# Reconfigurable Bathing Basins The Modular Shower Unit Seamlessly Goes from Sink to Shower By Michael Hines | Published 2011-09-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-shower-unit References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/09/21/this-is-the-way-we-shower/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luneup). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozy-international). Why not design appliances such as the Modular Shower Unit that take advantage of these smaller spaces? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Modular Bathroom Fixtures:** Designing versatile bathroom fixtures that can easily transition between functions presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in small space living. - **Customizable Shower Experiences:** Creating shower units with modular attachments for personalized experiences opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the bathing industry. - **Space-saving Appliance Design:** Developing compact and multipurpose appliances specifically tailored for smaller living spaces offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in the home goods sector. ### Where This Applies - **Home Goods:** The home goods industry can explore new avenues for creating compact and adaptable appliances that address the needs of urban dwellers. - **Bathroom Fixtures:** The bathroom fixtures industry can embrace the concept of modular design to develop products that seamlessly transition between different functions in limited spaces. - **Bathing Products:** The bathing products industry can innovate by offering customizable shower experiences through modular attachments and fixtures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Utility-Focused Bathroom Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/showdown-system.md) - [Enhanced Stylish Faucet Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omnibath.md) - [Prefabricated Modular Bathrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porcelanosa-group.md) - [Modern Modular Shower Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-spot.md) - [Modular Bathroom Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefabricated-pods.md) - [Closed-Loop Bathing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upfall-shower.md) - [Demure Hand Shower Faucets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bell-jar-shower-head.md) - [Portable Shower Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoomiily.md) - [Removable Bathtub Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathtrope.md)
