Whilst browsing the Fast Company's website for inspiration and new bathroom products on the market, we came across this hidden gem. Rapsel, an Italian furniture design company, have presented a collection of toilet fixtures that magically disappear. "Rapsel's One line includes a sink, shower, and toilet disguised behind sleek wooden slats. Step into the bathroom, and the slats resemble shelves and benches in a swanky little sauna. It's only when you lift them up that their true function is revealed. "The new 'invisible' bathroom, designed by Matteo Thun for Rapsel, impresses with few lines and innovative forms," the press release effuses. "[They] become geometric modules that function as sculptural shelves."As odd as this seems (and looks!) it is quite a unique way of transforming a bathroom space into a 'designed' space.
The wooden slats are contemporary and the multitude of parallel lines elongate the room quite dramatically.The only way in which a bathroom like this might not work is if you have guests who require use of your hidden facilities.
