While the world's population gets exponentially larger, the world itself seems to be getting smaller. This is not only because all those new bodies are taking up the formerly expansive geographical spaces betwixt and between, but also because of the growth of technology and the subsequent diminishment of the culture gap. All this physical and metaphorical narrowing has created a pressing need for a better use of space. So however much you may admire your Dornbracht Supernova, or your Duravit Ketho Bathroom Collection, it may be that the wave of the future is being ridden by companies like Hatria, whose G-Full Compact Bathroom Solutions propose having your cake and eating it too.

G-Full. Designed by Hatria.

A Compact and Space-Saving Bathroom Solution

Maybe that's not the best analogy when discussing WCs, but really, who among us hasn't enjoyed a confection or two in the loo? And one of the great things about G-Full is that it hides the traditional bathroom throne beneath a slatted expanse of attractive wood. But that's just the top dressing for Hatria's monoblock toilet and bidet: "The large solid wood slat bench turns into a G-Full shelf, amplifying the function of the object that discovers a new meaning." There may be a shade or two lost in the translation, but the meaning is clear. G-Full is an auspicious approach to Euro-style bathrooms (a concept that may shortly include our continent as well).

G-Full's functional components "float" above a pair of modular ceramic benches that can be positioned linearly or in an "L" configuration. The design gives you the freedom to find the best use for your particular diminutive space. Bench #1 houses a toilet and bidet, while Bench #2 incorporates one or two raised washbasins and an open length of countertop. The fold-down lid covers up the whole works, and-as mentioned earlier-provides a handy space for sitting to apply makeup, trim toenails, or just comfortably disrobe.

G-Full may yet feel like close quarters to some-especially us Norteamericanos so invested in our beloved elbow room-but it promises to fulfill all the exigencies of daily hygiene, at substantially lower resource costs and not without a good groat's worth of style.
