Karim Rashid is nothing but a legend in the design continuum and for good reason. Seldom does his creations stick to the norm and usually are path-taking. A legend in the contemporary design scene, Rashid is always two steps ahead. His new AX20 bathtub also stays true to his sensibility and is different since it opts for round organic shapes than linearity.  The AX20 bathtub has been made of marble and is a synthesis of geometry and craftsmanship.
Says Rashid:
“I wanted a softness that would semantically speak to the act of cleaning oneself in a natural organic context.”

Tired of the traditional and old-looking faucets? Well here is a modernized version for you. They are called the 1 Liter Limited, elegant test-tube looking faucets invented on top of a tap.

The glass tube holds exactly one liter of water, sufficient for a quick hand wash. This should be a great way to save on water as well, a resource that has had its share of being wasted due to lack of attention on the end of consumers.

Once the stored one-liter is used up, you have to turn-off the tap till the next one liter fills up the tube.

The ecological design features the warm water reserve near to the water outlet to reduce the lag during the water consumption and save water. Though it’s still a concept, this extraterrestrial shower will have many takers if it makes a leap from concept to real, but we would like it with a joint pedestal and mood lights and touchscreen controls will make it even more magical.

Toilet seats come in different designs and makes but the Carbon Fiber Toilet Seat does seem to be a bit odd. Sure it is made from 100% carbon fiber but at $279, you may as well look for something else that can provide support when it is “time to go”.

The toilet seat does seem to be appealing but for that price, you may as well get a standard one unless you don’t mind shelling out that amount of dough the next time you poop.
