The whole shower is like a glass go-go cage designed to make you feel like you're washing yourself for other peoples' enjoyment, but in a classy, design-centric sort of way. It's definitely smaller than a traditional shower/tub combo, but all that glass is going to be rough to clean. [Trendir via Dvice]

<![CDATA[Roca's Latest Concept Brings 3D Video Into The Shower]]> I love funky bathroom concept designs, so naturally I adore the Roca Waterdrop Shower Room. Granted, who wouldn't want to be surrounded by a 3D touchscreen while showering? Be it news or naughty shower flick, you'll truly soak it in.

The touchscreen is the main appeal of this shower, not just because it provides the 3D experience, but because it controls everything from water temperature and jet intensities to video and sound. Yes, 3D and jets. Perfect combination.

It's been a while since there was a concept I wanted to turn into reality this much, but to be honest, I wouldn't even know what movie I'd want to watch first in there. [Yanko Design]

<![CDATA[Brilliant Vado Shower Head Is a Refreshing Squid Attack]]> It may look like the business end of a squid, but I have a feeling the Sculpture showerhead from Vado would be bad ass in the bathroom.

Think about it—you can set those tentacles up to spray water in any direction. It's kind of like blending elements of traditional shower heads, rain shower heads and those full-body systems that everyone dreams about owning. [Vado via Trendir via DVICE]

<![CDATA[Solar Shower Heats Water In Two Hours, But You'll Need It Cold (Trust Me)]]> Is there a solar shower in this image somewhere? My eyes are inexplicably drawn to the right.

Seriously though, somewhere in this image is an outdoor shower that heats water up to 140 degrees in two hours using solar power. Of course, now all you can think about is a cold shower right? Well, the product page will bring you crashing back down with the imagery conjured up by the following line:

"you and your family can take several showers consecutively before the tank needs to reheat."

That is so wrong. [Herrington viaRed Ferret via DVICE]

<![CDATA[Muji Stealth Shower Radio Is Disguised as a Shampoo Bottle]]> Muji's shower radio is shaped like a shampoo bottle, but we're not sure why: Is it just to blend in with other shower accoutrements? Or does the Muji Shower Radio have a dark secret from which it needs to hide?

The shower radio provides an AM/FM tuner (the volume control is cleverly built into the "bottle's" "cap") and also has a little suction cup to stick onto the shower wall, which sounds convenient but would also totally blow its cover as a shampoo bottle. It costs $37, though seems available only in Japan. [Muji via Wired]

<![CDATA[Hansgrohe RainBrain Smart Shower Controller Gives You Water, Music and Lighting Control]]> This RainBrain smart shower controller from Hansgrohe seems like one of those things that you didn't think you needed, but once you try it you can never go back to what you had before.

This thing controls music streamed wirelessly via Bluetooth, lighting in your shower and even (who'd have imagined) what kind of water is raining down on you. It even has a Scottish Shower mode, which I had to look up to find out that it meant alternating hot and cold water spray. [Hansgrohe via Trendir via DVice]

<![CDATA[Modular Shower Lets You Arrange Your Bath Gadgets Like Building Blocks]]> This designer-friendly shower kit is for people who really like squares. The simple, elegant 5x5 modules can be arranged freely and serve several functions, including thermostat, speaker, volume and diverter controls, showerhead, lighting and shelving.

No word on whether each block can be removed from and reapplied to the wall for even more bath time fun. However, the large "ShowerHeaven" overhead component this thing comes with does rain water down on you like a luxurious waterfall. [core77]

<![CDATA[Hydroglass Allows You To Shower While Lying Down On a Fish Tank]]> Showering standing up? That's for savages. I want to lie down when I bathe—and I want it to be on a bed of colorful fish. I want a Hydroglass.

In addition to the fish tank base, Hydroco's Hydroglass unit can feature a 7-head rainbar, heated aquabed, warm water mattress and other accessories when fully decked out. It's going to start a revolution of laziness in the bathroom. That's right—sooner or later we will be able to poop lying down. What a day that will be. [Hydroco via Born Rich via DVICE]

<![CDATA[Cry About the Nightmare Economy Under Kohler's Flipside Showerhead]]> Marketing a $130 handshower as a recession-friendly bathroom upgrade is pretty ballsy, but, if there's anywhere I'd weep about losing my retirement, it'd be under the Flipside's "layer of dense, soft, enveloping downpour of relaxation."

The Flipside has four separate modes, which you pick from by simply flipping the shower head like a coin, instead of trying to grab that annoying ring most adjustable showerheads use:

•Koverage – for a traditional, everyday shower with maximum water coverage that is perfect for
the morning shower routine
• Kotton – streams a layer of dense, soft, enveloping downpour of relaxation that caresses your
skin
• Komotion – a drenching spray that delivers an exhilarating, circular pattern to refresh the senses
after a tightly-wound day
• Kurrent – provides a focused and invigorating massage spray to target tired or aching muscles

And obviously you can re-purpose the modes for whatever else you can think of. My mom said the first thing she always did when she moved in somewhere new was replace the crappy showerhead, so maybe this isn't the worst time ever to sell this thing, at least to people taking advantage of the real estate crash to buy new digs.

