A breath of fresh air from Roca
Published:  09 October, 2009

Roca has announced the name of the winning project of the 3rd edition of the International Contest Jump the Gap, chosen from 382 project presentations and coinciding with the opening of the 100% Design Exhibition in London. The chosen project was Breathing Bathtub by the young Chinese designer Xi Li.

Breathing Bathtub is an innovative concept that turns bathing into a healthier experience for the user and is significantly more efficient in terms of energy and water consumption.

The bathtub is lined with a material similar to a sponge. The material molds itself to the shape of the user, guaranteeing maximum comfort and as a result consuming less than half the water used normally. The sponge material filters the water through a process similar to the osmosis of plants, meaning that any impurity in the water becomes trapped in the lower layer of the lining, guaranteeing clean water and an important reduction in consumption. Another distinctive feature of the bathtub's lining is its ability to indicate when the water should be renewed. Visit www.roca.com
