moma bathroom (part 1)

[keryx]

The bathroom stalls in the women's bathroom on the first floor of MoMA (and presumably the other bathrooms, but I haven't inspected all of them) have these elegant little plastic handles that serve as both handle and lock. They make all other "standard" bathroom door closures look appallingly clumsy and inefficient, after years of assuming that's just how bathroom doors work.

A lot of the ways we commonly think about and do things are like standard bathroom door closures. There are better ways, but people don't recognize them without seeing them and touching them and not having to turn two different levers.

Which is something to think about if you're after change, you know?
