When Nature Calls Toilet Paper Capsule

When-Nature-Calls-Outdoor-Toilet-Paper-Roll-4 When-Nature-Calls-Outdoor-Toilet-Paper-Roll-1 When-Nature-Calls-Outdoor-Toilet-Paper-Roll-2 When-Nature-Calls-Outdoor-Toilet-Paper-Roll-3

This is so smart! I bet you can make it yourself, for your camping and canoeing trip!

When Alberta College of Art & Design asked their design students to create something that generates social or economic value, students Sarah JensenJanet MolchankoAmy Pon, and Morgan Smith immediately thought of one thing – number 2.

An adventure in the great outdoors comes at a steep compromise of comfort, and when nature calls, leaves don’t always do the trick. In response to the discomfort of forests-sans-toilets, Jensen, Molchanko, and Smith created a waterproof toilet paper capsule made from a 2L plastic soda bottle, a resealable bag, reflective tape, silicone, twine, and recycled paper.

The capsule is designed be hung and has an optional light attachment, for those late night rumbles. Now, at one point or another, every camper has made some sort of make-shift toilet paper holder, but kudos to this crew for refining it, packaging it, and giving it a clever name, When Nature Calls.

Wooden LEGO bricks

Japanese designers at Mokurokku have elevated a standard issue toy to an art form in their wooden Lego bricks. So beautiful!

The handmade birch and maple pieces interlock perfectly with standard plastic LEGO bricks for an unexpected variation on play. Treated to retain their natural hues, the bricks also stand out as being constructed from a decidedly different material than the ages-old, primary-colored pieces.

Industrial Designer Tobias Tøstesen created and hand crafted this LEGO-based chandelier for the Milan Furniture Fair 2013. This new home addition has a classy edge to it, being put together with transparent LEGO pieces. It’s a floor to ceiling fixture that casts and reflects light similar to the natural Nordic sunlight (or lack of). Tobias used 8,000 clear LEGO bricks to create this Design Week masterpiece, and the outcome is absolutely astounding.
