Portable Modular Toilet Seat
About this project
The Portable Modular Toilet Seat is a fully-adjustable portable seating support system, making it practical for use in public restrooms, airplanes, porta-potties, the home, etc.
This product was originally developed by Yarin Silbershmit and Bracha Haviv as part of the TOM Summer Internship 2022, and was further developed by the TOM R&D Team to maximize both usability and scalability.
The challenge
Project Story:
The Portable Modular Toilet Seat is an outcome of further development by the TOM R&D team upon an initial design from Yarin Silbershmit and Bracha Haviv as part of the TOM Summer Internship 2022.
This solution aims to enable individuals of any ability to sit independently on the toilet comfortably and safely.
Who it helps
This product is designed for any individual who struggles yet desires to sit on a toilet or other seating arrangement independently.
How it works
Dear TOM community friends,
Thank you for your interest in our Portable Modular Toilet Seat!
This version uses a portable toilet seat only available in Israel, however, we are working on creating parametric files to enable you to use any foldable bathroom chair you wish and have access to!
