Design and Gender: Dan Reid on designing for a post gender world and CO-WC

„The Berlin-based initiative CO-WC (which cleverly stands for ‘Come Out of the Water Closet’) is making it easier and fun to make the transition to gender-neutral bathrooms by creating signage that uses a simple lenticular printing technique called a lentigram (just like those cheesy holographic postcards) to switch from the traditional blue male to pink female depending on your perspective or viewing angle. Installed at the betahaus co-working space in Berlin, for example, these symbolic changes can signify a greater change in attitude towards gender inclusivity and also conversation about design and gender in the workplace.“ Dan Reid in 4SEE magazine
