Summary
This shower has been designed and developed for IKEA. The unique shower head directs the water towards the wall of the bathroom rather than the center and the build-in Venturi system aerates the water, which prevents it from splashing. In this way, the bathroom stays dry and the overall shower experience is improved. The main goal of this project was to develop a new way to prevent water from splashing all over the bathroom. User experience was the focus point for our solution. The build-in blow dryer tackles the discomfort of getting out of the shower while wet into a relatively cold bathroom. The design has been inspired by IKEA based on simplicity, use of materials and interaction design. Furthermore, the shower can be installed in any bathroom and can be used by anyone, regardless of their height.
