Urinal Sculptures

We love it when designers tackle non-traditional items, reinventing them as functional works of art. For example, Clark Sorensen has created a line of urinal sculptures which remain useful even though he has made them more visually appealing than you would have imagined a urinal could be. Each of the urinals is hand-sculpted from porcelain and is completely unique. They are designed to be plumbed and, as they are made from the same material as commercial toilets, they can easily be substituted. Sorensen has a vision of these pieces in galleries or at any other institution that would embrace such an unusual art installation. Prices range from $6,500 to $9,500 per unit.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give these urinals an 8. In other words "your an eight".

Nice comment, Chris Doktor---too bad you are grammatically-challenged.

My husband wants to install a urinal in our home and I think those urinal "sculptures" are the only way one is coming into our bathroom!

There are way too many grammatically challenged individuals out there...don't they teach grammar in our schools anymore?!?

I think these are great, being an artist myself.I would love to know how many he sells, if any. We all know the story of the starving artist.

I've hear of "Watering the LIlies" but this is something else! Wow!
Elise Nov 27th 2006 8:51PM
I think they are beautiful, but... sadly wasted on men. LOL I somehow can't picture my husband thinking they are cool :)-
Linda Nov 27th 2006 8:56PM
For a rather ugly if not ordinary piece of plumbing to be artistically interpreted this way I say WOW.
Designers will love this treatment
Dance Clubs will love this application
Anyone interested in providing the basic channel for the basic function of life will find this intriguing and very, very creative.

Those are exquisite. They would look nice in the world famous toilets of KawaKawa in New Zealand

These are cool. You have a weird fantasy, Seamunky.

I like it! I mean, I've peed on the beach and in the garden a few times, what the hell? Would I pay that much for it? Not when for a quarter of the price I could buy something to do the same job in a 100 year old English Ironstone transferware. For what they are asking, I could buy a flo-blu urinal....LOL...Now wouldn't that be a hit with the other antique collectors? It might also be prettier, and with transfer ware you could still pee on the flowers! Such a deal...

Buy one and the In-Laws will never be able to say you couldn,t afford a pot to piss in! :)
JEANNE Nov 27th 2006 9:19PM