Update: Apparently, it's going to have a list price of $107, meaning you can find it for even cheaper. [Kohler]

<![CDATA[Dornbracht Supernova Bathroom is An Island...A Fantasy Island]]> In my fantasy, Calgon takes me away to the Dornbracht "Supernova" bathroom. A luxury installation where all the fixtures are located in the center of the room—an island of pure design bliss.

I could go on about the cascading water, high gloss surfaces and the little sink designed specifically for your feet—but I'll let the images do most of the talking. [Dornbracht via Trendir via DVICE]

<![CDATA[LED Shower Doors Lead to Busted Moves, Butts]]> The Cromobox LED shower door by Antonio Lupi is designed to change colors across a spectrum in order to promote relaxation. But I sense disaster here.

Seriously—throw in an LED showerhead and a shower radio and you have yourself a dance club in your bathroom. And that, my friends can only lead to cleanliness with concussions and/or a broken coccyx. [Antonio Lupi via Trendir]

<![CDATA[Donkey Kong Junior Watches You Bathe]]> Colombian artists Andres Barragan and Miss Vynilos have painstakingly tiled the interior of a shower to depict scenes from Donkey Kong Junior.

Either these guys are big fans of the game, or they get a cheap thrill out of bathing with pixelated baby monkeys staring at their naked bodies. It's a common fetish—I'll bet there is a magazine for it somewhere. [Flickr via Technabob via Kotaku]

<![CDATA[Sylvania Ecolight Water-Powered LED and Temperature Gauge For Your Showerhead]]> Need a little extra light in the shower? Worried that the power will go out leaving you wet, cold and vulnerable to psycho attack? Sylvania's Ecolight may be just what you are looking for.

The Ecolight attaches to just about any standard showerhead and it features a LED light that is powered by the running water—so you never need to deal with batteries. It also features an LED temperature ring that turns blue when the temperature is under 78 degrees Fahrenheit and red when it is above 105.8 degrees. So, your protection here is three-fold: psycho attack, shrinkage and burns. Not bad for $40. [Sylvania via Luxury Housing Trends via OhGizmo]

<![CDATA[ECO Showerdrop Guilts You Into Taking Shorter Showers]]> In another attempt to shrink our global footprint, the ECO Showerdrop encourages you to quit your bad habit of taking girly showers (a.k.a. unnecessarily long showers). Unlike the Eco_Drop Shower, which made you physically uncomfortable until you removed yourself from the shower, the ECO Showerdrop will beep, time you, and measure your water usage—basically guilt you—until you finally switch off that water. However, this device only begins the guilting process after you've hit the time limit you've set for yourself, which could make the saving water aspect to this gadget pointless if you set the limit to, let's say, forever.

<![CDATA[Cue Shower-Timer Prompts Women To Health-Check For Breast Cancer]]> As well as letting you keep an environmentally-friendly eye on your time in the shower, Cue from Avie Products is specifically designed to remind women to check their breasts each month. Like those cheapo shower radio designs, it suckers on to the wall of your shower cubicle and then each month, seven days after your period, it'll ping you. It can also cope with reminders for up to four women. So it's pretty basic, but also sounds pretty darn useful in terms of reminding you to check your health: currently it's available for just $25 since it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month—regular pricing is $30. Update: we contacted Avie, and they've confirmed that a less "flowery" version is in the works, to remind men to check for testicular lumps. [Chip Chick via Coolest Gadgets]

<![CDATA[Nose Gel Dispenser Is Fun for the Whole Family Or Maybe Just Me]]> Since I already have the breast-shaped gel dispenser installed in my shower, I think I may get this 9-inch-high Nose Shower Gel to put it in my kitchen and dispense lime Jello Mello. Too bad it only exudes gel out of the right nostril, though, because it would make an excellent ketchup and mustard dispenser for just $17.95. [Potpourri via Dark Roasted Blend]

<![CDATA[AquaRain Bath Fountain Puts on a Show Using Your Bathwater]]> I've never found bath time boring enough to need a water fountain and a light show, but in case you hate not being reminded of the Bellagio every time you step into the tub, the AquaRain is here to allay your washroom ADD. The AquaRain floats in your bathtub and pumps bathwater through its jets to create a fountain effect. Four LED lights—red, purple, blue and white—can be remixed to turn your shower into a rave. On sale at Japan Trend Shop for $49, hilarious Engrish included. [Japan Trend Shop via Gizmo Diva]

<![CDATA[Brando's Cyber Tap Radios Suck (Onto Your Shower Cubicle)]]> Brando's Cyber Tap bath-time radio is not massively high-tech, sure, but its cuteness is undeniable. Stick its 4.7-inch sucker onto tiles or glass, adjust FM/AM frequency and twirl the volume tap to boogie away to showertime music. Is the red one more suited to Hot Gossip while the blue one's best for Coldplay? Who knows, but after a bad joke like that you'll be pleased to know the water-resistant, battery-powered Cyber Tap costs $16. [Brando]

<![CDATA[Gadget Turns Your Water Bottle Into a Portable Shower]]> When you have been rouging it where showers are hard to come by, you will be happy to to have a Universal Shower Diffuser close at hand. Basically,the device attaches to the top of a standard PET water bottle and restricts the flow of water so that it can be dispensed like a shower head when squeezed. Just make sure you don't use that bottle you took a leak in during the car ride—unless you are into that sort of thing. Available for around $50. [Made in Design via Swissmiss via Likecool]
