Details
The bathtope is a compact bathroom offering flexible bathing styles with its removable fabric bath. In Japan, daily soaking in a bath is a cherished cultural tradition. However, heating and maintaining hot water for baths generates significant CO2 emissions. "bathtope" proposes a sustainable bathing practice that balances cultural continuity and environmental harmony by distinguishing between efficient shower days and special soaking days.
The Jury‘s Statement
A textile bathtub that flexibly integrates into the compact spatial concept characterizes »bathtope« in a distinctive way. By clearly separating everyday showers from special bathing days, a sustainable approach emerges that harmonizes local bathing culture with responsible resource management. The smart, portable solution impresses both aesthetically and functionally. Its relevance for contemporary bathroom design sets a powerful accent.
