Den vanskelige pølle

Den vanskelige pølle
Er det seriøst at betegne et designprojekt som en skidegod idé? JA! I hvert fald hvis projektet hjælper de 13.000 børn (og mange, mange voksne), som hvert år kommer ind i sundhedssystemet, fordi de kæmper med socialt invaliderende afføringsproblemer. Ditte Marie Fog Ibsen og Julia Sand Skovsted har, 244 år efter opfindelsen af moderne sanitet, gendesignet toilettet, så kroppen automatisk indtager den optimale position til at komme af med pøllen på en ubesværet måde. Og bogen ’Leo og Lorten’ hjælper børn til den svære og tabuiserede snak om toiletproblemerne.

The Difficult Poop
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.
