Aandeboom's "P-Tree" Takes Piss Out of Festivalgoers (in a manner of speaking)

By Ray Hu - July 6, 2011

Based on the popularity of the "P-TREE" at Denmark's Roskilde Festival, Dutch design studio Aandeboom is deeming their pilot program (Petri dish?) a success. The company "produced 50 P-TREES in the typical Roskilde Orange color, placed in 2 different spots near the main stage," to the delight (and utility) of "more than 100,000 visitors." The P-TREE is a temporary tree-friendly urinal that can be fixed on every tree using straps and lashings. The P-tree gives a feeling of freedom during peeing. It is the same as peeing into the wild. The hoses from the urinal can be combined and connected on a waste pipe with container. The P-tree is very accessible for festivals, public gardens, events, etc. P-tree and Lashings are available in different RAL-colors.

The summer music festival setting is, of course, the most appropriate place for the "P-TREE"—its natural habitat, one might say. And lest we miss the forest for the trees (or the urinal for the pee): "By using the P-TREE the festivals problem with public peeing was significant reduced."

Teaser video and behind-the-scenes photos (or something like that) after the jump:

Hopefully, next season will see the release of a more discreet woodgrain colorway.

How is this better than those portable urinal troughs? How is it not "public" peeing. I mean if it was a field or something yes guys would just be pissing anywhere. But in the woods? Everyone would simply step off the path and do as they are in the vid.

Also, lolz @ the guy with the pants down.
