A DROP in the Ocean

Australian bathroom design company Paco Jaanson have designed a quirky new product to help Australians save water in the bathroom.

November 21st, 2008

Innovative Australian company Paco Jaanson have designed another winner for the bathroom: the ‘DROP shower’, a quirky, water saving shower head for the design and environmentally conscious.

The ‘DROP shower’, by Italian designer Giulio Iacchetti, has the practical benefits of water saving with a splash of fun for the bathroom or poolside. Inspired by the shape of a water droplet, it manages to sidestep kitsch through its undeniable efficiency: using only 40 litres of water for a standard five-minute shower.

Unlike other showerheads that can easily corrode and rust, the ‘DROP shower’ is made from Silicone – an ecologically friendly material with a resistance to oxygen, and (if you’re a pool enthusiast) ozone and sunlight. It is non-stick to prevent the build up of lime scale, and is a non-toxic and guilt-free way to enjoy your shower time.

With a dash of irony and colour, the ‘DROP shower’ is an exciting new product in bathroom design from Paco Jaanson.

The difference between music and noise is partly how we feel when we hear it. Similarly, the way people respond to an indoor space is based on sensory qualities such as colour, texture, shapes, scents and sound.
