Reconfigurable Bathing Basins

The Modular Shower Unit Seamlessly Goes from Sink to Shower

— September 22, 2011 — Art & Design
If you find your bathroom difficult to navigate, then you are going to want to check out the Modular Shower Unit. The Modular Shower Unit is a multifunctional appliance designed to seamlessly go from sink to shower.

The Modular Shower Unit was designed by Hyun-Jung Lee and Su-Yong Son of Daelim B&Co. The shower features a variety of attachments that can be used to customize a user's experience. The shower has two main modes: sink and shower. When the sink is added, the shower cannot be used. However, should you desire a shower after washing your hands, all you need to do is remove the sink and slot on the needed shower pieces.

Of course removing a sink and adding a shower would be no simple task, but I still like where Lee and Son are going with this design. People continue to stream into big cities to live in cramped apartments. Why not design appliances such as the Modular Shower Unit that take advantage of these smaller spaces?
