Russian Designer Alexander Zhukovsky offers up a conceptual design for what could be the future of the bathroom – the Bathsphere.
Inspired by the “Bathysphere“, (a unique spherical deep-sea submersible used to conduct a series of dives off the coast of Bermuda from 1930 to 1934) Mr. Zhukovsky’s idea seeks redefine the concept of the bathroom and take it beyond a mundane space within which we wash our faces, brush our teeth or take a shower.
His bathsphere, though still a concept, features a transparent glass ball hanging from what is presumably a steel cable, intended to evoke a sense of weightlessness. It will allow the user create their own mood, offering the option to simulate rain, modify temperature, humidity, light, sound and even smells within the sphere.
