製品概要

bathtopeは、必要に応じて取り外せる布製の浴槽“fabricbath”を備えることで、柔軟な入浴スタイルを提供するコンパクトなバスルームです。日本では毎日お風呂に浸かる習慣が大切にされており、これは日本の文化の一部でもあります。しかし、湯を多く使用する湯溜め行為は湯沸かしや保温の過程で多くのCO2を排出します。そこで私たちは、効率的なシャワーの日と特別な体験としての湯に浸かる日を明確に分けることで、文化を継承しながら環境と調和する新しい入浴習慣を提案します。


その他

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.


Statement of the jury

German Design Award 2025

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.
