# Iota, il wc del futuro compatto e richiudibile

Lo trovo un concept interessante, e pare sia in fase di brevetto. Chissà se un giorno verrà prodotto sul serio!

![il wc del futuro: Iota, il water richiudibile](https://besidebathrooms.com/wp-content/uploads/folding-toilet-11.jpg) Che poi... questa immagine mostra la differenza tra **Iota** e un wc con cassetta esterna, quindi bisognerebbe capire qual è la differenza con un wc a filo parete visto che oggi è la tipologia più diffusa. 

## The folding toilet "Iota": space- and water saving

 The "folding toilet" is the final year project by two Huddersfield University students,  The video above shows installation and functionality of Iota, while the pictures show the toilet from different sides and the difference between a traditional toilet and this new concept. When closed, this toilet reduces its size and becomes a great solution for small bathrooms. And this is why I find it so interesting! The space is becoming one of the biggest problems when designing home interiors, so a toilet like this could be useful in some cases. From the other hand, I am not able to understand if its size could be not so ergonomic and comfortable. ![il wc del futuro: Iota, il water richiudibile](https://besidebathrooms.com/wp-content/uploads/folding-toilet-12.jpg) I am a little bit sceptical about the cleaning system, but as it is a rimless toilet it should be easy to clean. Watching the video I can see a flushing system with two different water jets to keep the bowl clean. The rotation of the bowl is smooth and accurate thanks to an interior frame holding it in place. I find this project very interesting and I really hope one day someone will start with the industrial production. Great job guys! **
