Somewhere near the future, do you think you’ll see DA in the beauty salon? Da is futuristic looking spa with a bubble shape, minimalist design, yet very stylish. DA is designed for single person and no seating area like regular spa. Users will have to stand to shower or even when having a steam bath. Hm…the idea of standing all the time, I don’t think I will enjoy this steam bath.
This unique bath is designed by Ron Arad for Teuco. Users can use it as a bath when the wide lip functions is at the lowest point, but it can be rotated to become a standing shower.The water is drained from the bath by rotating it back to the shower position. Two function in a design.
Some Text from Teuco :
Designer, artist and renowned architect, Ron Arad uses the malleability of duralight and Teuco know-how to present “Rotator”, an original space and a new enjoyable experience in which a continuous and unexpected flow of water becomes the protagonist. The slowly rotating basin transforms into a shower and the continuously flowing water becomes an essential component of the product’s beauty. The background for this creation is a floor with mirrored light and glossy white walls with small red shelves that exalt the materiality and the multi-functionality that are characteristic of duralight.

Going green also means saving water. Do you know that we use around 150 litres of water for a washing machine ? After that, the water will go down the drain just like that, when we actually can reuse it. “Washup” is a conceptual design integrating washing machine with toilette-flush. It suggests a sustainable water consumption by storing the wasted water in toilette-flush tank and reuse it with flushing. Moreover, “washup” brings a solution for the problem of location of washing machines in small bathrooms, overlapping washing machine usage space with toilette usage space. It is fixed on wall upwards toilette, so that loading of clothes would be easier for the user without bending or crouching. A special interface including three semi-sphere control units & two flushing buttons is designed for a practical usage of the product. “Washup” is a green product offering solutions for the problems of standard washing machines.

This water reuse system concept is to divide our daily water and reuse it, consisting of two reservoirs, we can direct the water to a chosen reservoir and use it later just by simple touch, for e.g. : to water the plants. Each time a different water direction is selected; a valve mechanism opens the selected pipe and closes the remaining two. When the reservoirs are full, all water is directed to the global sewer system. The reservoirs can be replaced by empty ones, but only two can be attached to the basin at a time.
Flow Washbowl is an ergonomically designed washbowl for the washing of feet. Flow Washbowl?s ergonomic design brings new ease to the washing of feet. The height and width of the foot-washing basin have been taken into consideration in the design, such that they correspond to the anthropometry of the user for this function. A built-in sensor regulates the water temperature, allowing the user to set it to a preferred temperature. With the built-in pipe system, the user does not have to constantly adjust separate taps to obtain the right water temperature. Flow Washbowl, thus, helps the user save water, and keeps the bathroom dry.
I-Save is a bathroom concept that save space as well as water in your bathroom. Bathroom is usually neglected space in the overall plan of residences, with that problem in mind, the designers are trying to create a bathroom concept that save space and water as well. I-SAVE combines the lavatory, the basin and the bath as a single unit in order to save space, while it’s still maximizing its use.
I-SAVE bathroom concept reuses the water from showers and hand washing for flushing the lavatory. Do you know that people typically use 5-10 litres of water per minute during showering ? An average shower of 5 minutes would produce 25-50 litres of waste water, whereas the lavatory only consumes 12 liters of water per flush. Thus, based on the above statistics, the eco friendly bathroom I-SAVE unit will help to save substantial amounts of water which could then be put to other uses.
Water is very important in today’s world, we do waste water more than we should and we do not aware of it. This year Bathroom Innovation Award in Australia finalist came up with a convention bath. But the smart thing about this bath is the design that fits the contour of our bodies while we are sitting in a tub taking a bath. The peak of the tub sits right under or knees where less water is needed, this mean your bathroom is environmentally friendly.
