Restaurant Hires Designers To Redecorate Their Bathroom But Doesn’t Allow To Change The Tiles, So They Do This

ADVERTISEMENT

If we don’t take our smartphones to the bathroom, sitting there becomes quite boring. Unless you’re visiting this one! Gyva Grafika, a creative design and decor studio from Lithuania, has perfectly upgraded the walls of an old toilet, bringing the outside to the inside.

A restaurant called Galeria Urbana asked them to redecorate their old bathroom without removing its tiles. So, the artists photographed a Kaunas neighborhood they grew up in and printed some stickers. The result is an unusual interactive experience like we haven’t seen before.

“Lithuania often neglects its public spaces,” Gyva Grafika told Bored Panda. “A lot of people live in the cleanest apartments but once they step outside the situation changes completely. Stairwells, yards, and other public spaces are usually abandoned and ignored. For this reason, we have decided to balance these daily surroundings and introduced the outside to the inside.” Thus, the “WC for architects” was born.

Following the success of the project, Gyva Grafika is selling tiles just like these. If you’re interested, contact them on social media.

“There were people who didn’t trust the paparazzi they saw through their windows. Some even went outside to question us”

“But we would tell them about the art project we were working on and they would happily leave us alone”
