HIDE & SEAT
An innovative space-saving solution
Hide & Seat brings an intelligent and novel design to the shower area by combining functionality with a sense of well-being. The system combines a shower tray with a shower screen, and integrates a seat and trolley into the streamlined design. The seat, which fits snugly into the shower area, lifts up to reveal a pocket storage for keeping shower time paraphernalia like sponges, loofahs and bottles of shower gels and creams. The exterior portion of Hide & Seat features a pull-out trolley that is kept separate from the shower area, ensuring its contents remain dry. The trolley can be used to store spare towels and bathrobes, and doubles up as an extra stool in the bathroom.

PROBLEM
Bathrooms in general have very few dedicated areas to sit down. Those who include a seat in their bathroom often have a seat which only suits the dry or the wet space but not both. However many bathrooms are too small or cluttered to allow space for a seat. Many people are therefore urged to use their toilet, bidet or edge of the bath as a seat which are not designed for this purpose.
