Toilet 2.0

Toilet 2.0

Toilet 2.0 is ready for the future, it’s made from corian which makes it thinner, lighter and stronger. The shape is deigned to prevent splashes. It cleans with 8 different points with pressurized jets. This regular cleaning cycle makes it possible to avoid using cleaners that contaminate water systems. There’s also a built-in air freshener. It uses grey water to clean the pipe system behind the walls and clean water for flushing.

Chinese Herbal Shower

Chinese Herbal Shower

I think the Medical Shower is a brilliant concept. Basically what it does, is it gives you a refreshing herbal bath, thanks to the use of Chinese Herbs in a teabag-esque sachet. Not all of us have the luxury of taking a soak in essential oils and aromatherapies. I have 6 bathrooms in my house but none of it with a bathtub! So this shower is the next best thing I can have for some self-pampering! Love the clever showerhead design too! Kinda like a filter to hold in the herbs.

Coal Protection for Teeth

Coal Protection for Teeth

It’s quite an indirect relation if you ask me, but charcoal can be good for your teeth. You see, charcoal is a good absorbent of bacteria and virus and thus we use coal (carbon) filters for sanitization. Applying the same theory here, Charcoal Sanitizer is a set of ceramic holders that are lined with charcoal for filtration. The stand looks elegant and the method is quite organic, so it’s a clear thumbs-up from me!

The Real Man's Shaving Kit

The Real Man’s Shaving Kit

Though it’s something I’ve only been able to appreciate in the last year or so, I believe the right shaving kit is a man’s best friend, & can also speak volumes about someone’s personality. Hail Perret is a sexy & stylish kit by designer Niclas Andersson that celebrates the art of the traditional straight razor shave in a minimal yet natural looking roll-up pack stripped down to the bare necessities: razor, lather, bowl, bristle brush, aftershave, & face towel. Perfect for the grooming craftsman or renaissance man.

Clean Babies

Clean Babies

The Gloob project is a children’s bathtub that fits in perfectly with today’s bathrooms and can be used in a variety of ways. Use it as a traditional tub and changing table. Stand it on its pedestal or go low and sit it on the floor. I love the design but the stand does look like it could wobble. BTW, clean babies are the best kind. Just sayin’.

Customize Your Flush!

Customize Your Flush!

Ladies & gents, let’s be totally candid for a sec & talk about… you guessed it, potty-time! Did you know that the standard toilet uses 15x more drinking water per day than a human does? Sure, low-flush toilets & dry urinals help reduce consumption, but what else can be done to conserve water? Considering that different types of waste require different amounts of water, designer Jose Genovés developed Natura, a toilet that adapts to male urination, female urination, & defecation, reducing water consumption by up to 60%!

The Double Bath

The Double Bath

Nessie is a take on the classic cast iron baths from yesteryears. It features two shells made from recycled aluminum that are wielded together. The beauty about this design is that you can create color contrasts for the two tubs. The current blue and white combo is very Greek and relaxing feel to it.

Hair Trapping

Hair Trapping

My mother has this really annoying habit of washing her hair in the kitchen sink. She says it’s a quick-fix when you’re running out of time… I call it being lazy. The downside is that hair usually clogs up the sink and cleaning the sink stopper is plain yuk! I guess it’s for this reason that I love the Crown Pop-up sink stopper idea; the exposed top end stays clean while the root-ish tail end catches the hair and goop. I so need this!

Intimate Wash with Wanda

Intimate Wash with Wanda

Wanda is not a person but a bathtub designed by Daniel Debiasi and Federico Sandri for Antoniolupi. It’s been designed to make sure couples can get cozy and comfy enough when they take their bonding session into the bathroom. The tub features a border that rises up to create a backrest that protects and supports without occlusion. Shiny curved surfaces and sleek finishing just adds to the sensual outlook of the design.

Ending The Urinal Debate

Ending The Urinal Debate

Let’s just end the debate on the urinal and sink combo right now! I think this time the men folk will be happy about the angle, length and the gradient of the Tandem Urinal – Sink. No back-splash, easy hand washing and bowl cleaning is what we look forward to. Say yo! to water well used.

Rotation Water Therapy

Rotation Water Therapy

The first thing that comes to my mind when I see the Disambigua – Unambiguous, is roast meat! The reason behind it is simple, the way you need to keep rotating the meat on a skewer for uniform cooking, likewise rotate this concept for uniform cleansing. One turn it’s a bathtub, another turn and it’s a washbasin. Now this is what I call a complete wash!

The Lunar Effect on Faucets

The Lunar Effect on Faucets

I am totally captivated by the Luna Faucet! It is such a super sexy curve that has the audacity to compete with the crescent edge of the moon! And guess what, it succeeds in its efforts and is quite a design inspiration. Available in polished chrome and brushed Steelnox satin nickel finishes, I’ll be picking up the faucet and shower combo when I remodel my bathroom.
