东京设计公司Nendo与硬件供应商SUGITA ACE共同研发出一套简单、创新的便携厕所（minimLET）。该厕所诞生的初衷在于日本近年来地震、海啸灾害的不断增加，用于解决灾区人们体面的如厕。便携厕所套装主要由六部分组成：C形座圈、四根轻质铝杆、垃圾袋、一大块轻质帆布、凝结剂以及一个容纳以上物品的背袋。另外这个背袋还可以储水16升，紧急时刻可以利用。组装和使用很简单，初级用法只需将垃圾袋固定在C形圈上，再用铝杆支撑起来即可。使用时将帆布像雨衣一样穿在身上，坐在那里即可享受。方便到简直可以随地大小便了……另外，C形座圈还设计了相关连接配件，理论上利用四个灌满沙子的饮料瓶子甚至固定起来的易拉罐都可以起到支撑作用。这样多余出来的铝杆可以作为另一个支撑结构，如果这时有把雨伞，就可以将雨伞和帆布结合后就可以撑起一个小屋子。这样就造了一座“豪华”版的临时厕所。

Innovation | No more hide and relieve, Nendo designs mobile toilets

Tokyo design firm Nendo and hardware supplier co-developed an innovative and simple mobile toilet device. Aiming at the hit of natural disasters in Japan recently, the minimLET flat-packed toilet was developed to help people relieve themselves decently. These include six aluminum pipes, a toilet seat, a nylon cloth for shelter, tissues, garbage bags and coagulent all packed into a slim carry bag that can be slung over the shoulder. The bag can also hold 16 litres of water for emergency. It’s easy to use. One can fix the garbage bag around the seat, and put it up with the pipes. The nylon cloth will be put on like raincoat while one sits one the seat. The seat also can use bottles with sands to act as a leg for its toilet, and then the pipes can be used as another holding structure. If the umbrella is at hand, it will be even better. The umbrella and the cloth can become a small house to build a luxury toilet for temporary use.
