With hoch³ designers Daniel Dittmann and Sven Fischer have proven that there's still lots of room to innovate in bath design. The hoch³ concept was created for Kaldewei, one of Europe's largest bath manufacturers. It's a modular system of interchangeable elements that you combine based on the need. I particularly liked the wall panel system with integrated fixtures, and the pop-out panels with lighting. It's also designed to be easily and inexpensively assembled. It's a concept for now, here's hoping Kaldewei builds it. Via mocoloco

Hansa2day is a handheld drowsing showerhead. A dual function showerhead that can both spray, like a traditional shower, and drowse like a waterfall. Switching between drowse and spray is uncomplicated via the showerhead's unique shift mechanism. Set horizontally level, the showerhead produces a fine rain of water from the underside of the disk. However, once the head is tipped forwards, Hansa2day adjusts to drowse, sending water gushing out of the disk from above like a waterfall. Mocoloco mentioned it that "octopus-design attached great importance to function and ergonomy by creating a special turning-head-system". [ via:mocoloco ]

Scoop is a cross between the traditional wall-mounted bathtub and a free-standing tub. And it looks like a scoop. Says designer Michael Schmidt, "The original design first began as a combination bathtub and basin, which led to the final bathtub design. The advantage of this design is that you can have the look of the freestanding tub but you can place the taps where you want.".[ via:mocoloco ]
