On a recent trip to an Ikea in Shanghai, we discovered this toilet. It's in one of the model apartments that Ikea constructs so that city residents can envisage exactly how well Ikea furniture might fit into one of the city's notoriously small apartments.
What stirred my interest, however, were the toilets in the model bathrooms. The seats had been removed and a perspex cover placed over the toilets (see above). One can only deduce that at some point in the early days of the store, someone (or possibly unknown someones) must have left a "gift" or two in one of these. Perhaps they had expected the toilets to be flushable. One can only imagine that the seats were also removed so as to neuter any lingering desire for visitors to leave a deposit.
