| Roundabath Bathroom: All-In-One Space-Saving Design Posted: 13 Apr 2014 08:00 AM PDT Modular and all-in-one bathroom systems are becoming increasingly popular, concentrating most of the required fixtures into a small space so the room feels larger. This concept, the Roundabath by Allegory, is a freestanding unit on a triangular concrete base combining a sink, mirror and shower with organizers for various small items. By placing the sink and mirror on the other side of the shower partition, the design makes it possible to fit a lot of function into a tiny footprint. Even a bathroom that’s barely larger than the size of an average shower stall would have plenty of places for towels and toiletries. Rounded bowls of various sizes and shapes are staggered in height around the basin for easy access to the necessities when you’re getting ready. Contrasting geometric and rounded shapes gives the minimalist setup an almost sculptural appearance. Other all-in-one bathrooms save space in similarly innovative ways, like hiding fold-out fixtures in a wall or placing them all on a central axis so you can simply ‘swing’ out the ones you need.

| Genius Umbrella Redesign Makes Perfect Sense, Looks Great Posted: 12 Apr 2014 06:00 PM PDT The umbrella is an often-ignored accessory. We casually drape it over our wrists, throw it in a corner, forget it at the office. But designer Alessandro Busana of Hole Design Studio took the traditional umbrella design and made one simple change that completed what he considered a previously-incomplete design. CUP is an umbrella that sports a colorful rubber cup on its top. The cup serves to catch the drips from an umbrella when it is stored upside-down after a walk through the rain. It protects your floors from puddles of water, neatly gathering the rain instead so you can dump it outside at your leisure. The addition works perfectly with the original function of the umbrella, adding to its usability while not hindering the form in any way. In the words of the designer, the result of his intervention is a “combination between a common object and an unexpected foreign element that carries out an elementary function evoking curiosity and surprise.” Keep Going - Check Out These Great Related Dornob Articles: |
