Restaurant Hires Designers To Redecorate Their Bathroom Without Changing Its Old Tiles, So They Did This

Published 6 years ago

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.

They were asked by a restaurant called Galeria Urbana to redecorate their old bathroom without changing its tiles. So, the artists photographed a neighborhood in Kaunas they grew up in and printed some stickers. The result- an unusual interactive experience like you 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 has now decided to sell tiles just like these. If you’re interested, contact them on social media.

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