why not a designer tabo?

Hi everyone!

I stumbled in this grassroots web movement for our favorite mainstay item in every Filipino CR (or bathroom, toilet, john, loo-- depending on which part of the world you are in). Our quintessential tabo.

Back in our old house where I grew up, a tabo was a way of life. The tabo and "timba" (pail or bucket) went hand in hand to carry water around the house from a single water source (the "poso" or water pump).

Fast forward to the 21st century-- so I thought, why not a designer tabo in the league of Philippe Starck, Umbra, Rashid, etc. Has anyone seen a world-class tabo?
Maybe there are plastic maker tycoons around who'd like to embark on the project?
