   Ooh considering that the seats on Top Gear (Uk TV Car show) are Arads and they cost £10k each, and are only old car seats bolted onto some scaffolding, this shower could cost you your first born child.

   I once spent a few days mooching about his studio in Chalk Farm.

   Nice stuff but amazingly expensive for what it is.

   @Polx
   So is this art or a product?

   So, Teuco, which 180 degrees of rotation turn it from shower to bath? Long time since I did maths, but looks like 90 would be sufficient.

   @Kingsley: Click the link to see the pics. In tub mode, the bowl is at bottom; in shower mode, it's at top. Looks about pi radians to me. But I think that you were thinking as I did before the jump: it's a shower in upright position, and it's a tub when lowered to the floor. There's your 90 deg.

   In anycase, any middle class apartment has a tub-shower combo that doesn't require reconfiguration between modes. Zero energy use to go from tub to shower or vv. Doesn't that make them superior in design?

   Hmm... I really don't buy into either school of supposed thought.

   If a thing works it tends not to need redesigning like say ... the bath or indeed the shower.

   It occupies significvantly more space, works less well and costs about a thousand times more.

   It fails as design by the definitions of design whewn I was aty art school, and it certainly is not "Art".

   Art is only accepted from design when it catches on in a big way , then all the pricks line up to heap plauditys on shite like Starks bloody useless lemon squeezer.

   The thing about design is that it has bwecome such a field for popstars that there is effectively no design anymore.

   You get the same old thing, but with a "Jazzy" colour or "Crazy" feature added on ...WHICH DOES NOTHING.

   This is not design, this is "STYLING".

   And that is just rubbish.

   So basically the Arad roto-bath-shower is a pointless exercise in wankery to see who has more money than sense.

   pardon my typos.

   see, it looksd "The Mutts" but is in fact totally useless.

   When I was about 19 I was reallt enamored of it.

   Then I used one.

   If you like having lemion EVERYWHERE, carry on.

   Buy this and you're $100 out of pocket to find that supposed "design" is mostly just a lot of W*NK.

   Buy the shower and you pretty much are assured that you live in manhattan.
