A beautiful collaboration
The story of Pollee & Simple P
HUMAN SOLUTIONSFOR PUBLIC SPACES
Under the headline “PeeBetter”, culture design agency UiWE and designer Sara Nanna have collaborated with the City of Copenhagen and Roskilde Festival to address the challenge of peeing in public spaces. The cross-sector collaboration has resulted in the development of two remarkable solutions for pee-needs at festivals, street parties, and other big public events – for both men and women.
Simple P for men
Pollee for women
The collaboration between the different actors has resulted in two clear design solutions that have been tested with great success: “Simple P” – a new street urinal for men, and “Pollee” – a new open-air female urinal. The designs offer incomparable hygiene and great alternatives to the claustrophobia-inducing plastic containers or hidden street corners that are usually the options.
I just love goingto festivals!
But I hate this...
..And this...and this!

We were so excited about solving this tremendous problem for the girls - and we knew it would be hard. The first thing we did was talk to a lot of girls - and then started experimenting. Working with experienced Roskilde people helps!

We held a workshop about the pee problems with UiWE. That became the start of a collaboration with UiWE and the designers Sara Nanna & Nuala Collins. They did a lot of research and we chipped in with our experiences too.
It’s great!

At the festival, we could test the prototypes and get feedback. We like having this open dialogue with our guests, and we appreciate working with UiWE + partners because they are good at involving our users.
At the festival, we put a great effort into getting people to give feedback. We talked to a lot of people about pee, and we had an SMS service going as well as an online platform. It was all about learning more about what works for the users.

We were happy that the City of Copenhagen wanted to go with new ways to handle public peeing. Working closely with the skilled people at the Centre for Cleaning helped us a lot. We got a lot of insights into how to design for the tough use you find in an urban context.

The new Pollee is optimized for the urban context and takes the best feedback from the Roskilde prototype into consideration. It was great seeing girls using the new solutions without much hesitation.

At Distortion, we presented both a new version of Pollee with new walls + Simple P - a urinal that goes directly into the sewer. Our people and UiWE’s designers worked closely together with the logistics and the set up of it.
It’s the future!

The media saidsome nice things!
Throughout the project, the relationship between the designers, Roskilde Festival, and the City of Copenhagen has been characterized by trust and openness. This has enabled us to focus solely on problem solving and has made the innovation process much more efficient and value-generating than a more formalized client relation.
Designing in a close collaboration with public actors is a great outset for creating solutions that really work. We plan to continue the collaboration and to develop solutions fit for the need to pee in public space at big events.
Festivals!
Sports events!
Street parties!
Parades!
Concerts!
Anniversaries!
To be continued..!
