The Le Terme Bathroom Concept is a hi-tech shower that allows people to stay connected online even when showering. While some may believe this daily practice to be better done uninterrupted, others feel that multitasking is the key to life. Why not be able to take calls or listen to music and watch videos in a much more efficient and aesthetically-pleasing way.
Designed by Fei Chung Billy Ho, the Le Terme Bathroom Concept is comprised of a stainless steel structure with an antibacterial cypress wood base and OLED interactive glass panels. With an integrated smart media device, the shower allows people to sync their smartphone or tablet to it. It is currently a 2012 Reece Bathroom Innovations Awards entry.
