Why Does John Travolta Use Wendy Gold’s Toilet Seats?

Transforming the definition of a toilet – a simple utility to an item of décor, Wendy Gold specializes in the art of designing toilet seats. The brain behind this unique art de toilette, Wendy gained recognition in 2001, after launching a line of high profile toilet seats in San Francisco. The exclusive style and design of the art de toilette seats lured many to earn Wendy several contracts worldwide that included hotels, restaurants, collectors and businesses. More so, Wendy’s seats were bought by celebrities, such as John Travolta, Jack Nicholson and Jude Law.

In 2003, Wendy came up with a new line of bathroom art, adding nine different custom-designed scales. These handcrafted scales with a unique touch could bestow fun and frivolity to almost any toilet. The fully customizable art de toilette seats allow anything ranging from a fine statement to photos and memorabilia. Wendy charges only half of the cost upon ordering and requests the customer for a mock-up of the design, upon approval she personally works with the client to make the theme come alive, matching the bathroom décor.
