Annotation

This shower cubicle is made from 3D filament recyclate and the design itself is based on the mechanical properties of the material. The set consists of a shower tray and two types of tiles. The recycled 3D filament is suitable for the bathroom due to its surface - it is smooth, glossy and cool to the touch - reminiscent of ceramics, which is now the main material for bathrooms. The plastic has the advantage of being bendable, which allows shapes to be achieved that would not be possible with ceramic. The manufacturing process of the set is very simple - the tiles and the tub are made by bending one piece of plastic. Because the material used is made from 3D prints of different colours, the colour of the product is different according to the input pulp and each piece is an original.
