𝗙𝗟𝗨𝗦𝗛 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗢𝗩𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: High-Tech ‘Throne’ Off-Grid Restroom Debuts at Santa Monica Metro Station

In a world where clean and accessible bathrooms remain a luxury for many, Throne Labs is on a mission to change that reality. The company is redefining the traditional public restroom with an innovative approach designed to expand access to clean, welcoming spaces for all. With a focus on both equity and convenience, Throne Labs is committed to providing restrooms that anyone, regardless of background or need, can use with confidence and comfort. A new Throne restroom was installed today, Friday, February 21, 2025, at the Santa Monica Downtown Metro Station. This marks a significant step forward in making clean, secure, and sustainable public bathroom access more widely available. Throne’s sleek, ADA-compliant restrooms come equipped with modern features like NFC-enabled entry cards, ensuring an inclusive and secure experience. To access the restrooms, users simply scan a QR code, which opens the doors, ensuring a streamlined and tech-savvy approach to public bathroom access. Designed to serve a wide range of people—whether parents with children, commuters, tourists, or those with medical needs—Throne’s solution is built to cater to everyone. The company’s bathrooms also offer free menstrual products, addressing the need for menstrual equity, and include baby stations for added convenience. Throne Labs takes sustainability seriously. These innovative restrooms are entirely off-grid, with no plumbing into the city sewer system. They run on solar power, offering an eco-friendly solution that is not only sustainable but also independent of municipal infrastructure. To maintain cleanliness and functionality, a maintenance vehicle visits regularly to drain the wastewater, refill the water supply, and restock essential products, including toiletries and menstrual items. Throne Labs is not just about providing restrooms; it’s about creating spaces where dignity, privacy, and cleanliness are guaranteed. With the installation at Santa Monica’s Downtown Metro Station, Throne continues to set new standards for what it means to expand public bathroom access in urban environments. This innovative model is helping bridge a significant gap in public facilities, ensuring that no one is left without a safe place to go.
