WHERE’S THE LOO?

Author Kris Mikkelson was out for dinner in London when he went to the bathroom and noticed that the toilet door sign was very interesting. So he took a photo of it. The next time he was at a restaurant, he noticed another cool toilet door sign and took another photo, and then started a photo album on his phone, ‘Toilet door signs’. From there what started as a curious hobby for Kris became something of a preoccupation with signposts to the bathroom. Sometimes wildly artistic, sometimes slick design or typography, sometimes culturally specific, often extremely clever, cheeky or downright rude: hopefully whatever the style of the toilet door sign, the message is clearly enough conveyed to save an embarrassing entry into the wrong arena.
