An anti-splashback urinal, comprising a bowl for receiving a user's urine, the bowl having a surface with a curvilinear shape designed to reduce the angle of impact between the urine and the surface and to carry the urine down and away from a user; an aperture, through which the user deposits the urine into the bowl, the aperture being off-center with respect to the bowl; and a drain that is offset aligned from the aperture. The urinal may also include a custom outer cover having a shape and color/pattern to complement the room. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the urinal is equipped with a low flow flush system having an armature that dispenses water at a low flow rate. The armature preferably comprises a plumbing tubing bent into a shape complementary to said urinal, and equipped with misting nozzles. In a particular embodiment, the urinal further comprises an air filter, which optionally may be a water stripper, connected to an air exhaust system, wherein air from the urinal enters the air exhaust system through the air filter, and wherein the air exhaust system is connected to a fan.
