Keeping small flats in mind, a Brit designer has developed the world’s first fold-away bathroom.
The 9,000 pounds device, which features two showers and a lavatory, is the work of award-winning designer Paul Hernon, of Huddersfield.
The space-saving Vertebrae – named after the human spine – stacks a sink, water cistern and shower-head into one 8ft steel column.
“I did lots of research and it became obvious to me that bathroom space was decreasing, particularly in apartments,” the Telegraph quoted him, as saying.
“I have created an intriguing but functional and simplistic space-saving bathroom by stacking the contents of a bathroom on top of one another. It is designed to utilise vertical space instead of horizontal floor space. It is quick to assemble and easy to maintain – all you need is a wet room to put it in.
