Desert Rose - futuristic cleaning chamber

WHAT

Desert Rose cleaning chamber is a device for dry and wet body cleaning.

 

HOW

The suggestion is to make body cleaning in two steps. The first step is to use special cleaning powder, which consists of kaolin and dried herbs. It has a dry shampoo effect. Step two is to use a little amount of water during a couple of minutes to move off particulates of remaining powder.

 

Process:

The first step. A person comes inside the chamber and presses the button on the controller. After it the supply of powder starts. It is a necessary little amount. The powder is being supplied during a few seconds. A person starts to scrub his/her body and head. The powder comes from the tube that is situated on the top of the chamber. When scrubbing is finished, a person switches on a vacuum cleaner. It is located on the bottom of the chamber, where usually shower drain is. Vacuum cleaner absorbs used powder and delivers it to a special container for recycling.

 

Step two. A person switches on shower heads. Each of the shower heads consists of 5 small flexible tubes. It helps to make water supply in any direction for more effective body cleaning and to use smaller amount of water. After shower water collects in a container for filtration and reuse.

 

Materials. Acrylic. The device can be recycled.

 

Design. Why Desert Rose? The powder is a metaphor of sand. There is a lack of water in the desert and the device uses a small amount of it. The shapes of two desert roses – a stone and a flower – were used for the design of the device. The chamber is like a trunk of a flower, shower heads are like flowers, the bench is like a part of a stone.

 

WHY

As is known, the human body consists of 60% water. There is a lack of drinking water on our planet. The proposal is to preserve water for the most vital activity – for drinking. How can it be realized? We can use much less water for body cleaning.
