"Biophilic design elements provide people with a connection to the living, organic elements of nature through sight, touch and sound," he said. These elements can
range from the pleasant flow of a waterfall to the soothing feeling of a rain shower.
On the flip side, technology is staking its claim in the shower. Although it may
seem counterintuitive to bring technology into the shower when people are there to
escape its very grasp, high-tech components contribute to the personalized experience sought by many consumers.
"We as a society are in a constant state of connectivity, which means technology
is completely transforming the bathing experience," said Rotelli, whether it's music
that streams straight into the shower or a digital showering system that allows a
custom shower at the push of a button.
Just as important as the bells and whistles is smart, accessible shower design.
Consumers are incorporating wider openings, curbless entries, stylish grab bars,
hand showers and shower benches into their shower systems as they look to
future needs.
"Inclusive shower spaces are beautiful (not institutional), comfortable, stress-free
and inspiring," according to Toto representatives. "Great design, like great performance, is for everyone." n

short, pulsating intervals, the result is a more voluminous shower experience without
the use of additional water. Circle No. 206 or visit kbbonline.com/freeinfo
