Oh, I've seen some great ideas / designs, but the only one that comes to mind are the rather clever men's urinals.

Don't know why that the first thing that comes to mind....


( There are some rather risqué designs published to the web, please don't post those pictures. )

"The cauldron designed by Thomas Heatherwick was described as "one of the best-kept secrets of the opening ceremony"; until this point, neither its design, nor its location, nor the identity of the persons lighting it had been revealed."
