The Bathing Sphere

Posted in: Alexander Zhukovsky, BATHSPHERE

While the lines between the bathing space and the bedroom are getting blurry by the day, its great to see how designers are modifying their approach towards the task of daily ablutions. We have here the Bathsphere, which is a glass-bubble kinda suspended sphere. It allows you to create your own mood and unwinding space. You can simulate rain; change the temperature inside the ball, humidity, light, sounds and even smells. Pretty awesome!

Barrier-free Bathing

Posted in: Barrier Free Bathtub, Chen An

The collapsible side rungs of the Barrier Free Bathtub, makes it easier for the silver generation to use it. A conveniently placed sliding switch raises or lowers the tub walls. After a certain age or due to movement restrictions, many people have had to give up their long soaks, hopefully designs like this can bring back the pleasure of a warm bath in their lives.

Barrier-free Bathing is a 2012 iF Design Award: concept design entry.

Pond Recycling

Posted in: Design Team-IIDEA, Ponding, Tae-jin Kim, Washbasin

Ponding is a washbasin that allows you to recycle the basin water in a much easier manner. A strategically placed jug right below the basin is what does the trick. The concept of reusing greywater has been around for a while and its interesting to note the different solutions that the designers come up with.

Wash And Dry At Once

Posted in: Dry Hand's Faucet, Jiaqi Wang, Jiwei Zhang, Kun Xu, Mingcang He

The Dry Hand’s Faucet incorporates the hand dryer within the faucet system. Basically after washing your hands you simply need to swivel the faucet head to activate the hand dryer. Looks to be a good solution for those who prefer the hot air dryer to the paper towel!

Dry Hand’s Faucet is a 2013 iF Design award – concept design entry.

The most versatile shower ever!

Posted in: Shower

Two of my biggest pet peeves are being cold and wet after a hot shower and water dripping on the floor!! This ingenious device called the Air Shower solves both problems by instantly transforming from shower head to heat dryer after you’re finished rinsing off. Dry off your bod, stay warm, and keep water from collecting on the floor! What better tech company to tackle the solution than Dyson with their patented air taps? Do want!

One-hand Washing

Posted in: angel, by, Cui Chengtao, faucet, Lin Shuo, Liu Shaolu, Wang Shuai, Yang Shuai

The Angel Faucet is specifically meant for those folks who have lost an arm. Apparently stats show that folks with this kind of impairment find it difficult towash their hand properly. The sensor-activated tap is integrated with a scrubbing pad that allows you to scrub and clean the single hand effectively.

The pad is made with soft silicon, and can be removed for cleaning. The flow of water through the tap stops when the user moves their hand away from the faucet outlet to the scrubbing pad.

Angel is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner.

Bod Pods

Posted in: clean, shampoo, Shower

Gosh shower gels introduce an entirely new shower experience in the form of single-use dissolving tablets that completely eliminate the need for PET plastic bottles. It’s similar to the detergent tablets for your dishwasher only they’re for your bod! Each tablet has two uses; the first layer exfoliates skin before dissolving to the second layer of shower gel that cleanses and leaves skin feeling refreshed with nutrient-rich geyser water.

Beautiful 3D Basin

Posted in: faucet, sink, water fixture

This striking design brings an entirely new meaning to water basin, using a beautiful arrangement of ducts and channels like a 3D topographic map. While the spacing between channels may seem random, the wooden map actually represents a portion of the streets in the central part of London! So maybe you live in New York, or are just a big fan of Tokyo… no prob… other outlines of different cities can be applied for customization to the user’s taste!

Shower Power

Posted in: San Román, Shower

Showering is supposed to be a catharsis of the day and of our daily environmental exposure. The last thing we should be dirtying up is our conscience with wasteful habits like using up way too much life-giving water. The “Sshower” for Roca was conceived by designer Marco Antonio Esquiró San Román for that very reason. With built in sensors that can automatically detect when you are actually under the shower head, this shower will turn of the stream and replace it with steam until you are ready to rinse off. But wait, there is more! While you are being a good and clean Earthling, you can also be informed as to the day’s weather, stock prices, how much water you are using and even what song is up next for your foam party for one. Of course its Bluetooth and Wifi ready, but then again…what isn’t these days?
