"It is only a toilet but it should show that even small things can bring beauty into our life.

We live only once and money making is not all.

It is harmony with beauty and harmony with nature which makes us really feel good.

Beauty has an important function.

Beauty is always underestimated."

-Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1999)

Disclaimer: Do not drink water out of your toilet!
