Douchaise, designed by Daniel Harper, is a shower and a chair in one. What? The chair actually unfolds and becomes a fully functional shower with air supported walls. The base of the chair contains a blower, water heater, pump and filter which recycles water to reduce usage. The chair transforms in just 2 minutes and has another room for you to dry off in after your shower. Then once you're all clean kick-back and relax in your chair! (GUSH Magazine)
