Why does everything in the bathroom either hang from the wall or have to be built in? Undpartner of Austria proves with the Panay, a [completely self-contained one-piece bath](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upfall-shower), that we're not restricted to such traditional bathroom designs. The Panay is a perfect choice for a renovation that uses [wall and floor space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bergvattnet) in a more efficient fashion. All the pipes run underneath the Panay, so it can be used as a [standalone bath](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozy-international).

**Implications** - Products that encourage efficiency in any way, including space, money, and energy, are becoming increasingly popular among a wide array of audiences. Due to the credit crunch, consumers are more aware than ever of the importance of leading an efficient lifestyle in any way possible.
