Japanese Aquarium Womens Bathroom

The Mumin Papa Café in Akashi, Japan, is decorated with deep-sea creatures. But the live three-wall aquarium envelops the stall one-ups standard wallpaper by a large margin. The underwater restroom costs $270,000 to build and is ladies-only, except for the giant sea turtle swimming around. The surrounding aquarium was designed to mimic the feeling of relieving yourself while swimming in the ocean.

Japanese like to take the ordinary and flip it up. Going to the bathroom isn’t something most look forward too – at least with men. Get in and get out. No talking, no looking around – pick a spot on the wall and stair at it.

However, bathroom for women is like a social gathering for gossip, make-up, and whatever else women do when they go off to “powder their nose”

Highbrow Haze: Restaurants' Art Installation Makes Smoke Sculpture

A new gourmet barbecue restaurant in San Francisco plays on our sense of taste and smell by covering the ceiling with an undulating sculpture inspired by clouds of smoke. Interpretations of the abstract black fins vary, with Fast Company likening it to the Smoke Monster from Lost, and the San Francisco Chronicle seeing “the charred spine of a brontosaurus.” But there’s no denying it’s an unusually sensitive use of computer-designed laser-cutting—a technique that’s been used to kitschy effect far too often in the past.
