可以控制洗澡时间的浴帘
It's an extreme measure to save water - a shower curtain that physically ejects the user after four minutes.
节水出绝招啦——洗澡时间超过四分钟,浴帘就会把洗澡的人“赶”走。
Specifically targeted at those who spend leisurely periods of time in the bathroom, London-based artist, Elisabeth Buecher, created the unique product to force people to change their water-wasting habits.
Named 'Spiky', the shower curtain features soft plastic spikes which lie flaccid during the shower, and upon reaching the time limit, dramatically inflate and jut outwards, forcing the user out.
'Spiky' functions by rigging the tap with a sensor which triggers the non-painful spikes after reaching the four-minute limit.
The colorful soft spikes are attached to a plastic shower curtain, and after expanding with air, trap the bewildered user, ensuring the shower swiftly becomes an uncomfortable and cramped experience.
Although undoubtedly an ingenious water-saving tool, many have questioned its flexibility, particularly for those that need to wash their hair - an exercise which will certainly last longer than four minutes.
However, as it stands, the shower curtain is currently only an art installation and not available for commercial sale.
