu zlata. Dizajn primjenjuje tradicionalni japanski obrt na suvremeni javni prostor.
